Chapter 58 Fengjie Secret Secret Group Visits the Canal Gang

Zhao Jirong hurriedly shouted: "Master Zhang, I was wronged, I didn't steal the donkey, I picked up the donkey." "You picked it up, dog, where did you pick it up? You picked up another one and show me? You are the one who stole it, you are a donkey thief, take him and send him to prison!" Zhao Jirong walked out of the village.

At this time, a young man came up to him and said, "Master Zhang, stop, my father has been wronged." Zhang Qian asked: "Who are you? How dare you block the avenue and obstruct the tolerance of handling cases!" Zhao Fengjie took out an official seal from his bosom and handed it to Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian looked at it and was stunned, only to see that the official seal was engraved with the ten words "Zhao Fengjie, the general of Zhengsi Mingwei", and he knelt down and kowtowed to ask for peace, and asked: "I don't know what will happen in the future?" Zhao Fengjie pulled him up and smiled: "It's the New Year, I went home to eat dumplings, I don't know how Lord Zhang tied up my father." Zhang Qian hurriedly said to the soldiers, "Quickly untie the old lady Zhao and help the old lady go back to the house to rest." ”

Zhang Qian turned back to Zhao Fengjie and said, "Two days ago, a merchant's donkey broke the reins and lost the donkey's saddle. The merchant looked for three days and did not find a place, so he reported to the county, because the county government was very anxious to arrest, and someone reported at noon today, saying that there was a donkey in your yard, and the lower official took someone to search, and sure enough, we found a black donkey, so please want to take the old man to the yamen to make a record. Zhao Fengjie asked again: "What does my father mean when he says that he is wronged?" Zhang Qian said: "Your old man said that when he opened the door in the morning, he saw a donkey, and after shouting for a long time, no one answered, and he couldn't find the owner of the donkey, so he took the donkey back to his house. Zhao Fengjie said: "In this way, my father did not steal a donkey, but picked up an ownerless donkey. At this time, a middle-aged merchant interjected: "This is my donkey, it has an owner, hey, where is the saddle on the donkey's back? Which saddle is worth 5,000 taels of silver, Master Zhang, you must find it for me." Zhang Qian looked at Zhao Jirong, and Zhao Jirong hurriedly said: "I didn't see the saddle when I found the donkey in the morning, I don't believe you went to my house to search." ”

The servants did not find the saddle in Zhao's house, and did not know how to deal with it, Zhao Fengjie thought for a while and said: "This is easy to do, maybe you searched very closely, this donkey thief put the donkey away the night yesterday, because this saddle is worth five thousand taels of silver, so he left the saddle and hid it, as long as the donkey is found, there is a way to find the saddle!" So, I called Zhang Qian and the merchant to come over and sue you and them for a method, and finally used this method to catch the donkey thief, this method is to ask the merchant to stop feeding the donkey, and wait until night to let the hungry donkey out. The donkey walked towards the old place where it had been kept for the past few days. Zhang Qianpai's people followed him to Zhao Jibiao's house, and then searched Zhao Jibiao's house, and sure enough, they found a saddle in the haystack.

Zhao Fengjie returned home as an official, ate dumplings at home, persuaded his father and brother, and told them that if they gambled again, they could only live in Zhaojia Village, and the second uncle would come back in a few days and go back to Tianpeng Mansion to live together.

On the morning of the first day of the new year, I secretly went to the Canal Gang, and saw that Zhang Shun was doing well, and there were many disciples in the gang, so he took away the spirit stones handed in.
