Many versions of the dialogue between the Wei eunuch at the city gate and the county Ya Song catcher soon appeared.

No matter which version it is, there is only one core that is mentioned, that is, Eunuch Wei is determined to take revenge on the Tan family and take out his anger for his brother.

Things also developed quickly as rumored, on the day Eunuch Wei returned to the city, he rushed to the county government prison with a vote of people, regardless of the opposition of the county government, and took away the five members of the Tan family in the prison with his identity as a eunuch.

It is said that when the Wei eunuch questioned the legality of what he had done, he openly claimed that he was the law.

Many people heard this.

There are also many residents who have witnessed the removal of the Tan family.

According to these witnesses, the five members of the Tan family were brought out crying and grabbing the ground, and the old and young were all scared to death. And the people under Eunuch Wei were fierce and vicious, and they almost beat the Tan family to death on the street.

Rumors spread like a plague, but strangely, in these rumors, Eunuch Wei's reputation was not so bad.

This is thanks to the actions of the murderer Tan Qianniu, and the deeds of Widow Xu are already well known.

Most of the people look down on Tan Qianniu, the little uncle who did evil.

But on weekdays, people like Tan Qianniu can't be provoked by anyone. Even if this kind of person is bullied, he doesn't dare to speak up, and can only curse the other party in his stomach.

The birth of Eunuch Wei is a bit of a private visit to Bao Qingtian and the meaning of making decisions for the people.

Although it seems inappropriate to take people's families, for the people, they don't care, and they just want the bad guys' families to be punished.

Thousands of years of traditional thinking, eliminate evil.

This refers more to the relatives of the wicked.

Otherwise, the wicked will come out later.

In Caoduo Town, many villagers heard that the old couple of the Tan family asked the eunuch to be arrested, and they applauded happily.

Without it, the old couple relied on their youngest son to be a bit of a bully in the village.

Although it is just a trivial matter, it is disgusting enough for the villagers.

The more interesting things get to develop.

It's like in the play, the honest brother is bullied at home, and the younger brother named in the gold list returns to his hometown to punish the bullies.

The difference is that this time it's just a eunuch.

With the help of the people, the eunuchs are very popular.

In the whole county of Suning, many people are looking forward to having a commander and eunuch in their own house.

In this way, while being majestic, there is revenge and revenge.

Ordinary people's minds are probably like this, they don't dare to come out, they fantasize that one day a big man will fall from the sky, or they and their relatives will become big shots.

When I was bullied, I didn't dare to fight back, and when I slept at night, I always had to imagine in my mind about the situation when I was powerful.

………

As far as Liangchen is concerned, he doesn't care what the outside world says about this or what they think of him.

Even, he wished that the outside world would say that the worse he was, the better.

Because, the thing was originally the wind he instructed to release.

Liangchen brought the Tan family out of prison and locked them up in the courtyard of Widow Xu.

However, apart from being denied contact with the outside world, there has been no abuse.

There are some things that he can still tell.

The reason why the Tan family was taken was nothing more than to force Tan Qianniu to take the initiative to show up.

To put it bluntly, he is holding the Tan family hostage.

The methods are somewhat immoral and despicable, but they should be effective.

There is no way, Liangchen really doesn't have the energy and time to go all over the mountains to find people.

In this era, the means are limited, all aspects are very primitive, and many people may be in one county for the rest of their lives.

If there is a case, what the government can do is to investigate it first, and those who are stupid and don't know how to run, or who think they are clever and didn't run, can most of them be called out.

Eight out of ten people who ran ran away.

Unless it is a major case that is wanted all over the world, and the emperor cares about the progress of the case every now and then, otherwise those fugitives are really not likely to be caught.

In the early years, it was better, there was a road guidance system, and the fugitives could not live elsewhere, and they could always find out who it was by catching and torture. At present, with the high development of the economy, the flow of people has become frequent, and the road introduction system exists in name only. Fugitives are no longer difficult to move, and as a result, they are even more difficult to apprehend.

In order to solve this problem, the Criminal Department suggested in the early years of Wanli that the road guidance system be adjusted and the temporary residence system should be piloted in some places.

This temporary residence system is very similar to the temporary residence system of the previous life of the good ministers, and the purpose is to enable the local government to grasp the situation of the floating people in the territory. In this way, the presence of fugitives can be quickly ascertained.

Unfortunately, this system died before it could be promoted.

The reason was that there was strong opposition from the gentry.

The parties of Qi, Zhejiang, Donglin, and Lin opposed this system together.

Because this system will affect their interests.

In Nanzhili and some economically prosperous areas in Zhejiang, the phenomenon of Tibetans from large households is very prominent, and this phenomenon is caused by investment and tax avoidance.

In short, the gentry in some places did not want the government to know how many people there were, how many fields, how many tenants there were, and how many were "house slaves".

The restrictions in all aspects doomed that it would be impossible for Liangchen to find out Tan Qianniu in a short period of time, and he did not have much time, and he would have to return to Beijing at the end of March at the latest.

So, he had to do this.

He didn't believe that Tan Qianniu would abandon his wife and children, regardless of his parents' life or death.

For this reason, he needed Tan Qianniu to know what was going on, and there were rumors outside. Otherwise, with his identity and knowledge as Father-in-law Wei, how could he make this matter all over the city.

……..

For three days, Tan Qianniu has never shown up.

Liangchen is not in a hurry, there must always be a time.

It is estimated that Tan Qianniu will not be able to run far, and it is impossible not to inquire about the situation at home, so when he receives the news and thinks about it, there will be no results in seven or eight days.

On the fourth day, Cangzhou sent someone over.

The people from Cangzhou did not raise teachers to mobilize the public to blame the good ministers for the murder that occurred in the Sanyuan Temple, but thanked the good ministers for eliminating evil for the local area.

As Liangchen thought, after knowing what happened in Sanyuanguan, the two levels of Cangzhou officials unanimously decided that Wei Gonggong was a good peacemaker.

The land worth tens of thousands of taels is enough for Cangzhou's state and county officials to know what to do.

The person from Cangzhou tried his best to pat Wei's father-in-law's ass, and in the end, he presented a small box.

In the box is 10,000 taels of silver tickets, opened by the Cangzhou branch of Jingshi Datong Qianzhuang, which can be freely exchanged in Beizhili and Jingshi.

"Cangzhou has also contributed to this matter, if there is no cooperation with the same knowledge, how can our family wipe out those lawbreakers. Go back, our family will speak truthfully at the emperor's place. Liangchen said casually and ordered Xiao Tian to accept the box.

"Then thank you father-in-law!"

People from Cangzhou are also interested, he doesn't care what Eunuch Wei says, he only cares about whether Eunuch Wei takes the money or not.

"The villain retires!"

People from Cangzhou know how to observe words and feelings, so they will leave immediately.

Liangchen looked at the back of the person who came and smiled, the identity of a eunuch is really useful sometimes, at least the Tongzhi in Cangzhou is quite worried that he, the eunuch, will not speak ill of him in front of the emperor.

Such a big three-element view, doing evil for so many years, how can you not know about it in Cangzhou?

Not long after the people from Cangzhou left, Wang Zhubo came, and he came on behalf of Yan Liang of Zhixian County.

………

In the past few days, Yan Liang has not been stable, and he is worried every day, always afraid that the second child of the Wei family will affect him. But he didn't dare to come forward to stop Wei Laoer, so he asked Wang Zhu Bo to come over and euphemistically express his intention to release the Tan family as soon as possible.

"We know."

How could the good minister release people, he said casually, and asked Wang Zhubo as soon as he spoke: "Our family asked the county to crack down hard and punish a group of lawbreakers, why haven't we seen any action in the county for a long time." Could it be that it's useless for our family to talk? The tone was visibly unhappy.

"Father-in-law Wei, the county is cracking down, and more than ten people have been arrested..."Wang Zhubo hurriedly said.

But before he could finish speaking, Liangchen interrupted him and snorted: "More than ten people? Are you fooling our family? ”

"It's... Don't dare, don't dare ”

The king is embarrassed, but Yan Zhixian handed over this matter to him.

It's not that he didn't do it, and he has also called the torture room to arrest more than a dozen in the past few days, but listening to Wei Laoer's tone, he is obviously dissatisfied with such a few people. But it's not a matter of catching all the splashes in the market and the countryside, it's all a trivial matter of stealing chickens and dogs, forcing people to buy and sell, and they won't go to jail.

Besides, if you really arrest and sentence, you can't get along with the prosecutor's side.

It is said that the prefect of the family is broken and the county order is destroyed, but it can't really be done.

The Ming Dynasty has a law, and it is not something that can be judged by the county order.

Otherwise, what should be done according to the Yamen of the Inspectorate and the Criminal Department and Dali Temple.

"Okay, you go back and talk to the magistrate about this, do it or not, our family won't force you."

The good minister didn't want to talk to the king Bo Duo, so he issued an eviction order. The king was helpless, so he had to go back.

Liangchen went to see the eldest brother.

Liangqing is still recuperating from her injuries, and she has been injured for a hundred days, so she doesn't want to get out of bed in a short time.

At the beginning, Liangchen's leg was broken by the people of the Taifu Temple Horse Factory, and he also lay in bed for more than three months.

Because of the eldest brother's business, Liangchen still has no time to settle accounts with those guys in the horse factory.

You know, these people are the number one in his little book.

Liangchen went to see Liangqing when he came back, but Liangqing didn't want to talk to anyone, even if his father was on the side, he didn't say anything.

This time, Liangqing still lay there like a soulless person and didn't say a word.

His brother became like this, and Liangchen was quite sad.

"Your eldest brother has been like this for many days." Daddy frowned, "When the widow was seven years old, he cried a lot." ”

Ask what the world is like.

Liangchen sighed lightly, Widow Xu's death was indeed a big blow to the eldest brother, to a certain extent, Widow Xu can be said to be the eldest brother's first love.

It seems that the eldest brother now has to not only recuperate from external injuries, but also from internal injuries.

When Liangchen was about to leave, his father took him aside and asked him, "I heard from outsiders that you arrested the murderer's family?" ”

"Uh-huh." Liangchen nodded.

"You hurry up and let people go, they are all old people and children, our old Wei family doesn't want to bully the old and weak women and children." The father actually has a sense of justice and is very disgusted with the actions of his younger son.

Liangchen couldn't explain to his father, so he vaguely said to him: "Why don't you take your eldest brother home first." ”

Dad was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he felt that the boss couldn't go on like this, and maybe he could solve this knot when he got home.

"Yesterday?"

"I'm going to arrange a carriage, which is thicker, so that these big brothers won't be bumped on the road."

Liangchen said that he arranged for someone to do this, and his father thought of something and told him: "By the way, second brother, when you were away, your seventh uncle and grandfather looked for you several times. ”

"What is he looking for me for?" Liangchen had a headache when he heard that the seventh uncle and grandfather.

"I don't know, he doesn't tell me, it's amazing, and I don't know what to do." Dad also has a headache for this seventh uncle.

Liangchen said "oh" and said that he knew, and asked his father to take care of his eldest brother here and return to his hometown. Dad hesitated, and couldn't help but say again: "Second brother, what are you going to do yesterday at the end of the Wu family?" ”

"What did you do yesterday, what's the matter with me?"

Liangchen is not angry, it is not his fault that Pan Xiaolangjun does not marry his wife, is it possible that he should ask his dignified father-in-law Wei to go to his Pan family to bear the guilt, saying that I am wrong, shouldn't your son return to his hometown when he marries.

Ahh

"Dad, you don't care about other people's affairs."

Liangchen said that he was ready to go back, he has not been idle in the past few days, and has been working on recruiting troops. Specifically, he wrote a detailed plan for "cooperation with the local supervisor and going to the maritime affairs together", and prepared Tan Qianniu to discuss it with Yan Liang after this matter was finished.

After all, he is going to recruit troops this time, even if the Imperial Horse Supervisor gives the establishment and it is a legal recruitment, but he still needs the cooperation of Suning County. As soon as he came out of his father's place, Song Zhutou came in a hurry, and he brought good news to Father-in-law Wei - Tan Qianniu surrendered!

Liangchen hurriedly asked, "Where are the people?" ”

Song Zhutou said that it was at the gate of the city, and his people were watching.

"Take people to Widow Xu's yard." Liangchen waved his hand and turned over on his horse.

What to take that for?

Song Zhutou didn't understand, and the second child of the Wei family ran away. had no choice but to rush to the city gate and take Tan Qianniu to Widow Xu's courtyard.

"Get on your knees!"

When Tan Qianniu was brought to Liangchen, one of Song's catchers kicked him and scolded him to kneel.

Tan Qianniu endured the pain and refused to kneel, but asked loudly, "You are the Wei eunuch!" ”

"Our family is."

Liangchen looked at Tan Qianniu and found that this kid looked pretty good, but he was a photogenic person in his previous life.

"One person does things and one person is responsible, what I Tan Qianniu committed, why did you Eunuch Wei arrest my family!" Tan Qianniu looked unconvinced.

"If you don't arrest them, how can you come to see our house?" Liangchen sneered.

Tan Qianniu froze, his cheeks were a little distorted, and he wanted to say something, but he gritted his teeth and didn't say anything.

"Father-in-law, since the prisoner has been brought to justice, whether he will be released to prison or not, will be tried by the magistrate tomorrow." Song Zhutou saw that Tan Qianniu was silent, so he wanted to take people away.

I didn't want the second child of the Wei family to shake his head and say that he didn't need to, and then ordered someone to bring the Tan family out.

The Tan family, who had been locked up for a few days, were stunned when they saw Tan Qianniu.

Tan Qianniu was relieved to see that his family was fine, and turned his head to stare at the Wei eunuch, but saw a familiar person behind the Wei eunuch, and couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "Zhao Ming, why are you here?" ”

Zhao Ming first looked ashamed, then straightened his face, took a deep breath, walked up to Tan Qianniu, and whispered: "Brother Qianniu, I'm sorry." ”

"What's wrong?"

Tan Qianniu was stunned for a moment, and before he could think about it, someone pushed him behind him, and then Zhao Ming grabbed him and took him outside the room where Widow Xu lived before her death.

"Brother Qianniu, let's go in." Zhao Ming's voice was very low, and he didn't dare to face Tan Qianniu.

As soon as he entered the house, Tan Qianniu was stunned.

Inside the house, there is a coffin.

"Brother Qianniu, it's your sister-in-law in the coffin." Zhao Ming pulled Tan Qianniu to the coffin.

"She... Hasn't she been buried? Tan Qianniu's voice trembled a little, and there was a trace of regret in his heart.

"No, she...."Zhao Ming didn't know how to say, looked at Tan Qianniu in pain, and finally said sadly in the other party's stunned gaze: "She has been waiting for you." ”

"What?!"

Tan Qianniu was startled, the lid of the coffin beside him was suddenly opened, and before he could see the appearance of his sister-in-law in the coffin, Zhao Ming had already pushed him into the coffin.

Immediately, the coffin lid was closed by several people, Tan Qianniu's eyes could no longer see anything, and there was a sound of hammers and nails outside.

But he couldn't hear anything.

Because, he has lost all instinctive reactions to the outside world in horror.

It was hard underneath his body.

One of his hands pressed to the spot he used to knead.

There, it's cold, it's cold.
