There are many powerful people in Beijing, and it is often rumored that a certain family is bullying others, not because of these powerful people themselves, but because of the family members.

On the street just now, the one who dragged people into the dark alley and beat them up just because they were hit was the former second son of the Tang family, and the current young head of the Tang family, Tang Zhao.

Even if the Tang family is now in decline and in trouble, there is still no problem in bullying some flat-headed people.

After a while, Tang Zhao walked out of the alley.

As soon as he walked to the street, several servants came up, Tang Zhao looked at them, and said helplessly: "Follow me all day long, are you bothered......"

The catcher quickly said: "Unfortunately, I saw the young master oppressing the people, please come with us." ”

"Let's go, let's go......" Tang Zhao said impatiently: "It's another fine to finish the matter, but the tea in your Ping'an County is not bad, remember to make me a cup in a while......"

The catcher ignored Tang Zhao, looked at Xiao Gui, who had a blue nose and swollen face, and walked out of it, and said, "Please go to the county government with us as well......

"No, no......" Xiao Gui glanced at Tang Zhao, his face showed fear, and said: "I'm fine, I just accidentally fell in the alley, it's none of this son's business......"

Tang Zhao looked at the catcher, pulled the corners of his mouth, looked very shy, and said, "See, people don't say it's my business......

Na Kuai looked at Xiao Gui and said, "You don't have to be afraid, when you get to the county office, the county magistrate will make the decision for you......"

"It's really none of this son's business, I still have something to do, I'll go first......" Xiao Gui seemed to be worried about Tang Zhao's revenge, and before Na Zhao could speak again, he limped away.

Tang Zhao looked at the arrester of the Ping'an County Government and asked, "How is it, do you still want to go to the County Office?" ”

If the people don't raise officials and don't hold them accountable, the person who was beaten obviously doesn't want to provoke Tang Zhao, if he forcibly takes Tang Zhao back to the county office, it doesn't conform to the case-handling process at all, and he is likely to be caught by someone at that time.

Na Zhu's mind turned quickly, and finally arched his hand to Tang Zhao and said, "Disturb ......"

……

Xiao Gui walked through two streets before walking to the north district of Jingshi.

After passing through a few more small alleys, I finally came to a dilapidated courtyard.

A woman was holding a baby in her arms, and when she saw him limping, her nose and face were swollen, she hurriedly ran forward and said anxiously: "Master, what's wrong with you, you fought with someone, my mother said, don't fight bravely outside......

Xiao Gui pulled her into the courtyard, closed the courtyard door, and said in a low voice, "Enter the room and say." ”

The woman entered the room, put down the child, took Xiao Gui's hand, and asked, "What happened?" ”

Xiao Gui took out two large silver ingots from his arms, handed them to her, and said, "Put away these silvers." ”

Looking at the two fifty taels of silver ingots that Xiao Gui took out, the woman suddenly panicked, and said in a trembling voice: "Master, where did you steal this silver, hurry up and return it to others, stealing so much silver and being caught, it is to break your hands and feet......"

"Not stolen." Xiao Gui grinned and said, "Today, someone spent a hundred taels of silver to buy me a sentence, but I didn't expect that the words that came out of my Xiao Gui's mouth would be so valuable......"

The woman's face turned pale, and she said, "Master, you are dizzy, don't you know what you do, this money can't be collected, you hurry up and return it to others!" ”

Xiao Gui smiled and said, "If you accept this silver, you can't return it." ”

The woman's face became more anxious: "The ...... of the house"

Xiao Gui stretched out his hand and stopped her from continuing, his expression became serious, he looked at her, and said: "What I said next, you have to remember ...... clearly, if I am fine, of course it is best, if I have something, this one hundred taels of silver, you exchange it for scattered silver twice, when there are many people on the street, wear a cloak, don't let people know, Fu'er will not be able to be a jailer in the future, you spend some money, let him learn a craft, don't be as useless as his Lao Tzu......"

The woman wiped her tears and choked up: "Boss, without you, how can we live ...... mother?"

"Don't worry, I can't die, at most I'll be back in a few years after being in the army, we are from the Criminal Department, and we know these very well......" Xiao Gui squeezed out a smile on his face and said: "This hundred taels of silver, I can do a lot more than I can do, I can do without, I can't do without silver......"

He wiped his nose and continued: "Also, if you have money in the future, our mother's medicine, don't remember to break it, and buy you a beautiful dress and jewelry, follow me for so many years, I don't even have a decent piece of jewelry, I have suffered you......"

The woman threw herself into his arms and wept, "You are miserable......

……

Tang Ning sat in the study, looking at the letterhead in his hand.

There are his people at the four gates of the Tang family who are constantly watching day and night, and when the Tang family goes out, where they go, and what they do, they will be recorded and sent here every night.

"Tang Huai and Tang Qi didn't go out today, Tang Zhao went to the bookstore, bought a lot of books, was hit by a citizen on the way, ordered his subordinates to drag him to his subordinates and beat him......"

Peng Chen stood beside him and asked, "My lord, do you want to let the Ping'an County Ya go to the Tang Mansion to summon Tang Zhao again on the charge of oppressing the people?" ”

"No need." Tang Ning waved his hand, the affairs of the Tang family are progressing gradually, and at this point today, there is no need to use those methods at the beginning.

He thought of the previous messages and asked, "Tang Zhao likes to buy books these days?" ”

"It's been since a few months ago." Peng Chen said a little strangely: "He often goes to the bookstore to buy books, several times, he stays in the bookstore all day to read, he is extremely engrossed, it doesn't look like he is pretending, and in the past few months, he has not caused a single mess......

The former Tang Zhao was just the second ancestor of the Tang family, eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, and oppressing the people, this is what the second ancestor should do.

After Tang Jing's death, he was the young head of the Tang family, the only heir, and naturally there were some changes in his life.

Downing didn't know if he really found the joy of life in the book, or if he made it for others to see, but no matter what the reason, it couldn't explain why he suddenly became a lawless fool.

Tang Ning thought for a while and said, "Has the person he beat up today investigated?" ”

Peng Chen nodded and said, "Although he didn't dare to go to the county office, considering that he might still be useful in the future, the arrester of the Ping'an County government still secretly followed him and found his residence." ”

Tang Ning put down the letterhead in his hand and said, "Check him again." ”

……

Penal Department, Heavenly Prison.

Among the yamen, the status of the fast soap catcher is the lowest, and among the fast soap catchers, the jailer is the hardest, the dirtiest and most tiring work, and the status is also the lowest.

In the prison of the Criminal Department, the prisoners are not idle people, and the jailers cannot treat them as prisoners, and they have to be careful everywhere.

The situation in the court is changing, the party is constantly fighting, today's prisoners, maybe tomorrow can turn over, re-enter the court, there were jailers in the past to make things difficult for the prisoners in the prison, but not long after, the prisoner's party in the court gained power, rescued him from prison, and within two days, the prison of the criminal department was one less jailer.

There are countless precedents in the past, so it has become a habit for the prison guards to be careful with the prisoners.

Although the jailer has a low status, compared with catching fast, he has a lot of free time every day, and in the acre of three points of land in the prison, he plays cards every day and throws a few dice, and no one cares at all.

Several jailers sat at the front table, gambling in full swing, and the messenger of the canteen brought a few wooden barrels and said, "Deliver the food......

One of the jailers was lucky, waved his hand, and said, "Let it go, I'll go ...... in a while."

Xiao Gui picked up a bucket and said with a smile: "It just so happens that I'm also going to deliver food, why don't I deliver it for you?" ”

"That relationship is good...... the jailer patted Xiao Gui's chest and said, "If you win, please drink......"

Xiao Gui smiled, carried the bucket, and walked towards the depths of the cell.

He brought food to the prisoners along the way and went to a cell in the deepest part of the country.

Inside the cell was a one-armed old man, sitting cross-legged on the ground with his eyes closed.

Xiao Gui finished cooking, squatted on the ground, passed it through a small hole, and said in a low voice: "I killed you to assassinate the Tang family's evil species, and I don't know about the envoys......"

Inside the cell, the one-armed old man's eyes snapped open.

Xiao Gui didn't look at him again, finished delivering the meal, carried the empty bucket, and walked back along the same road.

When he walked back, at the front of the prison, the jailers no longer gambled on the sieve, and they all fell to their knees, looking at the person in front of them with trepidation.

Song Yi, the secretary of the Criminal Department, had a cold face, and he didn't look at them, but Xiao Gui.

Syllable!

The empty bucket in Xiao Gui's hand fell to the ground and slowly rolled to Song Yi's feet.

Rong Xiaorong said

I slept in the afternoon and woke up at eight o'clock......
