It was quiet all day, but then there was a commotion.

Chen Xiaoting said: "Go and see, what's going on!" ”

Standing by the window and watching, what is happening outside the post station is not very real, and the courtyard wall blocks everything that should be blocked.

After a while, I saw Wu Jun hurrying over and saluting Chen Xiaoting: "My lord, there are people at the gate of the post station who claim to be a member of the military department, but there is no official letter to seal the letter, and they are stopped outside by the post officer!" ”

As soon as he heard the words "Ministry of War", Chen Xiaoting was shocked, could it be that Hu Weide had arrived?

It was precisely because of the word "military department" that Wu Jun would quickly come to report the situation, otherwise he would have led people to arrest those people a long time ago.

After straightening the official hat, Chen Xiaoting said coldly: "Let's go, go and see!" ”

At this time, Chen Xiaoting was full of doubts in his heart, if it was really Hu Weide who came, how could he not come up with something to prove his identity?

So is this person Hu Weide? If he picks up the wrong person, then he Chen Xiaoting can't bear the responsibility.

…………

At the gate of the post station, the two post officials were red-faced, and the post man himself was embarrassed.

Even more embarrassed than them were a few people standing outside the inn, their hair in a messy bun and their clothes even more torn.

But the momentum of these people is not weak at all, their mouths are like cannons, and the few people who are scared are embarrassed.

There were five people in total, and the leader was about thirty years old and seemed to be polite, but he didn't say anything from beginning to end.

The people who are theorizing with Yicheng are a few people standing in front, and when you listen to them, you can know that they have read books and speak in a way.

At this time, I only heard one of the young men say: "We are subordinate members of the military department, and our adults are the head of the Yongliang Qing Officials Division, you have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall, and dare to stop us outside!" ”

"Your little post is only the ninth grade, and the adults of my family are the seventh rank, are you guilty of the following?"

Hearing this, Yi Cheng could only say: "As long as you take out something that can prove your identity, please invite you in immediately, otherwise you will ......"

Otherwise, Yi Cheng didn't say the following words, but the meaning was obvious.

If it was in the past, even if these people couldn't get an official letter to seal the letter, they would let them go after asking a few more questions, after all, who would pretend to be an official if they were fine.

But now that Chen Xiaoting has a strict order, Yi Cheng doesn't dare to make his own opinions, although from the popularity of these people, he can infer that these people are from the government.

Hearing Yi Cheng's words, the young man who had just spoken immediately scolded: "Presumptuous...... How dare you threaten us? ”

Yi Cheng also heard a burst of fire, he had been on fire in the past two days, and at this time he said coldly: "The officials and subordinates are stationed in the post station to show the official letter, and the provisions of the Ming Law are clear, since you say that you are a member of your military department, don't you know?" ”

The young man was speechless when asked, and as a scribe of the Qing Officials Division, he certainly knew this.

Just as he was about to scold him back, he heard the middle-aged man behind him say, "Okay, since you can't live here, let's find an inn to live in!" ”

The young scribe hurriedly said: "But my lord, we still have to ...... with Jinyi here."

Hearing this, the middle-aged man said angrily: "Shut up, don't talk nonsense!" ”

The middle-aged man didn't speak, but he was just polite, but this opening was full of momentum, and even if he was dressed in tattered clothes, Yicheng felt threatened by his officials.

The young scribe didn't dare to say more, but another older scribe on the side said, "My lord, are we really leaving?" ”

Just as the middle-aged man was about to answer, he heard a voice from the post station: "Do you come if you want to come, and leave if you want?" ”

The middle-aged man who was ready to leave couldn't help but pass over at this time, and saw a large number of brocade guards coming out of the post station.

It was Wu Jun who spoke, and at this time he crossed the three of them and came to the middle-aged man.

But the middle-aged man ignored Wu Jun, but looked at the little flag officer who came out of the post station, and Chen Xiaoting was also staring at him at this time.

At this time, more than a dozen servants had surrounded the middle-aged man, and several subordinates gathered around him looked panicked at this time, but he was the only one who remained calm.

Chen Xiaoting walked forward with his hands behind his back, and behind him were Yang Yuexing and Wei Wuding, both of whom looked at the middle-aged man and his party with forced eyes.

"It is a big crime to pretend to be an official of the imperial court, and if you confess your guilt now, this official can be punished lightly!" Chen Xiaoting stopped and said.

At this time, the young scribe didn't dare to come out and take his head, Jinyiwei was fully armed, and it was not to ask for a quick catch when he went up to touch the moldy head.

Seeing Chen Xiaoting come out, the middle-aged man knew that this was the person he was waiting for, so he said: "This lord is joking, this official is Hu Weide, the director of the Yongliang Qing Officials Division of the Ministry of War, but he is not the fake person you said!" ”

Everything is right, and the time is right, Chen Xiaoting has already believed in the identity of this person.

But he still asked: "Since you say that you are the head of the military department, then please take out your official seal, official letter, and survey!" ”

Looking at the embarrassed appearance of Hu Weide and his party, Chen Xiaoting knew that it was impossible for them to take out these things, not that it was inconvenient to take them out.

Hearing this, Hu Weide said with a gloomy face: "When I was on the road at noon today, I was robbed by thieves, and these things such as official uniforms and official letters were robbed by thieves!" ”

This is a more reasonable explanation, and looking at the appearance of Hu Weide and his party, it does look like something has been robbed.

But he still asked: "The thief tried to kill you for money, since he robbed you of your money, why did he let you go?" Could it be that they are very kind? ”

This is indeed a suspicious point, the so-called cutting of grass to eradicate the roots, robbing the court officials is a big crime, since it is impossible to leave a living mouth.

But at this time, Hu Weide's face was even more ugly, and he said after a while: "Of the more than ten people in this official's party, only five of us escaped, and the others died under the knife of the bandits!" ”

Seeing Hu Weide's face was stunned, but Chen Xiaoting didn't have time to sympathize with him, he asked again: "The thieves are all fierce people, how did you escape?" ”

Chen Xiaoting was unrelenting, and Hu Weide himself hadn't spoken, but the scribe next to him said, "Why should you be aggressive? ”

Chen Xiaoting glanced at this person and didn't speak, but Yang Yuexing next to him understood what he meant, and immediately scolded: "Stop, adults speak, do you have the right to speak?" ”

Ignoring these people, Chen Xiaoting said to Hu Weide: "The matter is very important, if you can't come up with something to prove your identity, I can only take you to the Qing Officials Division to confirm your identity!" ”

In fact, Chen Xiaoting was just deceiving Hu Weide, of course he couldn't bring Hu Weide to the Qing Officials Division in Liangzhou, so everything would be delayed.

But if these people are fake, just relying on Chen Xiaoting's words, these people can be revealed.

Even at this time, Chen Xiaoting also made a gesture to the surrounding officers, and these people immediately narrowed the encirclement and put on a posture to ask for that person.

At this time, I only heard Hu Weide say coldly: "Let's ...... slowly"

The expressions of these people did not change much, and Chen Xiaoting basically confirmed their identities, but he still said, "What, you have to confess?" ”

Hu Weide was unmoved, but said: "I have something to prove my identity, I will show you if you come here!" ”

Chen Xiaoting hesitated, since it was something that could prove his identity, why didn't he take it out just now, and now he only showed it to himself.

Seeing that Chen Xiaoting didn't move, he only heard Hu Weide sneer, and then said excitedly: "What, dignified Jinyiwei, are you afraid that we will harm you?" ”
