Wow –

The pouring rain fell, and it was already evening in Bianliang City, and the sky was even darker. The water falls down the eaves, passes through the ditches, and turns into turbid currents among the city's lanes, flooding wantonly.

In Willow Alley, several large cars were parked in the sewage-filled lanes, and some men in guard clothes were scattered around with umbrellas from far and near. Next to it was a small, dilapidated portal, in which people gathered, and occasionally cries were heard, and the voices of people alternated between arguing and justifying.

Ning Yi was talking to the crying woman in the dilapidated room.

“…… From going to the academy to studying in the school, to the little cow to take the Xiucai exam, we will be responsible for all his expenses, and if there is any injury on his leg, we will take care of his life in the future......"

"Aunt Pan, your life is not easy, I all know that Xiao Niu's father sacrificed to defend the city, at that time Zhu Biao and they were also working hard outside the city, speaking of which, to be able to fight together, everyone is a family, we don't need to do things so stiffly, we can all say. If you have any requests, you can ......"

“…… No, no, no, we're not bullying you, don't cry. You see this matter, I also asked the patriarch and his old man to come over, your ideas, as long as it is reasonable, we will help to do it......"

The woman's cry occasionally turned high, and Ning Yi's words were always slow and sincere. Time passed in this atmosphere, and by nightfall, when the rain had lightened, a group of men and horses dressed in robes came from the other side of the street, and when they reached this side, there was a slight friction with the guards outside, but the leader of the group finally walked quickly to the dilapidated courtyard gate.

The person at the head is Tie Tianying, one of the seven chief arresters of the Criminal Department.

He strode through the courtyard, and in the room on the other side, the two sides seemed to have agreed on the terms, but the woman saw the Iron Aquila enter. The bitter look on his face froze there again, and he was about to cry again.

Ning Yi went over and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, it's okay, auntie, you go and wait first, let's make things clear, and there won't be any more chaos." This side of the Iron Catcher. I'll tell him that he's just on business, and he's not going to be in trouble......"

Persuaded like this, Tie Tianying stepped into the door: "Ning Liheng, how dare you do this!" Pan, if he threatens you in private, tell me that I will not be able to get around him! ”

A tall and thin old man came over in the room: "Lord Head Catcher, Lord Head Catcher." There is no intimidation, there is no intimidation, Ning Gongzi came here this time, just to make things clear, and the old man can testify......"

"Who are you!?" Iron Skyhawk glared at him.

"The old man is the patriarch of the Niu clan, and he came here for the calf's injury. Head catcher, sit ......"

"Go away, I'll talk to the surnamed Ning, and if there is any intimidation. If you say it, forget it! ”

"Yes, yes, Maverick, make it clear to the chief catcher......"

That clan can't get the good face of the Iron Sky Eagle. Hurriedly spoke to the woman next to her, the woman was just a daughter-in-law who married into the Niu family, even if her husband died, there were children, the patriarch stared at her, how dare she mess around. But this is also an amazing person in front of him. After a while, he said with a crying voice: "Make it clear, make it clear, always catch the ......."

Big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimp. There is always something to come. Tie Tianying's gaze was grim, but with these words, Ning Yi sent the woman aside. He turned back again, Tie Tianying looked at him, sneered and nodded: "Okay, Ning Liheng, you can really do it." In the past few days, so many ...... have been settled."

"It's just a water mill, and the iron is always famous." Ning Yi sighed, and then said, "Iron catcher, there is a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not. ”

Tie Tianying tilted his head: "Say." ”

"They are all small families, and none of them can afford to offend." Standing under the eaves, Ning Yi looked back at the entire courtyard, "Since the decision has been made, will you let them go?" Don't go back and trouble them, leave them alive. ”

His tone was sincere, and Tie Tianying's muscles pulled a few times, and finally waved his hand: "Go!" "Walk out of the courtyard with someone. Ning Yi then wiped his hands and went outside with the Niu clan leader.

On this day, everyone came for an earlier event.

Since the situation in the capital took a sharp turn in March of this year, Qin Siyuan was put on trial after being imprisoned, and a whole month has passed. In this month, many complicated things are happening under the table, and public opinion on the surface is also undergoing drastic changes.

After Qin Siyuan's trial, many things that were originally pressed in the shadows were thrown to the table, corrupt the law, form parties for personal gain, and use power for profit...... The weaving and laying out of all kinds of evidence brings out a huge outline of traitorous and corrupt officials. The people who held the hand to paint were some of the most intelligent people at the top of the power of the Wu Dynasty at this time, including Zhou Zhe, including Cai Jing, including Tong Guan, Wang Hao, and so on.

Half of the evidence of these things is basically true, and after their listing and weaving, it finally produces great persuasive power in the trial day by day. These things were fed back into the ears and mouths of the scholars in the capital, and then fell into the lower level of the information network every day, so for more than a month, when Qin Shaoqian was implicated and imprisoned, the city's image of Qin Siyuan in the "Seven Tigers" was reversed and stereotyped.

Some shops and industries related to the Qin government were subsequently implicated on a small scale, including Zhuji and some bookstores that originally belonged to the Wang family.

The Wang family's industry was originally run by the family of the great Confucian Wang Qisong, Wang Shanyue and Qin Siyuan had a master-apprentice friendship, and later fought side by side with Ning Yi in Shandong, and was bewitched by Ning Yi and became a cooperative relationship. After the expansion of Zhuji, Ning Yi planned to improve some of the machinery and processes of the book printing and paper book workshops to improve efficiency, and these bookshops were taken care of by the women of the Wang family.

At this time, Zhu Biao, who was working beside Ning Yi, came to Bianliang, fell in love with a girl from the Wang family, decided on a family affair, and occasionally went to the Wang family to help.

On this day in mid-April, some people were instigated and bewitched and ran to the Wang family's shop to smash it, and Zhu Biao happened to be there, blocking the gate leading to the backyard of the bookstore, and beat the people who rushed in.

Zhu Biao studied under Luan Tingyu, who was one of the best players in Dulonggang, and later followed Ning Yi to fight, at this time his skills may not be inferior to Chen Fan in Hangzhou, but he is one of the people with the highest combat power around Ning Yi. In the capital in front of him, there may be only one Lu Hongti who can steadily suppress him. With his skill approaching the grandmaster level, where would an ordinary "patriotic youth" be an opponent, and in a fit of rage, dozens of people were knocked to the ground. But as a result, there was also trouble.

The bookstore was subsequently sealed, and the government also began to investigate the matter and wanted to arrest Zhu Biao in the case. Ning Yi suppressed this matter on the one hand, and on the other hand, he calmed down the injured and the sufferer. Fortunately, Zhu Biao has followed Ning Yi for so long, and his reckless habits have already changed a lot - if he is still the temperament he had when he first came out of Dulonggang, in the forbearance of these days, dozens of ordinary people rushed in, and I am afraid that none of them will be able to live.

Under Ning Yi's verification. Among the dozens of people, about a dozen people were slightly injured, and there was also a serious injury, it was this young man called "Little Cow", his father died defending the city, he rushed in to smash the shop, beat people, Zhu Biao threw him away, he rushed over again, and finally Zhu Biao threw him on the steps and broke his leg.

Tie Tianying and others collected evidence to convict Zhu Biao. Ning Yi's side arranged a lot of people to settle this matter by lure or coercion. Although it was just a few days, the difficulties in it could not be enumerated, for example, the mother of this calf, Pan Shi, was threatened and lured by Ning Yi on the one hand, and on the other hand, Tie Tianying and the others did the same thing. If she wants to bite the perpetrator to death, or the lion asks for the price with his mouth wide open. Ning Yi went back and forth several times, and finally negotiated the matter this time.

Although this Pan clan is a little greedy, he also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make a lot of money, but under the coercion of Tie Tianying and Ning Yi. She didn't have a good time, and she didn't dare to offend either side of the small family, and it was because of this that Ning Yi finally said something to Tie Tianying.

All the way back to Zhuji, after dinner, more things are actually still in front of me. Zhu Biao's matter is not easy, it is very troublesome, but the troublesome thing is not only the one in front of him.

In the past few days, two Zhuji shops have also been smashed, which is still a trivial matter. The system of the Secret Investigation Division has been separated from Zhuji, and these days, from the capital as the center, the news network around it is being delivered, and many elites of Zhuji have been sent out, and Qi Xinyi and Qi Xinhan brothers are also going south to operate. In the capital, the criminal department was looking for trouble, some staff members were threatened, and some chose to leave, it can be said that the bamboo system established at the beginning, which could be separated, is mostly falling apart at this time, and it is not easy for Ning Yi to be able to hold the core.

He hadn't yet left, but it was almost there. Of course, it's probably not so straightforward and simple to leave, he did some back-up, but he didn't know if it would work.

After dinner, the rain had become lighter, and the staff and shopkeepers of Zhuji were discussing in a few rooms in the courtyard, while Ning Yi was dealing with things on the other side: a shopkeeper came over and said that two shopkeepers were arrested by the criminal department and were beaten up, and then a staff member came to submit his resignation.

Ning Yi allocated the expenses for the injuries and illnesses of the two shopkeepers, and also asked the shopkeeper to appease their families, and persuaded the staff, but in the end, the other party actually dispelled the idea - probably because he saw Ning Yi's difficulties.

After the two groups of people left, at the gate of the courtyard far away, a tall young man also came over, it was Zhu Biao who had been arranged by Ning Yi to do other things in the past few days, at this time he should have heard what Ning Yi and the others were doing, and rushed over, his eyes were uncertain, but naturally it was not aimed at Ning Yi.

"Sit." Ning Yi smiled and raised his hand.

Zhu Biao sat down in front. Although a martial artist is not a person in the officialdom, he also has his own identity and bearing, especially those who have practiced to the level of Zhu Biao, who can already be called a grandmaster in an ordinary place, and he will not bow his head to anyone, but at this time, he really holds something in his heart.

"Although I was born in a place like Dulonggang, I Zhu Biao never felt that I was an unreasonable mountain bandit and savage."

After sitting for a while, Zhu Biao spoke: "Let's not talk about the fight I am waiting for outside the city, whether they are deceived or not, they rushed into the bookstore and smashed them that day, they are already damned people, I took it, not because I was at a loss." ”

He said this in a calm but resolute tone, and Ning Yi had already made him a cup of tea: "You and I have known each other for several years, if you don't say this, I understand it." If you can't get over it in your heart......"

"I can't get over it in my heart, I want to kill someone." Zhu Biao smiled, "But it will cause you trouble." ”

"There is a way to play in the capital, but fortunately, the game is over." Ning Yi paused, "If you feel uncomfortable, there is something going on in the north now, I can let you go and relax." You are a martial arts practitioner, and you have so much to worry about. It hinders your entry. ”

It is extremely difficult for a martial artist to endure humiliation, especially a person like Zhu Biao, but he can't talk so much at the moment. Fortunately, the two have been together for a few years, and they are very familiar with each other, so they don't need to explain too much. After Ning Yi mentioned yì, Zhu Biao shook his head.

"I was on fire before I came. But the road has already been pressed. He said, "You have a lot more anger than I do, and when I think about it, I feel that my cultivation is really not enough." You are looking for someone to apologize these days, you shouldn't hide it from me, it's better to call me together. ”

"That's not to take care of your feelings, this kind of thing, it's better for you not to come forward to solve it, anyway, it's a matter of money and relationships. If you are. They're only going to get an inch. Ning Yi shook his head, "As for the fire, of course I have it, but at this time, the firepower is useless...... You really don't want to go out for a walk? ”

Zhu Biao shook his head again.

Ning Yi was silent for a moment: "Sometimes I also feel that if I want to kill all those fools, it's a hundred." Looking back, the Jurchens called again. Anyway, these people are going to die. Think about it this way. I just feel cold in my heart...... Of course, this time is really sad, no matter how much I can bear it, I will not take other people's slaps as any reward, Zhuji, Xiangfu, are all like this, Lao Qin, Yao Zu Nian them. It's a lot harder than us, if we can hold out for a while, let's help them block a little bit......"

"Before I did things with you, I admired my master. Admire that he can fight. Later, I admired that you can calculate people, and later did things with you, I admired Master Zhou Dong Zhou, he is a real hero, and he deserves it. Zhu Biao said, "Now I admire you, what you do is not what ordinary people can do." You can bear it, what do I have to say, you are in the capital, I am in the capital, someone wants to kill you, I will help you block! Of course, if necessary, I can make the Iron Sky Eagle for you, and then I will fly away, you shake me out, and when you leave Beijing, I will come to meet you again. ”

Ning Yi was stunned, and laughed: "That's not necessary, Tie Tianying is a petty official, what's the use of killing him......"

"Others can too."

"Don't fight and kill all day long, I just wanted to say that you have grown up......"

As Ning Yi was talking, someone came in from outside in a hurry, and when he saw that it was Zhu Biao, who was often guarding Ning Yi's side, he didn't shy away from it, handed Ning Yi a piece of information, and then whispered a few words. Ning Yi took the information and glanced at it, his eyes gradually becoming gloomy. For the past month, this has been his usual expression......

The next day was April 23 of this year, and it rained again in the morning, and the trial of Qin Siyuan in Dali Temple was still continuing. This interrogation is not public, but under the operation of well-intentioned people, the newly discovered problems in the trial every day will be passed out on the same day, and they will always become the talk of the scholars.

After the trial is completed at noon, Qin Siyuan will be escorted back to the prison of the Criminal Department.

The children of the Qin family often come over, and Old Lady Qin, Qin Siyuan's concubine Yunniang and others are also waiting here every time, one to see Qin Siyuan, and the other to see Qin Shaoqian, who has been involved. On this morning, Ning Yi and the others also arrived early, and he sent people to the center for activities and sent a lot of money, but then there was no good result. At noon, when Qin Siyuan and Qin Shaoqian were escorted out, Ning Yi and others greeted them.

Since they were not convicted, the two men only symbolically wore secondary chains. For several days, Qin Siyuan's body has been emaciated, but even so, his pale white hair is still neatly combed back of his head, his spirit and will are still tenaciously supporting his life operation, Qin Shaoqian has not fallen, probably because his father is by his side, his anger has become more restrained and quiet, but when he saw Ning Yi and others, his eyes fluctuated a little, and then looked around.

"Where's my mother? Does she ...... Sick again? ”

He looked around and saw that Old Madam Qin had not arrived, so he asked. Ning Yi hesitated and shook his head, Yun Niang also explained to Qin Siyuan: "Sister is fine, it's just ......" She looked at Ning Yi.

"There may be some things that the old lady didn't let over." Ning Yi replied.

Qin Siyuan nodded and walked forward. He's been through everything, his family is fine, and the rest is not a big deal.

Along the way, Ning Yi roughly explained the situation to Qin Siyuan, but after Qin Siyuan heard it, he was slightly distracted. Ning Yi immediately went to send money to those jailers, but this time, no one answered, and his suggestion to change the route was not accepted.

After leaving Dali Temple for a while, there are not many pedestrians on the road. It was cloudy, and there were still traces of previous rain on the road. Ning Yi looked to the side from afar, and someone made a gesture to him, and he frowned. At this time, he was close to the downtown area, as if he sensed something, and the old man turned his head to look that way. On the second floor of the roadside restaurant, someone looked this way.

"Look, that's the old dog Qin Siyuan!" The man shouted.

More people poked their heads out of there, mostly scholars.

"Qin Siyuan? Which one? ”

"And his son...... Qin Shaoqian—"

After some discussion, someone suddenly shouted: "Rape dog-"

"Why don't you die! Old dog—"

"This country is just being tossed up by you—"

The scolding came, and it still looked monotonous and loud at this time, Ning Yi frowned, and Qin Siyuan next to him looked calm, but at this time he tilted his head: "Hehe." Trouble ......" In the deepest part of that laughter, there was exhaustion.

When everyone passed by the restaurant, there were more scoldings, and many scholars came downstairs, scolding incessantly. In the team on Qin Siyuan's side, there was a ten-year-old child who couldn't help but shout: "My third grandfather is a good person-" Everyone scolded: "That's the old dog's grandson?" "Your whole family deserves to die-"

Ning Yi stepped forward and grabbed the arm of the jailer leader: "Hurry up!" Now, if something happens, see if you can get better! The leader was stunned: "This, this, this...... It's my business. "Although apprehensive. But they didn't.

"Who gave you the order to do this before?"

"W-what. Don't talk nonsense! ”

"You look at the old man in the back, whether he is good or bad, others don't know, how many you have. He was framed, but it's not that no one cares about it, and you sue me for everything. I have a way to get past this level and have your benefits. ”

"What are you talking about......"

The group of jailers who came over this time were not familiar with Ning Yi, although they seemed to be kind to others. In fact, it was difficult to impress for a while. During the negotiations, the shouting and scolding on the side of the road became more and more intense, and a group of scholars followed, scolding. In these days of interrogation, with the emergence of a lot of evidence, Qin Siyuan has at least confirmed several crimes, in the eyes of ordinary people, the logic is very clear, if it were not for the Qin family to control the power and insatiable greed, the national strength would naturally be better, and even if it wasn't for Qin Shaoqian to unify all the elite soldiers under his command by extraordinary means, suppressing colleagues and excluding dissidents, maybe the outside of the city would not have collapsed like that - also, if it weren't for the traitors who were in the way, how could so many people die and fight so many defeats in this Bianliang defense battle.

Pedestrians on the road were a little confused at first, but then many people joined in. Ning Yi was also a little anxious in his heart, for a group of scholars to come to intercept Qin Siyuan, he had received the news before, but then he found that it was not so simple, he arranged for a few people to go to this group of scholars, and when they were inciting, they sang against each other, trying to make people's hearts unified, but then, those people were arrested and quickly went in and arrested.

"Old dog! Can you sleep at night!? ”

"A bunch of traitors, I hate to kill you-"

"Hundreds of thousands of people who died in vain—"

"Wu Chao cheer up! Destroy the Seven Tigers—"

"Get rid of the thieves, re-invigorate—"

Everyone shouted, someone picked up something on the ground and threw it over, Ning Yi had already walked back to Qin Siyuan's side, waved his hand to block it, but it was a filthy mud block, and the muddy water splashed everywhere immediately.

"How dare he stop—"

"Does the dog want to hit someone—"

The scholars over there shouted again, and when they saw that many pedestrians on the road had joined in, their emotions were even higher, and they grabbed something and called again. At first, it was mostly mud and coal on the ground, and then someone threw stones at it. Ning Yi protected Qin Siyuan, and then the guards around him also came over to protect Ning Yi. At this time, many people poked their heads out of the long street, and the people in front stopped, and they looked at this side, first confused, and then began to shout, excitedly joining the procession, and in this morning, the crowd began to become crowded.

"Wu Dynasty Rises—"

"Drink its blood, eat its flesh—"

"Swear to kill the Jurchens, raise my heavenly might-"

The sound was loud, the scholars were shouting hysterically, their faces were red with excitement, and many things were thrown from the air, but they were not edible things such as tomatoes, eggs, and rotten vegetable leaves. Qin Siyuan was protected in it, and he walked forward with difficulty, and he shouted at Ning Yi and the others: "You guys go!" You go! Don't mix-" Ning Yi ignored him, and asked the people around him to find a wooden door board to protect the way forward, but a lot of things still smashed in.

The situation became more and more chaotic in the process of moving forward, someone was hit by a stone and fell, Qin Siyuan's side, but listening to the bang, there was also a figure that fell, it was his little concubine Yunniang, who fell softly with a stone on her head. Qin Shaoqian, who was following next to him, supported her, he was by his father and this aunt's side, his eyes were red, his teeth were clenched, and he lowered his head and walked forward. Someone in the crowd shouted, "My uncle is a loyal servant." "My third grandfather is innocent, and you were all saved by him—" The shout was accompanied by a cry, which made the crowd outside even more excited.

"Beat, beat, rape dog—"

"Beat them up—"

"Let them know it's awesome!"

The atmosphere on the long street was frenetic, and everyone was shouting like this, crowding in. Ning Yi's guards found wooden planks, and everyone walked forward, and someone in front of them rushed over with a bucket, it was two buckets of dung, he smashed it on the person's body, and the dung was splashed all over the sky. The smell was loud, and people applauded even louder, and some people smashed cow dung, dog dung, and the like, and some shouted: "My father was killed by your gang of traitors——"

"Eliminate harm for the people—"

"Kill the traitorous ministers, God bless the Wu Dynasty-"

At this time, Ning Yi had a lot of things on his body, he squeezed forward silently, and the old man next to him was already messy and dirty, so he was just silent and protected Yun Niang to move forward. After a while, he reacted and squeezed Ning Yi's hand: "Yun Niang, Liheng, you come and take Yun Niang out, quickly-" The old man reacted, the only pleading at this time was about his family, many of the Qin family children around him had already cried, and some had fallen, and the surrounding crowd refused to let them go, kicking them on the ground, and then Zhu Ji's guards pulled them back.

Ning Yi handed Yun Niang to Zhu Biao next to him: "Take her out." ”

Zhu Biao handed her over to another person, and he stretched out his hand to block the things smashed in the air with a straight face, and then was hit by cow dung.

From afar, the head hunters of the Criminal Department began to rush over to maintain order, they stared at the team that was about to be buried in anger, and they were ready to arrest people at any time on guard against the violent counterattack of Ning Yi and others.

The wave of sound convergence was like a celebration, and many people in the city were alarmed, some joined in, and some hid from a distance to watch, laughing. On this day, in the face of an enemy who could not fight back, the people who had suffered too much under the siege of the Jurchens finally won a complete victory for the first time...... (To be continued......)

PS: Six thousand nine hundred words, well, think about it, use such a topic.
