(1 month later)

Ye Xun looked at the official document with a solemn face, and the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, and his hands couldn't help shaking. He raised his head and glared at Wen Du with red eyes, "You had to fight him at that time, what now?" If he would have been holding him back, Cao Zhixian would not have been forced to death by him now! This 'Uncle Tang' will not go to the point where he has to die! ”

"Ye Xun, don't be impulsive! He doesn't have to die now! You don't have to worry about it. Seeing that he was emotional, Wen Du was afraid that he would be reckless and bad, so he hurriedly said.

"This time he had to die! The emperor wants to be the king of the ages, how can he allow these people to ruin his reputation here. Others dare not do it, the emperor can't do it, only I do it. Ye Xun stood up and was about to go outside.

Wen Du stopped in front of him, "Ye Xun! You can't go! ”

Ye Xun sneered, "You can't stop me!" You now have only two options: first, stay here. Second, come with me. Seeing that Wen Du was still standing in front of him and did not move, Ye Xun reached out and pushed Wen Du aside. Then he shouted at the others, "You guys! Take the guy with me! ”

It turned out that a few days ago, Tang Enzhi met Cao Zhixian's daughter Cao Lanzhi on the street, and fell in love with her at first sight. After many inquiries, he knew that he was the daughter of Cao Zhixian of Qiantang County, so he asked a matchmaker to come to the door to propose marriage, and wanted to marry her as the wife of the third aunt. After Cao Zhixian heard this, he simply excused himself. First of all, her daughter has been married to a Lang Zhong who opened a medical clinic in Linxian County; In addition, their family is also a scholarly family, and their daughter will never be a concubine for others. Maybe the matchmaker was counted out in Cao Zhixian and felt aggrieved, and when he arrived at the Tang Mansion, he added fuel and vinegar and said that the Cao family looked down on their family, not to mention the aunt's wife, even the wife of the main house was unwilling to marry. The Tang family was very angry, and Tang Enzhi took people in a fit of rage, took the bride price, and directly moved the bride price into the courtyard, and declared that he would marry in three days, and he would marry if he married, and he would marry if he didn't marry! Cao Zhixian was also furious, isn't this just robbing relatives? He doesn't believe in the blue sky and white sun, and there is no king law in Langlang Qiankun? He asked the officials to throw the bride price out into the street. The two families carried it. Three days later, Tang Enzhi really brought a large number of people to marry, and Cao Zhixian resisted desperately with the officials, but the Tang family was overwhelming, and they saw that their daughter was robbed of a sedan chair. This is simply too much deception, how can Cao Zhixian endure it? He knew that if his daughter married like this, she would not have a good life. Cao Zhixian was full of grief and indignation, and at the last moment when the Tang family was about to carry their daughter away, he hit the stone lion in front of the door and died. As soon as Tang Enzhi saw that he was killed, he threw down Cao Lanzhi and fled in a hurry with his people......

This incident caused a stir for a while, and the people and officials like Cao Zhixian were outraged. Cao Lanzhi knew the power of the Tang family, so she wrote a lawsuit and handed a copy to each yamen......

Seeing that Ye Xun led people away, Wen Du had no choice but to follow. Without waiting for anyone to report, Ye Xun led people directly into the hall. In the hall, the father and son of the Tang family were nervously discussing something with Lord Cai, and when they saw Ye Xun coming, they were so frightened that they didn't know what to say for a while.

Ye Xun spoke first, "Lord Cai is also here?" ”

"Leaf ...... My lord? What are you ......?" Lord Cai asked, pointing to the person Ye Xun had brought with him.

"This official has received Cao Lanzhi's petition and is here to arrest the criminal." As he spoke, Ye Xun's arrow-like gaze swept towards Tang Enzhi.

Tang Enzhi was so frightened that he hurriedly hid behind his father, shaking his head and justifying, "This matter has nothing to do with me!" Don't blame me! I can't go with you! ”

"What's the matter? Do you still want to resist arrest? Ye Xun said coldly.

"Master Ye, I didn't expect him to commit suicide, he was going to die by himself, I didn't force him. I don't want that either. Don't arrest me! Tang Enzhi pleaded with tears.

"You think everyone is like you. People are full of poetry and books, they are virtuous, and they can be killed but not humiliated! You bullied people to the door, and said you didn't force him? How else are you going to force him! Ye Xun suppressed the anger in his chest and shouted, "What are you doing in a daze?" Go up and torture people! ”

"Don't!" Tang Enzhi hugged his head and cried.

"Lord Ye! This case will be handed over to the government! Master Cai stood up and stopped.

Ye Xun glanced at Lord Cai, "The lower official has already received Cao Lanzhi's paper, so let's go down to the lower official in this case." ”

"Lord Ye! The official also has a copy of her pleadings here! In fact, Lord Cai is contradictory at this time, on the one hand, he wants to show himself in front of the Tang family that he is trying his best to defend them; On the other hand, I am worried that this case will be a hot yam, and if I really get there, I don't know how to deal with it. Therefore, he was just acting with Ye Xun, and he didn't really want to fight with him.

"This case should be handed over to the lower officials, so that it won't bother adults." Ye Xun said very resolutely.

"This official will give the emperor a fold and explain this matter." Lord Cai threatened.

"Listen to it!" After Ye Xun finished speaking, with a wave of his hand, the officials stepped forward to take people.

"Lord Ye! There's something to say! Tang Xijiu wanted to stop those officials, but when he saw that he couldn't stop them, he had to shout to the people outside, "Someone!" You can't let Lord Ye take the young master away. ”

Tang Enzhi was escorted out by several officials, and the family members stopped in front of them with knives, guns and sticks, and surrounded the door...... The officials looked at Ye Xun.

"Who dare stop me?!" Ye Xun took out a knife from the official beside him and said with a disdainful smile at everyone. The family members have all seen Ye Xun's skills, but no one dared to step forward, as Ye Xun approached, they unconsciously retreated, making way for them, and as a result, they watched Ye Xun take people out of the gate.

Behind her, Tang's mother was crying and grabbing the ground, "Son! Son! He shouted.

Tang Xijiu said sharply, "What are you crying about!" People are not dead! He just took people away, and he didn't dare to do anything to him! If my Zhi'er is missing a hair, I won't let him eat and walk around! ”

These words were obviously threatening, the corners of Ye Xun's mouth didn't move, and he left straight away with his people......

Ye Xun walked at the front of the team, and Wen Du, who had always walked beside him, followed at the back of the team this time. Wen Du heard the two officials in front of him whisper proudly, "Our adults are really imposing!" Even the governor's people dare to rob it! Those who have led soldiers are different! ”

"It's a pleasure! I was so angry before! Now with such an adult, we also feel that our backs are hard! ”

Wen Du glanced at them, "It's quite majestic now." But when he's unlucky, you'll be unlucky with him. ”

"Lord Shen, how can you talk like that? Isn't this a curse for us? A servant tilted his head and said to Wen Du dissatisfiedly.

"Is he still using spells? Don't you see that he's about to be unlucky? Several people had been muttering quietly, and Wen Du's words suddenly shouted excitedly.

Ye Xun glanced back at him, shook his head and smiled, not careless.

Seeing that Ye Xun ignored them, several officials discussed in a low voice, "You said that we are just a few people, if we really start to do it just now, will we have to suffer?" ”

"Afraid of what? We adults can fight against hundreds! One of the officials said proudly.

"Still one against a hundred? Why don't you say that you have one enemy against a thousand! In the future, there is no need to send any troops or set up any artillery on the battlefield, it is enough for him to go by himself! Wen Du dismantled the platform on the side.

The official was not in a hurry or annoyed, and still said proudly, "Our adults may not be able to really fight one against a hundred, but the aura is enough to deter a thousand people!" ”

"That's right! Right! Several other officials chimed in.

Wen Du glanced at them and was speechless.

In the following days, Ye Xun worked as usual, and only interrogated "Uncle Tang Guo" once, he was not very cooperative, and Ye Xun did not use torture. Regarding Ye Xun's arrest of "Uncle Tang Guo", he still won the support of the people in the entire Hangzhou City. But there are also many people who are secretly happy, waiting to see Ye Xun's jokes, but no matter what people's mentality is, everyone is waiting for Ye Xun's verdict to be announced. However, the Tang family and the governor were busy, negotiating and researching, giving the emperor a watch, and writing a letter to the mother...... The whole city of Hangzhou seems to be calm, but there is an undercurrent......

Finally, the Hangzhou government waited for the holy decree. Ye Xun saw from a distance that the herald was accompanied by Governor Cai, so he waved to the catcher next to him, and the catcher came over, and Ye Xun whispered a few words to him. The man was a little surprised, "My lord! This ......"

"Go! Don't tell anyone, just do it! There is something to be borne by the officer. Ye Xun said in a deep voice.

"Don't even Lord Shen say it?"

"Especially not to let him know. Just go! Ye Xun glanced at the group of people who were getting closer and closer.

"Hangzhou Governor Ye Tianyu has received the order!" The proclamator said sharply.

Ye Xun hurriedly knelt down, "Minister Ye Xun---- Ye Tianyu to take the order!" ”

Just as the announcer was about to announce the decree, Wendu also came panting from outside. He bowed to everyone a little apologetically and nodded, and then hurriedly knelt down behind Ye Xun.

The proclamator glanced at him and began to read out the holy decree, "In order to become a heavenly order, the emperor Zhao said: Order Ye Xun, the prefect of Hangzhou, to hand over the criminal Tang Enzhi to Cai Wei, the governor of Zhejiang, and Cai Wei is fully responsible for this case, and the prefect of Hangzhou must not interfere in this case." Chin this. ”

Ye Xun was stunned for a moment and said, "The ministers are grateful." But......" Ye Xun said with a frown.

"But what?" Lord Cai hurriedly asked.

"However, it's too late, and people have already been dismissed from the law." Ye Xun said with a faint look of pride on his face.

"What? This...... How can it be? Lord Cai couldn't believe it.

Wendu moved to his side and looked at him in disbelief, "Really? Ye Xun, are you crazy! ”

"Don't believe me? Adults, you can send someone to the prison to check on you. People shouldn't be hard yet. Ye Xun said.

Master Cai whispered a few words to the person around him, and the person left quickly. Lord Cai glared fiercely at Ye Xun, who was still kneeling on the ground, and discussed something with the herald in a low voice......

Wendu bumped into him and whispered in his ear, "Why did you do this?" Do you know the consequences of this? ”

"I said he had to die! I delivered him into the hands of the governor, and he escaped!" I'm not going to give them that chance. I can't joke with the emperor's reputation! Ye Xun's eyes showed a resolute light.

"But now this is the emperor's holy decree! You openly resist the decree, do you not want your little life? Wen Du roared anxiously.

"It's too late for you to say anything, I've already killed people." Ye Xun didn't want to listen to his nagging.

"You!" Shen Wendu was really angry and anxious, but there was nothing he could do about him.

The man who had been sent to check had returned, and he whispered in Lord Cai's ear. Ye Xun nervously observed Lord Cai's expression, and when he saw his face change suddenly, his heart finally relaxed.

Wen Du looked at Ye Xun's nervous expression, angry and funny, "What's the matter?" It's still killed! You've been locked up by you for so long, what did you do to kill him? ”

"You know what? I'm waiting for the emperor's secret decree. Now it is a decree that he must die! Ye Xun stared at Lord Cai's increasingly ugly expression, and said in a low voice, "It's going to explode!" ”

"Lord Ye! You're so daring! Sure enough, Lord Cai said angrily after hearing the man's reply. He slapped the table and stood up, "Tang Enzhi is not only not hard, but his blood is still hot!" You! Unexpectedly...... This matter will be made clear by the Holy and let the Holy decide! ”

"Lord Cai, how should the miscellaneous family go back to reply to the emperor?" The herald on the side asked.

"Father-in-law, just go back and tell the emperor truthfully. When the official went back, he wrote a recital like the emperor to explain the matter. Lord Cai bowed down to the herald.

Lord Cai turned to face Ye Xun again, "Lord Ye has no king's law!" Bullying and resisting the will! Waste of human life! Come! Imprisoned Lord Ye. ”

Ye Xun's face was expressionless, and he still looked indifferent.

Wen Du pleaded anxiously, "Lord Cai, Hangzhou Mansion still needs Lord Ye to preside." Can you let him wait in Hangzhou Mansion? ”

"No! Lord Ye is not imprisoned, how do you let this official explain to the family of the deceased! The day-to-day affairs of Hangzhou Mansion are in the hands of Jiang Tongzhi and you. Come on, take people away! After saying that, Lord Cai turned around and walked out.

Wen Du got up to help Ye Xun, and suddenly leaned close to him and whispered in his ear, "If you enter the prison, you must not eat any food and water inside, I will find a way to get you out as soon as possible." ”

Ye Xun stared at him with wide eyes and puzzled.

Wen Du stared into his eyes and added, "You must listen to me this time!" ”

Ye Xun seemed to understand something and nodded.

Ye Xun followed the officials of the governor's yamen out of the gate of the Hangzhou Mansion, and when he went out, he saw Tang Enzhi's parents. Originally, the two of them happily came to see their son who they hadn't seen for many days, but they didn't expect to get this bad news. Tang Enzhi's mother looked a little dazed, and Tang Xijiu also looked like she had aged a lot all of a sudden. Ye Xun suddenly felt a little unbearable in his heart. When the two saw Ye Xun, they rushed to him like crazy, "You return my son!" My poor son! "Ye Tianyu! I'm going to tear you to pieces! ”

Ye Xun didn't move, letting them tear and scratch on him. The officials of Hangzhou Mansion couldn't stand it anymore, and came up to take away the two crazy old men.

Lord Cai glared at the officials, "Bold! Dare to be so presumptuous in front of this official! ”

One of the catchers bowed down and said, "Lord Cai, our adults have not been convicted yet, how can you allow others to humiliate us like this?" ”

Lord Cai glanced at Ye Xun, and saw that the clothes on his body had been torn crookedly, and there were still a few scratches on his face, so he ignored it and said with a straight face, "Take people away!" ”

Ruolian hurried over when she heard the news, and she asked Wendu with a blank face, "What's going on?" How can you try a case and put yourself in prison? ”

Wen Du bowed to Ruolian, "Madam." ”

"Oops, you don't have to be so polite at this time! You're talking! Now that the person is in the governor's prison, there is no danger, right? They're not going to torture him, are they? ”

"It's not going to be punished, they are all officials of the imperial court, and without the emperor's approval, other officials are not allowed to execute adults without permission. But what I'm worried about is ......," Wendu hesitated to say to her.

"What are you worried about?" Ruolian was in a hurry.

Wen Du glanced at Ruolian, but decided to tell her, "I'm worried that he has made too many enemies, and some people will do things to him in terms of eating and harming him." ”

"Huh? So what to do? Ruolian was obviously frightened and a little flustered.

"Don't worry, ma'am. I told him not to eat any food or drink the water in the prison. ”

"But you can't last a few days without eating or drinking?"

"So, we're going to find a way to get him out."

"Figured out?" Ruolian said a little flustered, "What can you do?" By the way, let's go get some silver for the governor, and I'll go to Xiaoxiao to borrow money. Saying that, Ruolian was about to go out.

Wen Du stopped him, "Madam, I'm afraid that this situation can't solve the problem." Leave it to me! You just take care of your home. ”

"Wendu! Then please. Ruolian looked at him gratefully.

In the next few days, Wendu went to see Lord Cai several times, but was pushed by Lord Cai on the pretext. Seeing that three days had passed, Wen Du was worried that Ye Xun in the prison would not survive, and his heart became more and more anxious. On this day he came to the governor's gate again, and said to the guard at the gate, "Excuse me, I want to see the governor." ”

The man had passed on the word to him many times, and he already knew him, "Our adults said that it is inconvenient to see you, so you better go back." ”

"You give this to Master Cai, and he will definitely see me." Wen Du took out a waist card from his arms and handed it to the guard.

The guard looked at the waist card, then at Wendu, and went in to pass the pass. A few moments later, the guard came out and made a gesture to Wen Du to please inside.

Wen Du was taken into a room by a subordinate, and Lord Cai was sitting in it playing with Wen Du's waist card. Seeing Wen Du coming in, he immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile, "Lord Shen! I didn't expect Lord Shen to have such an identity, I'm afraid that even Lord Ye doesn't know, right? ”

Wen Du bowed and returned the salute, "Lord Cai." ”

"Lord Shen has been wanting to see this official because of Lord Ye's case?"

"Exactly. The humble post is here to ask the adults to let Lord Ye go. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid not. Lord Cai said with a smile, "Lord Ye behaves like this, if the official puts him back, how will others evaluate the official?" This official would never be able to agree to Lord Shen. ”

"What if I say I have the emperor's edict here?"

"It can't be!" Lord Cai shook his head and smiled, "From Hangzhou to the capital, it is to use the fastest horse, and it takes seven or eight days to go back and forth. ”

Wen Du took out a piece of paper from the placket of his shirt and offered it with both hands, "Please take a look at the governor!" ”

Wendu took Ye Xun back to the house, and everyone was already waiting at home in advance when they heard the news. Because he was afraid of getting his official uniform dirty when he was in prison, Ye Xun put the official uniform neatly folded aside, and wore a white shirt. Now his white clothes were dirty, his hair was a little messy, his face was haggard, and his face was filthy. But even so, it is difficult to hide his handsome and delicate face, and the stubble that emerges slightly looks more manly.

Ruolian looked away from his face and smiled, "It's good to come back!" You go wash and change your clothes before you come out to eat. ”

"Madam, can I drink a bowl of porridge before I wash it? I'm hungry and thirsty right now, and I'm going to take a shower and I'm going to faint. Ye Xun said a little weakly.

Ruolian patted her head and smiled, "yes, why am I so confused." I haven't eaten in days! Tao'er go and bring a bowl of porridge to the young master. ”

In the study, Ye Xun's clothes were clean and fresh, and most of his spirit had recovered, he looked at Wen Du, "Wen Du, thanks to you this time." Or I'd probably die in prison. But how did you get me out? ”

Wen Du hesitated, "This is a long story, let's talk slowly in the future." ”

"No, why wait until later, just say it now. I'm curious, so many people want to put me to death, and Lord Cai also hates me to the core, how can he let me out so easily? ”

"You know so many people want you to die! I didn't do it myself. Wen Du gave him a blank look.

"What exactly did you use? Tell me! ”

"I ...... It's coercion and temptation. At first, he said all the good things, but later said that your relationship with the emperor is not ordinary, and if you have a mistake, he can't afford to wait for it. Wendu said perfunctorily.

Ye Xun was skeptical, "I still don't understand how to coerce and induce?" Didn't you say that Lord Cai would be a feudal official in the future? Do you dare to intimidate him? Inducements? Did the two of you engage in any shady deals? ”

Wen Du smiled, "Illegal transactions? I don't have any money, so I can only make a promise. ”

Ye Xun also smiled. He felt that Wen Du didn't want to say it, maybe there was something hidden, so he didn't force it. This incident made him prevaricate in a daze. "You saved me, how can I thank you?"

"If only you gave me the peach to be married." Wen Du's eyes lit up.

"You saved me, why do you want Tao'er to promise you? Shall I be my own lord and promise myself to you? Ye Xun said deliberately.

Wen Du glanced at him in disgust, and then looked at him squarely, "You've been interrogating me for a long time, isn't it time to talk about your problem?" ”

Ye Xun already had a premonition, "I...... What's the problem? ”

"Since Miss Wu left, what do you think you have done? Are you too willful? I think you must be trying to be martyred, so you deliberately used this method to kill yourself. Wen Du looked like he hated iron but not steel.

Ye Xun propped his head with his hand and said in annoyance, "The matter between me and Miss Wu has passed, can you stop mentioning it!" ”

Wen Du sneered, "Hmph, your business is over." But what about what you provoked? You killed Concubine Ning's own brother, how could she spare you! She is pregnant with a dragonborn now, why does the emperor have to give her a little thin noodles, right? Do you know? Mr. Cai, together with other officials, wrote an excerpt describing the whole process. Akari seems to be impartial and is explaining the facts. Actually, I participated in your book. even mentioned that you and Tang Enzhi fought on the street a month ago, and said that after the incident, you insisted on trying this case yourself, and no one could persuade you. Isn't this saying that you are announcing personal vendetta and transgressing law enforcement? In addition, the Tang family also sharpened their knives all day long, trying to break your body into pieces. I think you are more than lucky, you just wait for bad luck! ”

"So what can we do? Just waiting? Ye Xun asked cautiously.

Wen Du suddenly became angry, "Are you asking me now?" What did you do earlier? Why didn't you know to ask me when you killed Tang Enzhi? ”

Ye Xun cupped his cheeks and said pitifully, "Okay, I won't ask you." I deserve it, so let me fend for myself. ”

Wen Du sighed, "I've already written a defense for you. explained the cause and effect to the emperor clearly. But what is the end result? It also depends on how the emperor decides. ”

"I know you won't leave me alone." Ye Xun Chong Wendu smiled.
