Liu Guannan was sitting in the office yawning, and Yan Hao ran in from outside in a hurry. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Chief Inspector, something happened, something big happened."

Liu Guannan's fragile nerves were startled by the words "something happened" again: "What's wrong again?" ”

"Chief Inspector, someone is making trouble."

"Whoever makes trouble, what makes trouble. You take a few people to see it first, and control the troublemakers first. Liu Guannan was a little dissatisfied, "Do you still need me to teach you?" ”

"Chief Inspector, you'd better go check it out." Yan Hao was a little incoherent, "We can't catch it, there are too many of them." ”

"Too many people? How many people? Liu Guannan's mind is still controlled by a strong sense of sleep, "10 or 8?" ”

"Hundreds."

"How much?" Liu Guannan finally stopped sleepy, "Hundreds? ”

"Yes, Chief Inspector, a few hundred." Yan Hao reported, "And they went to the place where Yazhou Master Chen Mincheng and Zhou Chongde lived, saying that they wanted these two people to call the shots for them." ”

"Go, go." Liu Guannan walked with an armed belt on the side, "What the hell is going on, why do you want Chen Mincheng and Zhou Chongde to call the shots?" ”

Early this morning, no one noticed that in the commercial area outside the earthen wall, some people gathered one after another.

A man who looked like a shopkeeper stood in the crowd and said: "Fellow villagers, we left our hometown and came to Yulin Bay just to earn a few more taels of silver, so that our family, wife and children can have a full meal." This Yulin Bay is known as a paradise, but now the shopkeeper Meng suddenly suffered an accident, and the bones are not cold, but the murderer is still at large. Shopkeeper Meng's today is our tomorrow, isn't the big guy worried that he will die like Shopkeeper Meng one day? ”

Someone in the crowd responded: "That's it, that's it, the matter of Shopkeeper Meng can't just be settled." ”

"Hasn't the murderer Liu San been arrested?" Someone else asked.

"Yes, Liu San was arrested, and he was also tried by that or something, but who has seen Liu Sanfu? They are protecting the murderers, and they don't take us Ming Dynasty people seriously. Think about it, is Yulin Bay our Ming place or their place? ”

"It's our Daming place, and we must not let Shopkeeper Meng lose his life in vain." A slight commotion began to emerge in the crowd.

"Fellow villagers." The shopkeeper shouted loudly again, "Now that Mr. Chen, the master of Yazhou, and General Zhou, the general of Qiongya, have arrived in Yulin Bay, they are our bright and bright sky, and we have to let them call the shots for us." ”

"Yes, go to General Zhou to complain. The affairs of the Ming Dynasty have to be decided by the blue sky of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"Let's go, let's go find Mr. Chen and General Zhou." After the shopkeeper said this, he walked in the first place with his head held high.

"Go, go, shout injustice." Several people in the crowd also clamoured.

The small team gathered more and more people, and most of them didn't know what was going on, and followed the team with the mentality of watching the excitement. By the time they arrived at Chen Mincheng and Zhou Chongde's residences, the petition team had gathered several hundred people.

When Liu Guannan arrived with people, Li Xiao had already lined up arm-in-arm with a team of patrols to block the front of the petition team. Behind Li Xiao was a group of soldiers armed with flintlock pistols, and Wang Hua and He Jiong stood on the side and said something.

"Chief Inspector." Li Xiao hurriedly ran over and saluted.

Liu Guannan glanced at the soldiers behind the patrol very dissatisfied, who sent the army over?

"Li Xiao, what's the situation?" Liu Guannan asked, "What are these people doing here, and what's going on with the army behind you?" ”

"Report the Chief Inspector. These are all merchants in our Yulin Bay, and they said they asked to see Chen Mincheng and Zhou Chongde. Li Xiao said with a slight resentment in his tone, "I don't know who sent the army, but the people from the Second General Affairs Department are also there." ”

Liu Guannan didn't pay attention to the affairs of the army: "Where are Chen Mincheng and Zhou Chongde now?" ”

Li Xiao pointed to the Yulin Bay Hotel behind him: "It's all inside, Mr. Xu and Master Shi are also there." ”

"Li Xiao, Yan Hao." Liu Guannan ordered, "You are responsible for leading the patrol to stop these people from storming the hotel, and do not use force." ”

"And." Liu Guannan added, "Try not to let the army interfere, and it is the duty of our patrol house to maintain law and order." ”

"Understood, Inspector General."

Liu Guannan finished explaining and turned around and entered the Yulin Bay Hotel.

Wang Hua stood on a high place on the side and explained to He Jiong: "The leader and the troublemaker should be written down." Don't touch them yet, and we'll check them one by one when the patrol room is done. ”

"My subordinates understand." He Jiong stood upright, "Don't worry, principal, none of them can run." ”

Inside the Yulin Bay Hotel, Xu Lang and Shi Xianyang were talking to Chen Mincheng and Zhou Chongde.

Seeing Liu Guannan coming in, Shi Xianyang nodded to him and continued to say to Chen Mincheng: "Mr. Chen, according to our agreement with Lord Wang, we in Yulin Bay can exercise independent judicial power in the leased land. Meng Youcai's case was closed a few days ago, and someone must have taken the opportunity to make trouble in this matter today, and asked Mr. Chen and General Zhou to learn from it. ”

"Shi Gongzi." Chen Mincheng's tone was neither hurried nor slow: "It's not that the students don't believe in your Yulin Bay, and it's not that they want to violate the agreement between us." But now that the appointment of my family and Zhou has just come down, there has been a complaint in Yulin Bay. Anyway, it's also my Ming people outside, and if I and Lord Zhou don't go out to take a look, I'm afraid it's not easy to explain to my family. ”

"That's it, that's it." Zhou Chongde also said, "We just went out to see, nothing happened." ”

Liu Guannan secretly asked Xu Lang: "What's going on outside?" Why do those people have to see them? ”

"Someone is making trouble and wants to injustice Meng Youcai." Xu Lang replied in a low voice and turned to Chen Mincheng, "Chen Muyou, it's not us who are stopping the two." I just rushed back to Yulin Bay this morning, and the situation outside is not very clear. Now the people outside are very emotional, and we are worried about what will happen to the two of us when they go out. ”

"Xu Gongzi's words are wrong." Chen Mincheng smiled, "Local appeasement is our Lord Wang's evaluation, but now it seems that the place in your Yulin Bay is not very peaceful." Besides, with Master Zhou and your sons here, what danger are students afraid of? ”

Xu Lang didn't understand why Chen Mincheng had to insist on going out, and he had nothing to deal with for a while. In fact, Chen Mincheng had his own thoughts in his heart, and the purpose of his visit this time was to discuss with Yulin Bay about the 5,000 taels of land rental fees. Although Wang Kezong was promoted to the prefect of Qiongzhou and is still in Qiongzhou Mansion, the county officials are not as good as the current management, if they do not have an income of 5,000 taels a year because they went to Qiongzhou Mansion, both Wang Kezong and Chen Mincheng feel that the loss is huge. But after a long conversation with Lu Tianxiang yesterday, Lu Tianxiang didn't mention the silver at all, which made Chen Mincheng's heart beat a drum all night. Who would have thought that someone was going to come to complain early this morning, Chen Mincheng decided to seize this opportunity to press Yulin Bay.

"Since Mr. Chen and General Zhou are going out to have a look, then the old man will accompany the two of them out, no matter how you say that the two are also the parents of Yazhou."

As soon as everyone turned around, Lu Tianxiang, accompanied by Zhang Guodong, also came to the Yulin Bay Hotel.

Xu Lang and the others hurriedly stood up: "Old Lu, why are you here too?" ”

Lu Tianxiang ignored Xu Lang and them, and stretched out his hand at Chen Mincheng and Zhou Chongde: "Two of you, please." ”

Everyone went out of the hotel together, and when they saw Zhou Chongde and others coming out, the noisy crowd gradually quieted down. Xu Lang looked at Lu Tianxiang strangely, how could Ye Sunquan and Sister-in-law Wu be in the crowd below?

Zhou Chongde stood in front of the crowd and straightened his chest: "This will be Zhou Chongde, the general of Qiongya, and this is Master Chen of the King of Yazhou." Why did you come to us so early in the morning? ”

Seeing Zhou Chongde asking, no one from the crowd below answered.

Chen Mincheng took a step forward: "If you have any grievances, you can only come through the channels, and I will make decisions with you and Lord Zhou." ”

The leading shopkeeper knelt forward and knelt on the ground: "Two adults, we are the merchants in Yulin Bay, and we are also the people of the Ming Dynasty. A few days ago, our neighbor Meng shopkeeper died, and now the murderer is at large, we feel wronged, so I want to come to shout for Meng's shopkeeper, and I hope that the two Qingtian masters will call the shots for me. ”

Chen Mincheng was silent for a moment: "I and Lord Zhou already know what you said, human life is at stake, and I have to go back to Lord Ming to make a decision on this matter." You can retreat first, and I promise you that I will find out and give an explanation to the deceased. ”

The shopkeeper looked up and wanted to say something more, but Ye Sunquan behind him spoke first: "Everyone, since the adults in Yazhou said that they would thoroughly investigate this case, let's go back first, the two adults will not lie to us." ”

"yes, yes." Sister-in-law Wu also shouted, "Investigating the case is an adult's business, so let's do what we should do." ”

"Your Excellency." The shopkeeper just shouted, and the adult was interrupted by Liu Guannan.

"What's your name, which shop?" Liu Guannan walked over and stared at the shopkeeper's eyes, "I'm the chief inspector of the patrol room, if you are still dissatisfied with something, I will listen to you slowly when you go to the patrol room." ”

"I 。。。。。。 , don't have to, don't have to, satisfied, satisfied. There was a hint of fear in the shopkeeper's voice.

Liu Guannan said loudly to the crowd: "The two adults in Yazhou are busy with official business, and your appeals will be handled by the adults." If you have any other requirements, please elect a few representatives to go back to the patrol house with me, and I will tell Yazhou about it. Which of you will come with me? ”

"Chief Inspector Liu, we believe in you, and we also believe in the two adults from Yazhou." Wu Chengzong stood in the crowd and shouted, "You don't need to choose any representatives, let's disperse, disperse." ”

The crowd finally dispersed. Lu Tianxiang accompanied Chen Mincheng and Zhou Chongde back to Yulin Bay Hotel.

As soon as Shi Xianyang returned to his office, he had not sat down for 2 minutes when a large group of traversers rushed in.

"Shi Xianyang, what's going on today?"

"Justice Shi, is there anything wrong with Meng Youcai's case?"

"Yes, why did the people of the Ming Dynasty make trouble, this was something that had never happened before."

"Don't make any noise, ask one by one." Shi Xianyang secretly complained in his heart while dealing with these traversers, "Why has this matter been turned out again, or by the Ming Dynasty, it shouldn't be." ”

"Judge Shi, is Meng Youcai's case really done by Liu San?" A traverser asked.

"The whole process was public, and you all saw it. The evidence in the patrol room was conclusive, and Liu San himself pleaded guilty. Besides, Liu San's guilt was determined by the jury, not me, and the whole procedure is fine. ”

"Then why did Liu San transfer him to a military court again?" Another traverser asked.

"There is a case in the army that also involves him, and you also know this situation, why did you come to ask me again."

"Then why is there no movement on the army's side?"

"You have to ask Zhang Guodong about this, I can't take care of the army." Shi Xianyang finally found an opportunity to kick the ball to Zhang Guodong.
