I don't know if Zhan Ting arranged for someone to clear the venue in advance, or if the courtyard here is too secluded, and everyone is noisy and fighting, making such a big noise, and there are no idlers coming to watch and have fun.

Xu You saw that He Wei didn't seem to want to mention that senior brother very much, so he didn't ask anymore, looked at the rangers all over the ground, and said, "What do you say Zhan Ting will do next?" ”

"If he wasn't that stupid, he would have had a back hand. According to my estimate, it won't be a quarter of an hour, and the county government's thief arrest is about to arrive......"

"Then just wait, just in the yard to breathe. Autumn equinox, go move a few stools, I and the two Langjun under this ancient locust tree, enjoy the scenery of 'ten thousand leaves in the autumn sound, thousands of homes when the sun shines'! ”

The autumn equinox answered, and just as he was about to go to the room to move the stool, Zhan Ting walked in with seven or eight men. Seeing a group of people rolling and wailing on the ground, Dou Qi was lying there motionless, not knowing whether he was alive or dead, an angry color flashed across his face, and he said in a low voice: "Waste! ”

"Zhan Langjun, are these people making trouble in the building?" The person who spoke was wearing a flat head, wearing a green cloth and a peach brocade uniform, tall and dignified, but a pair of eyes revealed a bit of evil spirit, when looking at people, he first stared at his hands and feet, then his chest and abdomen, and then his face, as if he wanted to use his eyes to dissect your whole person.

"Yes, Zheng thieves were arrested, it was them, not only did they submit all the doubts when they invested in the store, but they were also arrogant, and now they have injured so many people, I think they are either traitors or thieves, please arrest and return to the county government for careful interrogation, and they will definitely be able to ask about the illegal situation!"

The Thief Arrest Branch is under the Fa Cao, in charge of thieves, and if there is a thief and the main name is not established, then the investigation will be carried out, and the case will be investigated to start the matter. Therefore, He Wei previously guessed that if Zhan Ting reported to the official, he would come to investigate the thief, and sure enough, it was not true.

Send people to expel first, if you don't use the underworld, the underworld will not succeed, and the government will come forward immediately, so any history is contemporary history, and this routine is exactly the same as the world when Xu You came!

Zheng Thief glanced at Xu You and the others, and without saying much, he waved his hand and said, "Take it away!" ”

Behind him were the street guards of the county government, with green shirts and trousers, and a swords around their waists, and they rushed up at the order.

Zuo Yan was just about to make a move, Xu You shook his head slightly, and said, "Since it is Gu County's order, it is better to leave some leeway." ”

He Wei said coldly: "Qilang is just too cautious and lacks a little of the anger of a young man." This kind of soap, if you beat it, you will be beaten, and Gu County's order can still make a gap for you because of this? ”

"Okay, don't pretend, forgive you a few outsiders, can you still climb the lintel of Gu Ming's Mansion?" Zheng thief arrest is the shrewdness experienced in the public gate, at a glance, even Dou Qi and this group of rangers dare to do something with them, Zhan Ting even made it clear that he wants to rectify these people, indicating that the other party has no big background, and he can earn 10,000 yuan if he catches it, this kind of good thing is much more interesting than catching thieves and thieves.

He sneered: "I don't bother to talk about the superfluous words, obediently tie my hands, and with your sins, I will be punished." If you dare to resist, I don't know how many thieves' heads have been cut off under the three-foot knives of my brothers! ”

Fighting?

Xu You whispered to He Wei: "Isn't the punishment of the government officials specially punished?" It is used to correct sluggishness, which is a kind of official punishment, when did it start to be used on the people? ”

Punishment is also called whipping, which is aimed at supervising and teaching officials, and is not included in the law, and is divided into two types: whipping and regular whipping. The whip is made of raw leather to four incorruptible, and the whip is often made of cooked leather. The head of the hoof, the length of the new button is one foot and one inch, the length of the sheath is two feet and two inches, the width is three points, the thickness is one point, and the handle is two feet and five inches long. It sounds cruel that both men and women are required to strip and leak their backs when they are tortured, but in fact it is a great step forward for women. Because before the whipping, the woman had to be flogged, she needed to take off her pants and leak her buttocks, and the secret place was often confessed in front of the person, so later she advocated humanization, so she changed the flogging to the whip!

Although He Wei was surprised that Xu You seemed to know a lot about various punishment laws, but he didn't know why, he didn't trigger his curiosity at this juncture, and said: "The punishment was not included in the law when Cao Wei was in the time, and after the state of Chu settled in Jiangdong, it inherited the Wei system and never entered the law. However, in the third year of Tai'an, the lord personally ordered the punishment to be put into the law, and from then on, the officials and the people were punished for the same crime. ”

Tai'an is the second era name of An Zidao, and it is also the name of the era he changed after the failure of the second Northern Expedition, when the Northern Wei army almost approached the Yangtze River, and the domestic situation was turbulent, so there were many political considerations for revising the punishment at this time.

It was the first time that He Wei called An Zidao the Lord, and it can be seen that he is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter. In front of the county government office, if you open your mouth and shut up the name of An Zidao again, what kind of revenge and national cause will you talk about?

"I see!"

Xu You's jaw head said that he knew, and said lightly: "Zheng thief arrested, right?" What sin do I have to be punished? ”

Zheng Thief Sen Sen smiled, pointed to the ranger on the ground, and said, "Fighting, hurting people...... Oh, and there are those who are maimed, and the punishment is already a very low punishment. Close it for more than ten days at most, pay some ransom, and you can come out! ”

The penal redemption is also written into the law, which stipulates that under a variety of punishments, money can be paid to be exempted, so Zheng Thief arrest is not a public solicitation of bribes.

Xu You heard Zhan Ting's calculations, gave them some lessons, and locked them up for more than ten days, with injuries and no freedom, he was too busy to take care of himself, of course he had no time to care about Zhan's affairs!

Although this method is simple and lacks technical content, it is a three-plate axe that attracts blood to ordinary people, and it is really difficult to resist when it is used to split the head and cover the face.

"It's okay, it's been more than two days since I came to Qiantang, it's time to meet Gu County's order. Don't work for everyone, lead the way! ”

Zheng Thief touched the beard on his chin, his eyes rolled, and he suddenly showed a little smile, and said: "We also took Zhan Langjun's form, so we came to see which is right and which is wrong, and we have to tell the Ming Mansion to cut it." Since you are interested, then you will not be on the torture instrument, go! ”

Zhan Ting's face was uncertain, and he said, "Brother Zheng, you ......"

Zheng Thief arched his hand, interrupted his words, and said: "Zhan Langjun, it's still the same sentence, which is right and which is wrong, and I have my own Ming Mansion to judge." Don't worry, you are a famous man in Qiantang, the Ming Mansion is fair and virtuous, and you will never favor outsiders and let you be wronged! ”

Gongmen is a place of practice, but all those who can nod their heads in it are all monkey spirits who see the wind and make rudders, and they don't leave their hands.

"He was the one who did it just now, I am the mastermind, just let the two of us go with you, what does Zheng Thief think?"

Zheng Thief thought about it, anyway, he couldn't lose it if he was in Zhibin Building, nodded and said, "Let's go!" ”

Xu You glanced at He Wei and asked him to stay with the autumn equinox to take care of Lu Shuang, who was still sick in the room, but he and Zuo Yan left with the thieves and street guards. When he passed by Zhan Ting's side, he said: "Wuqu Langjun, we are going to the county government to surrender, and when the county order has not been decided, He Langjun and their safety will be handed over to you for protection." If something goes wrong, the county order will ask for it, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain. ”

Zhan Ting's hateful teeth itched, and he watched Xu You and them leave, his resentful eyes lingered for a long time, and he threw up his sleeves and walked outside. When he arrived at the courtyard gate, he said angrily: "Seal the door and send people to guard it, except for the people from the county government, everyone else is not allowed to enter or exit!" ”

Out of the Zhibin Building, the sky is nearly evening, the pedestrians on the road are gradually fewer, and the glow of the sky is shrouded in the mountains and rivers, depicting this ancient city of Qiantang like a fairyland.

"Lang Jun really recognizes Gu Mingfu?" Zheng Thief asked tentatively.

Xu You asked rhetorically: "Dare to ask the thief to catch the name?" ”

"Under Zheng Jing!"

Serious?

This name is not serious when he hears it, Xu You couldn't help but laugh and said: "Zheng Thief may have misunderstood, I don't know Gu Xianling......"

Zheng Jing's eyes rolled, and he said, "But the family origin? ”

"Seriously, Gu County Ling was born in the Gu clan of Wu County, and he has been a Mao clan for generations, I am just a common man, how dare I climb high?"

"Qi Min?" Zheng Jing's eyes had already revealed a haze, and said, "What is Lang Jun coming to Qiantang for?" ”

Xu Youqi said: "Didn't Zhan Langjun tell you?" I am Qi Min who moved to Qiantang to settle down......"

Zheng Jing has always had a relationship with Zhan Ting, and he drinks and has fun in Zhibin Building on weekdays, and the expenses are generally free, and the friendship is not bad. So this time, as soon as he received a message from the person he sent, saying that someone was making trouble, he immediately brought his men over to support the field. If it weren't for the fact that Xu You was extraordinary just now, Zuo Yan was very skilled, and his words seemed to be implicated in Gu County's order, so he changed his attitude, and in line with the law of being cautious, he would rather let it go than kill it.

Unexpectedly, it was really just a poor family, and he couldn't stay in his hometown, and ran to Qiantang to become a naturalized ordinary Qi Min, Zheng Jing's face turned dark, and he said: "Since you are a prisoner, who allowed you to go on the road with this thief?" Come on, postpone and look at it! ”

Zuo Yan snorted coldly and protected Xu You's side. Xu You can be regarded as having seen the tens of thousands of faces of these lowest-level soap subordinates, and said with a smile: "Zheng thief arrest, the county government should not be far from here, anyway, it won't take long, you bear with it, if you really get there, I was reprimanded by Gu County, it's not too late for you to turn your face!" ”

At first glance, this was for Zheng Jing's sake, but no matter how he pondered how it was not a taste, he couldn't say anything to refute it, so he had to go first with a black face. The other street guards with swords divided into circles and surrounded Xu Youzuo in the middle, looking like Gu County's order to inspect the people's situation, Zheng Jing opened the road, and the street guards were like guards, which caused the ignorant villagers who occasionally passed by to exclaim, and hurriedly avoided Daozuo in fright, respectfully letting them run amok.

Qiantang County Ya, far away!
