Volume 1 Chapter 12 A Headache Case
Yang Cong's trip to Hao City was surprisingly smooth, he not only won Yu Dayou as he wished, but even Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan also went into the water and became the temporary "bodyguards" he hired.
Now he finally doesn't have to worry about the Longxi Chen clan using force with him, with these three fierce people, even if the Chen family sends dozens of pirates, it is useless.
In the afternoon of the same day, they went back to Quanzhou City together, and Yang Cong also specially purchased horses for them to facilitate their travel, and then he booked a house for the three of them in Wangjiang Tower, and invited them to stay and wait for Xu Jie's news together.
However, sometimes things in this world are not as good as they should be, Yu Dayou he won it smoothly, but there was a problem on Xu Jie's side, and that night, Shi Wenzhai and Shi Lizhai brothers brought news of Xu Jie.
Unfortunately, Xu Jie didn't have time to see him, at least not for the past few days.
This is not a prevarication, Xu Jie is really not available, because he has encountered a headache case in the past few days, and he has no time to take care of his business.
The ins and outs of this case Shi Wenzhai brothers also inquired clearly, the reason is very simple, that is, Zhangban Township in the west of Fucheng owed the Li brothers the silver to the local squire Ai Wannian, Ai Wannian wanted to collect their land to pay off the debt, the brothers were unwilling, and the two sides fought.
It is said that the two sides fought fiercely, injured no less than ten people in total, and almost killed people, Xu Jie's head was as big as a fight, and he didn't know what to do.
It is said that Xu Jie, a government office, is in charge of the punishment of a government, why would he have a headache for such an ordinary case, and directly ordered the government to arrest the two brothers and confiscate their land to the squire Ai Wannian, what is the headache?
What he has a headache for is the identity of these two brothers, because these two brothers are not ordinary people, they are from military households, their great-grandfather once served as the deputy Qianhu of Chongwu, and the land under their name is not the farmland under the jurisdiction of Quanzhou Prefecture, but the tuntian under the jurisdiction of Yongning Wei Chongwu.
This case is really a headache, Xu Jie didn't even dare to send a quick arrest to arrest the Li brothers, because the arrest of the government is just an ordinary young man, while the Li brothers are the military households of the Tun Guard, and they also have the help of the military households of the Chongwu Institute, if they really want to arrest people, it is estimated that the entire arrest of the entire government will be beaten back!
Of course, he didn't have no way, as long as he wrote to Yongningwei to command the yamen, Yongningwei would naturally send someone from the Zhenfu Division to assist in dealing with it.
In fact, all the guards of the Ming Dynasty basically have a Zhenfu Division, and the Zhenfu Division is mainly responsible for the internal criminal name of the guard, and the reason why the Jinyiwei Zhenfu Division is more famous is because they have two Zhenfu Divisions, of which the South Zhenfu Division is responsible for the criminal name of the guard, while the North Zhenfu Division is in charge of the edict.
This Yongning Wei is a David who has a large number of Ming Dynasty, and naturally there is also a calming division.
As soon as the people of Yongningwei Zhenfu Division came, these two brothers had to lie down even if they could fight again, because the people of Zhenfu Division were specially cleaned up by the guards to put it bluntly, and they were all selected from the elite of the guards, and they could fight very much, and these two brothers were definitely not opponents of others.
Of course, for this matter, it is impossible for Yongning Wei Zhenfu Si to slaughter these two brothers, at most, it is to beat the military stick, and then confiscate their tuntian, when the squire Ai Wannian's debt is not known, these two brothers will hate him to the bone is certain, because without land, they will have no way to live.
Xu Jie has always been gentle and sympathetic to the people's feelings, and he really can't do this kind of thing that forces people to death, so this case is so frozen.
After listening to the description of the Shi Wenzhai brothers, Yang Cong's brows suddenly furrowed, this matter is really troublesome, even if Xu Jie informs Yongningwei and asks Yongningwei Zhenfu Si to send someone to assist in dealing with it, it will take at least half a month to negotiate back and forth, that is to say, he will have to wait here for at least half a month.
Will Chen Wenjie wait for himself for half a month?
Obviously not, this guy looks like an arrogant and impatient master, if he doesn't go back for a few days, he doesn't know what the whole thing is.
What should I do, don't you ask Xu Jie for help, just rely on Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan to be tough with this guy?
This will definitely not work, if a few hereditary hundred households can clean them up, the Longxi Chen family has long been cleaned up, and it is impossible to stand to this day.
What to do?
At this time, Yang Cong had a little headache, and after sending away the Shi Wenzhai brothers and Xue Nantang, he was still frowning and sat there silently.
He frowned and pondered for a while, only then did he realize that Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng, and Tang Kekuan were all sitting on the side to accompany him to worry.
He hurriedly got up and said, "Brother Zhifu, Brother Changsheng, Brother Fanguo, it's not too early at this time, why don't you go back and rest first, Lord Xu's affairs, we'll figure out a way tomorrow." ”
When Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan heard this, they got up and nodded, and went back to rest, but Yu Dayou suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Qingfeng, I'm afraid it's difficult for the Li brothers to be good in this matter." ”
When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised: "Brother Zhifu, do you know this Li brother?" ”
Yu Dayou continued to shake his head and sighed: "I don't know them, but I do know their cousin, and I also learned stick techniques from his old man." ”
Before Yang Cong could speak, Deng Cheng was surprised: "Brother Zhifu, you can't be talking about Master Li Gongliangqin, right?" ”
Li Liangqin?
Is it famous?
Yang Cong was suddenly confused, he hadn't heard of this person, he couldn't help but be curious: "Who is Master Li Gongliangqin?" ”
At this time, Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan sat back again, as soon as he said this, the three of them were stunned, and finally Yu Dayou spoke: "Master Li Gongliangqin is a famous master in Quanzhou Mansion, and the Li family in Quanzhou is also a famous martial arts family. ”
It turned out to be a master, Yang Cong didn't practice martial arts, so naturally he didn't know very well, he had a deep impression of Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan He didn't have much impression, how could he know what Li Liangqin was, and he had never heard of Quanzhou Li's family at all.
He couldn't help but ask, "Is this Li brother also a famous master?" ”
Yu Dayou shook his head and said: "That's not it, I just heard Master Li mention them, these two brothers are not easy, their father was seriously ill when they were very young, and the family is supported by their mother alone, and later, their mother also fell ill due to overwork, and the two brothers owed a lot of debt before they grew up." Most of the debts of their family were owed by their parents when they were sick, and now that their parents have died, and Ai Wannian wants to take their land to pay off the debts, they are naturally unwilling. ”
It turned out that this was the case, when I first heard what the Shi Wenzhai brothers said, Yang Cong thought that the Li brothers were **, and after a long time, they did not lose their family property because of eating, drinking, prostitution, gambling or idleness, but because their parents were seriously ill one after another, so they owed huge debts.
What made him even more unexpected was that Yu Dayou actually knew the cousin of the Li brothers, this matter didn't seem to be so troublesome, and he might be able to help Xu Jie close the case.
This is a good opportunity, if he can help Xu Jie close such a troublesome case, Xu Jie will be a little grateful to himself, and it will be much easier to talk when the time comes.
He thought for a while, and then asked, "Brother Zhifu, where is Master Li Gongliangqin now, can you invite him to move the old man?" ”
Yu Dayou said confidently: "Of course you can, his old man is teaching the stick method near the Thousand Hands Rock in Qingyuan Mountain at this time, and it is more than ten miles away from here." ”
When Yang Cong heard this, he nodded slowly and said, "Okay, tomorrow we will go and invite his old man out of the mountain." ”
