Autumn goes to spring, time turns, and time unconsciously comes to Shaoxing for twenty-four years.

In the shade of barren grass, a convoy full of goods is hurrying non-stop, the "poof" of the pulling horse is snorting, and the guys escorted by the car are also sweating on their foreheads and their steps are heavy.

"Brothers, work harder, and you'll be there soon. After the goods were delivered, I took my brothers into the city to drink wine and eat meat! ”

The leader was not very old, about thirty or forty, with rough and dark skin, obviously running around all the year round, exposed to the wind and sun, not for one or two years, but not for three or five years.

"Third master, after a while, do you really invite the brothers into the city to eat meat and drink?"

The guys immediately cheered up and looked towards where the third master was.

"Is that still fake? When did I talk to my brothers, and after handing over the goods, I went into the city. After more than ten days of hard work, it is the last part of the road, and it is best to go to the beach to hand over the goods before the sun sets. ”

After the third master finished speaking, he looked up and looked ahead, not far away, and he could arrive at the agreed delivery location in one or two hours.

"Third master, there is an official and military inspection ahead!"

The third master, who was fantasizing about how to enter the city to eat and drink after the delivery, was suddenly startled by the loud report of the guy in front of him.

"How many?"

"It's estimated that there are dozens or hundreds! It's quite a lot, blocking the whole road. ”

"Third master, are the officers and soldiers here to check on us?"

As soon as they heard that there were hundreds of officers and soldiers in front of them, the guys hurriedly reined in the reins in panic, quickly stopped the carriage in place, and turned their heads to look at the third master.

"Don't panic, we haven't walked this road once or twice, when did the officers and soldiers stop us. I'll go up and take a look, you stay here and don't move. ”

The third master said that, and took two entourage men and walked quickly forward.

From a distance, I saw a team of officers and soldiers more than a dozen zhang away blocking the two-zhang wide road tightly, there was no possibility of passage at all, looking at this posture, the third master couldn't help but be surprised, this team of officers and soldiers was probably coming at them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the villain is in a hurry, I don't know if I can let him go?"

The third master approached the two feet of the officers and soldiers blocking the road, quietly scanned the crowd, and did not find any familiar faces inside, so he could only step forward to inquire about it.

"Yes, the road, it's meant to be walked by people, and we can't just block the road, just go if you want to."

A man standing in the middle of the officers and soldiers responded in a loud voice, smiling.

When the third master saw that Du Du looked like this, his heart was even more bottomless, the other party asked him to go, but he couldn't just walk over the two-foot-wide roadside, he passed, what about the carriage full of goods behind?

"The villain and Ye Dutou are friends, I don't know what this military master is called?"

Seeing that although the other party hadn't made any moves, the third master could guess what they would do next, so he immediately brought out one person to see if the other party could give face and not trouble them.

Who knew that the head of the capital said: "Ye Dutou? He had been beaten a short time ago and was still lying at home. Why, you know him well and have a good relationship? ”

The third master's face suddenly changed greatly, and he hurriedly said: "No, no, the villain has only met him once, and he is not familiar with him at all!" ”

"It's not up to you to decide whether you're familiar or not."

The smile on Nadutou's face fell, and he immediately waved his hand and ordered: "Take them all down to Lao Tzu and take them all back!" ”

"Yes!"

When the sergeant received the order, he scattered his legs and ran towards the convoy, which was still parked in the distance.

"Master Jun, villain, this is normal trade, you can't detain our goods!"

The officials and soldiers are in front, even if the third master has a lot of kung fu, he doesn't dare to confront the officials and soldiers here, otherwise he is asking for trouble, but he can't let the other party pull their goods away, otherwise he won't be able to deliver on time, and if he delays the delivery time, it will cause more trouble.

"It's not up to you to decide whether it's normal trade or not. I know what private dealings you have with Ye Dutou, so it's better to go back with us. ”

There was no one else around him, and a smile appeared on his face again.

When the third master heard the other party say this, he knew that this matter was difficult, and when he saw that there was no one around the other party, he quickly approached him.

"Master Jun, you make a price, let's make friends."

Hearing that the other party really whispered a quotation, Nadu immediately stretched out a finger and smiled without saying a word.

The third master's eyes jumped, and the other party wanted too much, but in order to deliver the goods in time today, he couldn't manage so much, so he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, a hundred times is a hundred times, I will make a friend with the military master today." I don't know what the military master is called, so I will invite the military master to eat and drink another day. ”

After speaking, he reached into his arms and was about to take out the money, but he was surprised by the other party's words.

"A hundred times called Hanako? A thousand, one less penny, don't think about leaving today. ”

The smile on Nadutou's face disappeared in an instant, and his face was solemn.

"Master Jun, you are too big a lion, give the master a hundred times because we met for the first time, the first time we dealt with each other, the master gave the villain some face, and the villain invited the master and his brothers to have a drink. A thousand times, the villain can't take it out, and he can't be the master. ”

The third master's eyes narrowed, his face turned cold, he was still begging for someone just now, and his appearance changed in an instant.

"What kind of wine can you invite your brothers to drink? A thousand, not a single penny. If you can't call the shots, then find someone who can. ”

"The one who can call the shots is hundreds of miles away, if the military master is accommodating today, he may be grateful in the future, if you must find trouble today, you had better ask Ye Dutou before making a decision."

"Are you threatening me?"

"The villain doesn't dare."

"Brothers, take them all! If there is disobedience, shoot and kill! ”

Nadu glanced at the third master, and gave an order to the officers surrounding the convoy in a provocative voice.

"The military master really doesn't give face, does he want to get along with us?"

The corners of the third master's eyes twitched a few times, trying his best to suppress the urge to make a move.

"Lao Tzu is an officer, you are a thief, why should you give face!"

Nadu spat on the ground, and then shouted again: "Even the people and goods, bring them all back to the city!" ”

"The military master doesn't give face, he doesn't make money if he has money, and the villain is helpless."

The third master sighed, the other party is an official soldier, and he can't deliver the goods on time this time, and the responsibility should not be him.

"Don't move, follow the military master!"

The third master turned around and gave an order to the frightened group of guys next to the convoy, for fear that they would do something stupid because they were afraid.

The convoy loaded with goods, under the supervision of the officers and soldiers, continued along the dirt road between the barren grasses for less than two miles, and then turned around at a three-way intersection and walked towards the city.

Putian County, the Xinghua Military Administration, was sentenced to the Yamen.

"My lord, Li Dutou, the inspection department, found a suspicious convoy during the inspection in the south of the city, and found that their cars were loaded with precious medicinal materials, and then found out that this batch of medicinal materials did not have a customs clearance certificate, they secretly transported the medicinal materials to Xinghua from elsewhere, and from the itinerary, they were ready to transport them to the seaside. Due to the huge number of medicinal materials in this batch, after deducting people and medicinal materials, it is inconvenient for the Inspection Department to make the decision. ”

Yang Congyi, who had been idle for most of the day in the Yamen, was about to let the Yamen go home, when suddenly an errand came to report.

"The inspection department captured, how to deal with it, what do you want me to do?"

The smuggled goods should be confiscated, and those who participated should be sentenced will be punished, so what else is there to do and not be in charge, Yang Congyi doesn't want to pay attention to this kind of thing at all, obviously they can call the shots, but they have to be pushed to the general judgment yamen, as if they have no authority, they are relaxed, Yang Congyi has a lot of things to do, and he has done a lot, and he has a sense of dependence.

"My lord, the people from the Inspection Department said that this case is a little strange, this batch of medicinal materials is of high value, but the pharmacy that smuggled medicinal materials does not have any reputation, it is very abnormal, I am afraid it is not an ordinary case of smuggling medicinal materials, they dare not confiscate it casually."

"Let them send the steward, and the others and medicinal materials will be placed in the inspection department first, and don't move for the time being."

"Yes, sir." The errand retired.

Yang Congyi rubbed his temples, got up and walked a few steps, moving his muscles and bones.

Since he came to the Xinghua Army the year before last to serve as a general judge, in addition to supervising the military and county officials in the military state, he also has the duty and authority to adjugate all military and state affairs such as soldiers and civilians, money valley, household registration, enlistment, prison lawsuits, etc., and he is constantly involved in miscellaneous matters of all sizes, and he is tired of miscellaneous matters for the whole month and the whole year, and it is rare to have time to leave the yamen for a few days throughout the year, but fortunately, the Xinghua Army is quite stable, and there is nothing particularly tricky.

Half an hour later, the officers were sent to the prisoner, and the inspection department escorted the prisoner.

The sun was about to set, and Yang Congyi didn't want to delay the release time, so he urgently ordered the messenger to bring people in for questioning.

As soon as the third master was brought to the judge, he immediately shouted injustice.

"What is the name, where is the person, and what are the grievances?"

Yang Congyi knocked on the table and reminded the other party that he had something to say, and not just blindly shouting grievances and wasting time.

The third master gritted his teeth and stood firm, and then replied: "The villain Lu Laosan, a native of Youxi County, Nanjian Prefecture. The villain was entrusted by the shopkeeper a few days ago, and transported a batch of goods from Youxi County to Xinghua with people, and did not want to be encountered by a team of officers and soldiers passing through the south of the city yesterday afternoon, they stopped the villain's convoy, and insisted that the villain did not have a pass certificate for this batch of goods, and the villain did not dare to argue with them, and even the people brought the goods back to the city by them. When they entered the inspection department, they asked the villain for a thousand yuan, but the villain only delivered the goods, and he couldn't get so much money, so they were whipped many times with sticks and whips. Please call the shots for the adults! ”

"If the inspection department wants to benefit from it, it is not in harmony with the law to punish you, and this government will deal with it. Now let me ask you, is there a pass certificate for this batch of medicinal materials that have been detained by the Inspection Division? Where are you going to ship it? ”

Yang Congyi is clear about the style of the inspection department, he doesn't want to ask more, and he will have the opportunity to deal with it in the future.

"My lord, this batch of medicinal materials must have a pass certificate, otherwise we would not be able to transport them out of Youxi County."
