Wu Denai is a native of Boye County, Baoding Prefecture, Beizhili, speaking of which is still the same township as Liu Ji, but Wu Denai is a scoundrel background, and when he was not developed, he was mostly mixed with Boye County, and was accompanied by the city fox and the rat, and Liu Ji was more in his own village, and in addition to the neighbors who were in contact with some scholars, the fate of the two naturally did not have any intersection before, and it is impossible to say in the future.

Wu De once followed a down-and-out old boxer in Boye County to learn boxing for a few days, a little skillful, but he is easy to work, and the mind is not right, often gather some fox friends to endanger the township, but he does not know what he has done to cover up, a few years ago the new county commander wanted to catch it and kill the chickens and monkeys, did not want to leak the news, was fled to the capital by Wu De, and later because of fate into the palace walking eunuch Mao Gui's eyes, and so Mao Gui was sent by Wang Zhen to take charge of the East Factory, Wu De rose and did the East Factory directly, In the past few years, because of Mao Gui's heart, he was promoted to a blocker.

Early the next morning, Wu De rushed to Shenzhou with two henchmen, non-stop along the way, and rushed to Shenzhou City in the afternoon.

"Boss, after a long day's journey, let's find a place to eat in the city first." A fan observed the words and looks, and saw that Wu De's face was a little tired, so he immediately opened his mouth to suggest.

Wu De is really tired, he is not confused when he is young, and his energy begins to decline when he reaches middle age, coupled with the excessive demands of one wife and two concubines in the family, Wu De is sometimes a little reluctant to go home after being on duty.

A group of three people rode horses in the city to swagger through the city, quite eye-catching in the crowd, ordinary people do not know the identity of the three people, although disgusted with these three riding horses in the city of goods, but look at the posture also know that there are people with a background, so in the spirit of more things is better than less than one thing no one reprimands, only a member of the crowd who has seen the world recognized the clothes of Dongchang Fanzi at a glance, knowing that these guys who are more vicious than Jinyiwei will not come to the small place of Shenzhou for no reason, So he trotted to the state government to report to Zhizhou Li Yan.

Li Yanfu trembled in his heart when he heard this, ordinary people have only heard of the notoriety of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, but these two yamen usually mainly deal with middle- and upper-class figures, and have little contact with ordinary people, so they don't know much, and Li Yan, as an experienced bureaucrat, naturally knows that the fans of Dongchang will not come to Benzhou for no reason.

Li Yan ordered someone to urgently summon the state judge and other subordinates, but after discussing for a while, he couldn't get the point, and finally decided to wait and see what happened.

After the subordinates left, Li Yan thought about it and felt uneasy, so he instructed his henchmen to secretly prepare three hundred taels of silver, which made him feel a little at ease, but he was sitting in the back hall of the state government and just picked up the tea cup and planned to take a sip of tea to suppress the shock, when a government official rushed to report in a hurry: "Master, it's not good, the three leaders of the Dongchang fan had an argument with someone in the restaurant, and they were beaten to death." ”

"What?" Li Yan was dumbfounded, and he couldn't believe that after only a moment of hard work, the leading Dongchang fan was beaten to death.

"What the hell is going on? You tell me more about it. ”

The official swallowed his saliva, and said in a colorful voice: "The little one is also heard from people, saying that the three fans were originally fine after entering the restaurant, but who knows why they clashed with Zhao Yuanwai, who opened a soap workshop, it is said that Zhao Yuanwai is alone, and it is impossible to beat three people alone, but who knows that it is only three punches and two kicks, and the leading fan is foaming at the mouth and lying on the ground, and he is out of breath after a moment's effort." The shopkeeper of the restaurant saw that there was a human life, and he didn't dare to slack off, so he asked people to report to the official. ”

Although Li Yan was greedy for money and lustful, he also had some city government, and after listening to the official finish speaking, he asked: "That Zhao Yuanwai is called Zhao Xin?" ”

The official nodded again and again: "It's the father of the new science and technology jinshi." ”

Li Yan picked up the teacup and thought for a moment with an expressionless face, but finally put the teacup down again, and said with a resolute face: "You go and call a few people, go to the restaurant to inspect the case, and bring all the people to the state government." ”

The official left quickly, and Li Yan turned around and entered the back house, and while ordering someone to change into his official uniform, he called his henchmen and said: "You go to the mansion of Zhao Yan and Zhao Guomei, the new branch jinshi, and say that his father has got into a big lawsuit, let his cronies prepare as much cash as possible, and he himself will rush to the state office as soon as possible to meet the official, and go quickly." ”

Zhao Yan finally had a day of leisure, but he didn't have any leisure to go out to enjoy the flowers, but stayed at home and became an otaku.

At this time, Zhao Yan happened to look at Li Yun with a smile and count his private money, and originally wanted to tease her, but before he could open his mouth, he heard Wang An, the housekeeper outside, shouting: "Son, Master Zhizhou has an urgent matter for people to pass on." ”

When Zhao Yan saw the person who came, he learned that his cheap father had an accident, and he immediately didn't dare to slack off, and ordered the housekeeper Wang An to go to the workshop to inform the third uncle to raise money, so he called Li Er, and then followed the person to the state government quickly.

Zhizhou Li Yan thinks that he has been in the eunuch field for a long time, and his age and experience have reached a certain level, so it is naturally impossible to be like a fledgling young man, and he will be in a mess when he encounters things, in fact, he did deal with it properly at the beginning, but as soon as he calmed down, he recalled the brutal acts of Dongchang that he had heard about over the years, and his heart defense, which was not particularly strong, began to waver.

Li Yan is very optimistic about Zhao Yan's future, whether it is favor or money, he is not hesitant to invest in him, but now that it is Guandong Factory, even if it is an investment, it can only be in secret, and the gentleman should know how to protect himself.

Li Yan had a plan in his heart, and when Zhao Yan arrived at the state government to talk with him secretly and learned what happened, without waiting for Zhao Yan to express his surprise, Li Yan said earnestly: "Guomei, now the one in the palace covers the sky with one hand, and the power is overwhelming, although the old man has the intention to kill the thief but has no power to return to the sky, the ambition of the past has been exhausted with the ups and downs of the sea for decades, and now the world is like this, the old man is incompetent, and the only thing that can help you is the three hundred taels of silver on the table, and the old man will personally talk to the two Dongchang fans later, and try his best to intercede for Ling Zun, It's just that the dead person in the east factory is a blocker, and this matter is really not good. ”

Zhao Yan's mind was chaotic, and he didn't understand how the cheap dad could have something to do with the death of a Dongchang head blocker for no reason, and when Li Yan's voice fell for a while, Zhao Yan reacted, and said busily: "Then thank you Li Zhizhou, but this silver is still asked to be taken back by Zhizhou, the matter is related to Dongchang, and the student does not want to implicate Zhizhou, and your lover student has received it." At this time, the top priority is to find out what happened, and the student wants to ask Zhizhou to put the case for retrial tomorrow, and the student wants to go to the scene to take a look and ask the other people who were present at the time. ”

Li Yan was a little troubled when he heard this, but he looked up and saw Zhao Yan's eyes firm, his face sincere, and after weighing it for a while, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Someone is coming." ”

Outside, a servant pushed the door in and asked, "Master, what do you command?" ”

Li Yan took a sip of the teacup before saying: "You go to the front hall and say to the crowd, just say that the official has a headache and is sick, and it is late at this time, the case will be retried tomorrow, let them properly place the body of the deceased, and the two Dongchang fans must also be well placed and must not be neglected." ”

The servant turned around, Zhao Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and after thanking Li Yan, he didn't dare to slack off, went out and called Li Er and wanted to rush to the restaurant where the accident happened, he didn't want Li Yan to stop him at the door, took out a small seal from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Yan, and said: "Now that a person related to this case has been imprisoned, if Guomei wants to interrogate, I'm afraid he will have to go to prison, this is the official's private seal, you take it, if someone stops it, just report the official's name." ”

Li Yan's behavior made Zhao Yan really moved, although he knew that Li Yan was to show favor to himself, and these favors were nothing in his authority, but for Zhao Yan at this time, it was almost like sending charcoal in the snow.

In ancient times, since the Han Dynasty, the central and local prisons have always been called prisons, and ordinary people call them prisons, but there is no title of prison, and since the Ming Dynasty, prisons have been called prisons in documents.

The prison in Shenzhou is not far from the state government, and when he arrived at the prison gate, Zhao Yan didn't want to spend his lips and tongues, and directly took out the private seal of Li Yan of Zhizhou, and the cell boss didn't ask much after inspecting it, he knew Zhao Yan's identity, after all, this was the only local jinshi for decades.

The cell boss directly took Zhao Yan's master and servant to the door of the cell where Zhao Xin was held, then turned to leave, just took two steps and turned his head and said: "The villain has seen a person with epilepsy attack, and he is also foaming at the mouth. ”

Zhao Yan was stunned for a moment, but after the cell boss finished speaking, he didn't stay anymore and walked straight away.

Zhao Xin's cell was quite clean, but disaster fell from the sky, and he was put in the cell in a daze, with a mess in his mind, how could he have any leisure to pay attention to whether the cell was clean or not.

The father and son looked at each other across the fence of the cell for a moment, Zhao Xin looked at the tall but childish young man outside the cell, and he couldn't help but have mixed feelings in his heart, he originally wanted to defend himself a few words, but finally turned around silently and said: "Xiaolang, go back, I killed someone, one person does things and one person is responsible, you go back and discuss with your third uncle, find Li Zhizhou to send some silver, presumably we can keep our family safe, but when you marry Yun'er, I may not be able to drink Yun'er's tea." ”

"In addition......" Zhao Xin turned his head and saw Zhao Yan's face blank, and Ai Ai said: "Ruyu she may have it, but I don't know if she was born male or female." No matter if you have a younger brother or sister in the future, you have to teach him well, and if it is a man, it is best to let him study, even if he can't get fame like you in the future, at least he must understand the reason......"
