Shen Gui and Liu Banxian, who were full of snowflakes, had just had breakfast, and the sound of "going on" came from outside the door. Shen Gui opened the door and found that there was a strong man standing outside the door: this person was wearing official clothes, a full beard, and an iron chain hanging from his waist scarf. If you don't ask, if you catch your head early in the morning, and you come to the house with a chain around your waist to knock on the door, it is definitely not a good thing.

"Liu Banxian, you old liar, still eat? Think you'll be fine after cheating people? It's good now, the bare man has entered the kiln (the head catcher has entered the nest to catch the thief), and the horse is in front of the horse (hurry up)! ”

Ma Liubao, the head catcher who was on a morning business trip, smiled awkwardly when he heard Shen Gui's words, and shook his arm slightly:

"Young Master Shen, you misunderstood, I'm sorry, I'm here to invite you today!" After saying that, he shook the chain in his hand slightly, and said with an apologetic face: "My Ma family has received the great grace of the great shaman, but I can't do anything about it, so you have to take care of it." I Ma Liubao didn't dare to say the word 'take', but you can hang up this little chain anyway, and walk on the road to make me look good, even if you love me Ma Liubao, help me finish this trip. ”

Shen Gui understood that although he was polite, it was just the cliché of the people in the yamen fast class.

The little officials in the yamen are divided into three shifts. In terms of the form and style of handling the case, it is simply divided into two ways: civil and military:

Martial arts, rough techniques, low yield. The main purpose is to shout in front of the prisoners, and play back and forth with the iron chain official knife in his hand, and scare the prisoners and relatives with an official uniform and weapon, the purpose is nothing more than to think of a few taels of broken silver. The reason why I don't have a lot of appetite is because everyone who is frightened by the chain official knife is also ordinary people who have never seen the world, so naturally there is not much oil and water to fish.

The clerical office is as harmonious as Ma Liubao in front of him. Whether it is said on the lips or compared on the body, all of them are extremely polite. This method is usually used by high-ranking officials and dignitaries, or people with status such as local tyrants and squires. This passer-by himself is well-informed and well-traveled, and he can better understand the difficulties of errands. As long as you have a kind attitude and a good mouth when you are doing errands, you will generally not suffer; If people are more shrewd, they can always get a lot of "Xie Yi rules".

Shen Gui was a little stunned by Ma Liubao's cliché, and opened his mouth for a long time before pondering the taste:

"Catch me? Didn't you catch the second child of the Bai family? Could it be that just a day has passed, and Sun Baizhi's little bastard has been all gone? ”

Ma Liubao was also amused by his reaction, and then looked around, found that there was no one around, and whispered to Shen Gui:

"The great shaman Lin is worried that my Ma family has a great favor, so I won't say secret words in front of the Ming. Since I came with chains, it must have been a real fate. I'm afraid of the day of the ancestor worship ceremony. All the people present had gathered in the lobby of Fengjing Mansion at this time. As for our family guard, what is the purpose of such a big move, the villain can't say. But there is one thing that is very abnormal: we have been officials all our lives, and it is the first time that we have handled cases like this! ”

After speaking, Ma Liubao squeezed his eyes and straightened up, hung the iron chain around Shen Gui's neck, and shouted coldly: "Young Master Shen, let's go with me at the entrance of the yamen!" ”

Shen Gui was dragged out of the house by Ma Liubao in a daze. Before leaving, he glanced back at Liu Banxian not far away, only to see Liu Banxian's expression indifferent, and he waved his hand towards his side, and instantly felt all the worries in his heart, and he took the lead with a calm expression.

It was the beginning of the day, and the shops and vendors on Hezhong Street had just come out, and there were no customers yet. At this time, seeing Shen Gui struggling with an iron chain around his neck, followed by Ma Liubao, the head catcher at the entrance of the yamen, he couldn't help but gather in groups, stretching his neck, and looking lively.

And Dong Ping, the front hall manager of Huinan Qianzhuang Gate, immediately turned around and went up to the second floor with a gloomy face after seeing Shen Gui's face clearly. Similarly, all the rivers and lakes mixed in the crowd also turned around and left. For a while, the pedestrians on the street in the river were instantly reduced by half.

Shen Gui walked to the front of the yamen, looked up at the four gilded characters of 'Fengjing Mansion Ya', and said to Ma Liubao behind him: "It's all at the door of the yamen, just pick up this iron chain, it's dead." Shen Ye, if I really want to run, you won't be able to touch the corners of my clothes at all! ”

Ma Liubao hurriedly stepped forward and took off the chain that was being buckled, and said to Shen Gui with a smile on his face:

"Didn't I also rely on you to be the young master of the shamanic sect? There is no one who has been trained by the great shaman who does not feel sorry for his subordinates. ”

Shen Gui casually threw over an ingot, sneered and said:

"You don't need to buckle my hat, Shen Gui is Shen Gui, and it has nothing to do with shamanism and Zhongshan Wangfu. If you look at Master Wei, I will listen to him say a few words; If you don't like him, I'll walk away, and you won't have a place to take me. ”

Shen Gui said that, he no longer glanced at Ma Liubao, and walked into the Fengjing Mansion with his head held high.

Yin Wei An Heng of Fengjing Mansion, sitting neatly in the lobby of Fengjing Mansion, and the three classes of officials were neatly lined up on both sides. In addition to the people in the government office, there were also a few idle people standing above the lobby.

These miscellaneous people, such as Sun Baizhi, the second young master of Sun's Medical Hall, Xiao Fu, the head of the fishing industry, Hui Ma Li, the head of the third road in Youbei, and Yu Liang'an, the president of the mule and horse shop; Of course, there is also the representative of the tooth shop, the senior brother of Qi Hui - Huangshi Huang Zijian.

As soon as Wei Anheng saw these Jianghu people standing in the hall, he muttered a little in his heart. Although he knew that these people were all gathered by Shen Gui to appear below the altar, they could be regarded as Shen Gui's accomplices in the Bagh case. But despite their humble status, there are still a large number of people in the three roads of Youbei, who have to live on them. Although these people are in the same case as Shen Gui, they will definitely not be punished for the same crime. There is no other reason, if they are all put in prison, Fengjing City is afraid that there will be chaos.

Therefore, at the beginning of Wei Anheng's order, he used the same word as Sun Baizhi at the beginning. And the words passed on by the arresters only said that there was a case that they needed to listen to and testify. But I didn't expect these rivers and lakes to be reckless but not polite at all, standing on top of the majestic government hall and laughing at each other, and there were inevitably some foul words between the words, which made Wei Anheng, who was born a scholar, dizzy when he listened.

Just when Wei Anheng was on the verge of collapse, Ma Liubao's familiar voice came from outside the lobby: "Lord Yin of the Hui Mansion, the suspect Shen Gui is here." ”

This shout almost moved Wei Anheng to tears. He immediately grabbed the startling wood, slapped it on the table fiercely, and shouted as if venting:

"Ascension!"

The surrounding soap class stood bravely, and after receiving the order, they began to tap the water and fire sticks in their hands, making a crackling sound.

The people who followed Shen Gui and Ma Liubao to see the excitement were also outside the lobby at this time. A few people in the market heard the sound of water and fire sticks hitting the ground, and they cheered one after another.

Wei An Heng shook his hand and was shocked:

"Who's in the hall?"

Shen Gui looked at Wei Anheng, who was shaking his majesty, with a look of disdain:

"You don't even know who I am, why did you send someone to arrest me?"

Even if Lord Wei's ancestor was an official for generations, he really had never seen such a mixed person. As soon as he said a word, he was blocked by Shen Gui and trembled, and immediately raised the tone again and shouted:

"You are not presumptuous in the lobby! Left and right, go down to twenty boards first, and kill the arrogance of this son! ”

The two of them made eye contact with each other, and their hearts were full of joy. In the days when Shen Gui was in Fengjing, his reputation for fighting righteousness and squandering wealth had already spread. Usually eat, drink, dress, move, sit and lie down, although a little picky, but never in the price of the slightest care. The gold caves that went up to the South Market, and the vendors who set up stalls on the roadside, more or less, all got the reward from Young Master Shen.

Of course, he is also a cub selling Ye Tian and is not distressed. The money was not earned by himself, and he was very uncounted when he spent it.

Moreover, the work of the execution at the gate of the yamen is the fattest errand in the soap class. Of course, this is a punishment. It is also an extremely advanced craft, and most of this craft is a single transmission from father to son. It is said that at the beginning of the practice, it is usually covered with a layer of straw paper on top of the tender tofu. If you practice heavy hands, you need to break the tofu underneath, and the straw paper cannot be broken. With such a heavy technique, after only a few sticks, although the skin and flesh of the tortured person are not broken on the surface, the inside is already broken bones and tendons, and he will become a waste person for the rest of his life; If you get the benefit of the prisoner and want to secretly release water, you will practice to smash the straw paper covering the surface of the tofu, but the tofu will still be intact. In this way, the tortured person will be punished with a few sticks, and the blood will flow miserably, but at most it will be some skin injuries, and it will be intact in less than three days.

Once such a free method of punishment is practiced, as long as there is still a yamen on the Huayu Continent, then his family will not have to worry about eating and drinking.

The two officials in charge of the punishment walked in front of Shen Gui with water and fire sticks, squeezing their eyebrows. The older man snorted his chin at him:

"Hey, you understand?"

This clueless sentence is to ask Shen Gui if he has the meaning of breaking his wealth and avoiding disasters.

Shen Gui shook his head again and again after hearing this, and a thief smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:

"I don't understand!"
