In the third year of Yonghui (652 AD), August 16, Shen Shi.

Wu Kang and Cui Jiuniang went shopping on the street on their first date, and by the way, they dealt with the incident of ruffians blackmailing merchants, and Wu Kang used this to achieve two purposes, one is to throw an olive branch to the merchants, and the other is to please the little lady.

He really wanted to marry this daughter of the Cui family and become the son-in-law of Cui Yixuan, the assassin of Wuzhou. However, it is very difficult, the five surnamed women are basically marriage tools, even if Cui Yixuan favors Jiuniang again, he will not make a hasty decision when it comes to marriage. The current contact between the two, he turned a blind eye, presumably waiting to see what happened, the old fox has never seen a rabbit or a hawk.

The two walked side by side, walking in the nameless alley, with Jiang Erniu and Zhou Hao in front of them, escorting the unlucky ruffian. Wu Kang had a whimsical idea to co-opt this gang of ruffians and become the first batch of health and environmental law enforcers.

Jiuniang was in a good mood, chattering all the way, and being grateful for her chivalrous deeds, she was indeed relaxed. However, she always asked strange questions, which left Wu Kang speechless. For example, is there a sequel to the Legend of the White Snake, why did Jin Long Xiangrui hurt her fifth brother, why didn't you run away at that time, etc.

In the end, I finally asked the normal ones, why when arresting the prisoners, let them lie on the ground with their heads in their hands, and if they refuse to cooperate, how do you deal with it?

Wu Kang didn't answer directly, and asked Jiang Erniu to recite the second article of the "Code of Bad People", and Erniu recited aloud: "The second article of the Code of Bad People, no matter when, protect your own safety first." Only by protecting yourself can you better protect others! ”

Wu Kang looked at the little girl who wrung his eyebrows and pondered, and said with a smile: "Doesn't it feel like it sounds ridiculous at first glance, but it makes sense when you taste it carefully?" If you can't protect yourself, how can you protect others? Everything we do is done for our own safety. If the prisoner does not cooperate, it is simpler, and the head will fall to the ground directly! ”

Cui Jiuniang pondered for a long time, looked at Wu Kang and said: "This is not appropriate, I have read "Yonghui Law", when bad people chase fugitives, if the fugitives resist arrest empty-handed, you can't harm them, otherwise they will be punished." Only if the fugitive resists arrest with a weapon, the bad guy can kill him as he sees fit! ”

Wu Kang was slightly stunned when he heard this, and he wondered very much, didn't the little lady embroider at home, and even read the legend of the White Snake, how could she read the boring "Yonghui Law"?

Suppress the thoughts in your heart and say the words that have been prepared a long time ago: "We act reasonably and legally, and people's hands are weapons in themselves, and there are more people who are killed by fists and strangled by their hands." So it seems to me that every fugitive is armed with a weapon. Even if this lawsuit reaches Chang'an, I'm not afraid, hehe! ”

Jiuniang glanced at him fiercely, muttered a sentence of "strong words", and said after a while: "Erlang, why don't I go and ask yes yes to change you on an errand?" Bad people are too dangerous, it's okay to meet a small thief, if it's a vicious big thief... Besides, bad people have a bad reputation, and the word 'bad' itself is ironic. ”

Wu Kang smiled without saying a word, clasped the back of his head with both hands, raised his head slightly and said: "The mouth grows on others, I can't control what they like to say." In fact, in my opinion, bad people are the backbone of maintaining law and order, and they are the pioneers in ensuring that the people live and work in peace and contentment. As for fame... Jiuniang will wait and see, in less than two years, the bad guys will have a makeover! ”

Cui Jiuniang deliberately slowed down, lowered her voice and said, "Erlang, notoriety comes easily, and when notoriety goes, it's like a thread." In fact, as you know, bad people have a bad reputation, and in the final analysis, they are treated harshly by the government. If you want to get rid of the root of the disease, don't talk about you, yes yes can't do it! ”

"Jiu Niang is right, it is impossible to raise the salary with one hair, so you can only find another way", Wu Kang praised her with his right hand, squeezed his eyebrows at her, and lowered his voice and said: "Jiu Niang has the potential to become, a virtuous helper!" ”

"Hate", Cui Jiuniang blushed, don't look at her, and said after a while: "The bad person code is drawn up by you, tell the other terms, I am familiar with "Zhenguan Law" and "Yonghui Law", and help you check which one is different from Tang Law!" ”

Wu Kang couldn't help but blush, and said, "That... I don't read much, so I'll only make two for the time being. First, study hard and make progress every day..."

The person in front stopped, and the two ended their conversation and looked at the vermilion courtyard gate. Very tall, very big, and dense door nails, it seems that the family is well-off.

The ruffian called the door several times, but received no response. Jiang Erniu stepped forward and knocked on the door, more than a dozen times in a row, but still didn't respond, smacked the horizontal knife out of the sheath, turned around and scolded the ruffian: "Are you playing tricks with this Tianshe slave, is this your lair, isn't it fast to bully a certain knife?" ”

"Don't dare, don't dare", the ruffian broke out in a cold sweat, and explained with a smile: "This is Liu Dalang's family, it was agreed yesterday, and today he is playing money and drinking at his house." It's because the slave has no money that he goes to the cloth to ask... Asking for money. We meet every month and they're definitely there! ”

Wu Kang sensed that something was wrong, and he knew the virtue of a ruffian, no matter gambling money, eating or drinking, the noisy one could lift the roof of the house. Raising his hand to signal them to be quiet, they held their breath and listened softly, but there was no sound in the courtyard. Suddenly smelled a faint smell of wine, glanced at the high wall, and glanced at Zhou Hao.

Zhou Hao understood, took a few steps back to speed up the run, flew up on tiptoe, clasped his hands on the eaves of the wall, kicked the wall with his feet, and slowly climbed up. When his head crossed the eaves of the wall, he suddenly snorted, jumped off the wall and pulled out the horizontal knife in his waist, and hurriedly shouted: "The yard is full of dead people, and another one is drinking!" ”

Without waiting for Wu Kang's instructions, Jiang Erniu was full of strength and kicked on the door. The door was not inserted, and the left half of the door was wide open, and it turned out that there was blood everywhere. The ruffian was quite righteous, and rushed over with a roar, and stopped abruptly in an instant.

Zhou Hao and Jiang Daniu took the lead, and Wu Kang also showed his blade and protected Jiuniang behind him. Rushed into the gate a few steps later, had to stop, the corpses were scattered all over the place, large and small patches of blood, and there was no place to put your feet.

On the opposite side was a big man, standing like a poplar tree, holding a horizontal knife with blood on it. The height is between Wu Kang and Wu Kang, the fierce and the two cows are half a catty and eight taels, with a Chinese face, big eyes, a lion nose and a wide mouth, and high and convex temples. He wears a red rope around his neck and wears more than a dozen beast teeth of different sizes.

The ruffian stood in the middle, and Zhou and Jiang stood behind, clenching the horizontal knife and preparing to attack, but they didn't dare to act rashly. The two sides confronted each other, and the ruffian's head suddenly gurgled down, and a bloody arrow spurted out, like a fountain of rage. The headless body fell forward, staining the ground with a crimson map.

Cui Jiuniang covered her mouth in fright, and Wu Kang protected her behind her. Zhou and Jiang suddenly changed color, retreated in the blink of an eye, and protected him in the middle, and Erniu lowered his voice and said, "Wu Shuai quickly take Cui Niangzi away, and the two of us are behind." This person is very dangerous, the three of us are tied together, and we are not his opponents! ”

Wu Kang couldn't help but smile bitterly, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave! looked at the murderous strong man, looked at the corpses that were all over the place, and ordered Zhou Haoming: "In a major homicide case, bad people must be interrogated, and escaping is dereliction of duty." Go and close the door... Execute the command! ”

Zhou Hao cried with a sad face and carefully closed the courtyard door. The strong man's eyes were full of contempt, he turned around with a bloody knife, walked around a low couch, and sat cross-legged at the face gate. Put the blood knife on his side, pick up the wine jar and fill the wine bowl, raise his head and drink it all, grab the leg of mutton on the couch and devour it.

Wu Kang glanced at the half-catty wine bowl, and then at the strange low couch, goosebumps crawled all over his body in an instant, and his hairy porcupines stood up. Four hideous dead faces, propping up a wooden plank, and constructing a simple low couch, I have to say that it is quite creative.

Seeing that the stalemate is not a way, we must find a way to open the situation, meditate for a few minutes, and turn my head to look at Cui Jiuniang. In addition to his nervous face, he didn't have any other gaffes, I don't know if he was heartless at all because of his good psychological quality. At the moment, he was a little relieved, and instructed Zhou and Jiang: "You protect Jiuniang, I will go back!" ”

As soon as he took a step, his sleeve was grabbed, and he didn't have to look back to know that it must be Cui Jiuniang. Wu Kang patted the soft water a few times, then rubbed the oil openly, and gently stroked it from his sleeve. Staring at the ground, he stepped past corpses and blood and slowly came to the low couch.

After a moment of silence, he turned his head to find that there were blood stains and messy footprints at the door of the wing, and he frowned and walked to the wing. There were many low couches in the room, one of which was without a couch board, and there were broken porcelain pieces everywhere, messy wine and food, and two corpses lying on the ground.

It's all headless corpses, all of them killed with a single sword... What a powerful knife technique, fast and accurate, one blow will kill, Erniu is right, the three of them join forces and give it in vain! Looking at the situation, this should be the first scene, the ruffian was beheaded two people first, and under the hasty escape, he was all killed in the courtyard.

On the low couch next to the corpse, there was a complete big name, Wu Kang walked over and found that there was still wine in the bowl, but the color was abnormal, and it seemed that it was spraying blood. Bent down and pour out the wine in the bowl, leave the side room with the bowl, sit opposite the strong man, pick up the wine jar and fill it for himself, pick up the bowl and say: "One person eats stuffy wine, and two people eat fine wine." ”

The big man glanced at him disdainfully, picked up the bowl and touched it with him, raised his head and drank it all, the mouth of the bowl shaking downward. Wu Kang did the same, drank it dry in one go, and also turned the bowl downward, indicating that there was no omission. The big man laughed and picked up the wine jar to fill it again.

Five bowls of belly in a row, all of them do not grow out of breath and do not change color. Dahan poured the wine bowl again, but did not serve the bowl again, but grabbed the bloody knife on the side of his leg, raised it high above his head. Cui Jiuniang's frightened screams continued, and Zhou and Jiang rushed over.

Wu Kang hurriedly stretched his left arm back, and his left hand swung quickly, signaling the two to stop. The big man sneered, his hand raised the knife, and the roast leg of lamb on the couch was divided into two. Wu Kang picked up half of it, looked at the blood stains on the broken leg of mutton, he was so disgusting that he couldn't get out of his mouth, he turned the leg of mutton with his wrist, and bit the bloodless side, which caused the big man to laugh again.

swallowed the meat in his mouth, put down the leg of mutton and looked at the big man: "I am a bad handsome man in Wuzhou, you can call me a military handsome." Ben Shuai has always believed that there is a cause for any criminal case. Brother Tai can treat me as a gust of wind, as a floating cloud in the sky, and tell me your story! ”

Dahan put the knife on his lap again, was silent for more than a minute, and finally sighed lightly and said: "I am a hunter in Linyang Mountain in the south of the city, and his family lives in Beishan Tianzhuangtai, and the people in the village call me Lin Pinglang. The day before yesterday, together with all the hunters, I hunted the big guy by traps, and I got two tiger cubs with a white forehead..."

When Wu Kang heard the "tiger cub", he immediately smiled, and couldn't help but think of the small videos he often watched on his mobile phone in later generations, and the fluffy little brain tiger was cute. I have also seen many foreign rich people who raise tigers as pets, so I can't wait to say: "What did you do with the tiger cubs, are they still alive?" If I'm still alive, I'll buy them all, two ten-dollar dollars, how about it? ”

Lin Pinglang couldn't help but be stunned, and said incredulously: "I've heard of buying tiger skins and tiger bones, but I haven't heard of buying live tigers." The tiger is the king of beasts, the first beast in the world, and can be eaten by bears and blind people and wild pigs. All the hunters in our village went out, and five of them were injured... I take the liberty to ask, what does Wu Shuai do when he buys tiger cubs? ”

Just as he was about to answer, Cui Jiuniang's voice sounded behind him: What does Erlang want the tiger cub to do? It's a man-eating beast, if you want tiger skins and tiger bones, let's just buy them, and you can buy them in Wuzhou City!

Wu Kang was a little confused, looking at Cui Jiu standing behind him, tears almost fell. What's wrong with this person, dare to make up for any excitement! Blinking again and again to signal her to leave quickly, Cui Jiu pouted first, and then turned his face, making him want to cry without tears. His eyes glared at Zhou Hao and Jiang Erniu fiercely, and the two of them also turned their heads in disagreement.

Wu Kanglian took a deep breath, looked at the big man and said with a smile: "I don't buy tiger cubs for tiger skin and tiger bones, I want to build a cage to raise them." To tell you the truth, my family runs a chicken farm, and those weasels will definitely smell and steal in the future. The dog can't catch the weasel, so raise two tigers to take care of the house! ”

Wu Kang was quite interested, and said with a smile: "There is another benefit, don't worry about being thief, the roar of the tiger can scare the thief to him." That is, in Datang, in my hometown, I can't even think that I will eat in prison! ”

Everyone is confused, they have heard of raising chickens and cattle, but they have never heard of raising tigers. Lin Pinglang smiled heroically, drank the wine in the bowl and said, "The tiger cub is still alive, and it is in a certain home." Without the protection of tigresses, they cannot survive. I wanted to kill them, but the little sister refused to let them live, desperately protecting the tiger cubs, probably treating them as cats..."

Lin Pinglang smiled bitterly, shook his head and continued: "The adults went early, and I relied on my mother and little sister for my life, and I didn't want her to be sad. She milked the goats and fed them every day, and the little lambs were hungry and worried about it! If Wu Shuai wants it, I won't take a penny. There is a family surnamed Lin in the village, so it's easy to inquire! ”

"Ben Shuai has always been a man of his word, saying that ten runs is ten runs", he turned his head as he spoke, glanced at Zhou Hao, who was flexible, and ordered loudly: "Go to my house to find Wu Yuan, let him bring the money to the Grange Terrace, and be sure to bring the tiger cub over!" ”

Zhou Hao listened to the tone of "bring it over", his mind was in a flash, and he nodded heavily and turned to leave. This is the Ming repair plank road to secretly Chen Cang, clearly notify the purchase of tiger cubs, and secretly go to the yamen to move the rescuers. If they leave for no reason, and Lin Pinglang suddenly runs away, several of them will be in danger.

Lin Pinglang glanced at him meaningfully, and did not poke the trick, and then told his story: "I peeled the tiger skin and removed the tiger bones with the hunters, and took it to Wuzhou City to sell it. The tiger skin has a lot of holes, and I ask for 300 yuan. There was a buyer who was very generous and didn't bargain, so he and I went home with him to get the money. After the money and goods were cleared, he bought the tiger bones for 30 yuan, and gave a few more yuan, all of which were put into a big money bag. ”

Speaking of this, he glanced at the corpse on the ground, the corners of his mouth hooked up a trace of contempt, and continued: "The transaction is completed and I am about to go home, and before I get out of the alley, the money bag of a man in front of me fell to the ground, and I reminded him loudly, but he didn't seem to hear it. At that time, he mistakenly thought that he had a problem with his ears, so he picked up the money bag and chased it back to its original owner. Instead of taking the money bag, he would..."

Wu Kang saw that his face was full of anger, his chest was still trembling slightly, he twisted his eyebrows and pondered for a moment, his mouth hooked, and he smiled: "Since Brother Tai has fire in his heart, the next words will be done for him." If it is not as expected, the person who loses the money bag will not only be grateful to you, but will bite back and slander you as a thief! ”

Looking at the dumbfounded Lin Langping, Wu Kang smiled and said: "This scam can be described as seamless, from the moment you go home with the buyer, you have already fallen into the trap. Giving that extra money is your first bad luck, tell me about the situation at that time. ”

Lin Langping's eyes widened, his face was full of disbelief, he thought about it carefully for a moment, frowned and said: "At that time, I was tying a money bag, and the buyer was very enthusiastic to give a few more words, saying that it was worth the sack containing tiger skins and the hemp rope that tied tiger bones. I wasn't going to ask for it, but he forcibly opened the bag and threw the money in. ”

Wu Kang secretly said that this was indeed the case, and continued to speak: "This is an excuse, the purpose is to let you not know the number of copper coins in the bag." You're definitely not going to count the money again in front of him! This is the first step of the scam to get away with it. ”

"Next step two", Wu Kang tapped his right hand on the table and continued: "When you leave the buyer's house, the second scammer deliberately dropped the money bag. Whatever your purpose, as long as you pick up the money bag, he will slander you for stealing. This is the second plan, making something out of nothing! Dare to ask Brother Tai, were there onlookers at that time, did they all accuse you? ”

Lin Langping nodded, hummed and mocked: "Not only accuse, but also shout and kill." My mouth was dry when I explained, but they still didn't believe it, and the owner didn't take the money bag, so they dragged me to see the official. With nothing to do, I had no choice but to ask the army to administer justice. Unfortunately, it backfired..."

"You lost the lawsuit, and Ben Shuai expected it. Not only that, but in the middle of the lawsuit, there will be branches", Wu Kang was full of confidence and guessed the next routine: "The person who buys the tiger skin will go to the yamen to complain, and he will also slander you as a thief." In fact, the buyer, the owner, and the onlookers are a group. They chose secluded alleys so that you don't have any documents. ”

Lin Langping smiled bitterly again and again, sighed and said, "What the big man said is right!" All my justifications were defeated by the extra pennies. The buyer said that the money bag had 236 words, but I couldn't say it. ”

"This is also the reason why it is seamless", Wu Kang took over and said: "You have a second unlucky point, which is the money bag on your body. One buyer, one loser, plus your own, a total of three. Normally, people put money in one bag, not into several. You don't have human evidence, and the physical evidence is not good for you, if Brother Tai is Zheng Joining, how will the case be judged? ”
