In March, the spring is bright, the willows sprout, the arrival of spring, it brings vitality, the green has quietly covered the vast land, the distant mountains are close to a piece of green, Wangjiang Restaurant is located on the bank of Qingliang Mountain, near the Yangtze River, at this moment Cao Bianjiao is dressed in casual clothes, with a family here to enjoy the scenery and feast.

Look out along the window, not far away is Qingliang Temple, the street outside are all hawkers doing business, today is the March 3rd Shangsi Festival, the incense boat tour is full of burning incense, the temple fair is not lively.

At this moment, there was a commotion in the middle of the street, many people were retreating, hiding to the side, and some good people stepped forward to join in the fun, Cao Bianjiao frowned, three or four men were chasing a woman, and the woman was running in a hurry, avoiding their pursuit.

"You don't have the royal law yet, I'm going to report to the official......" The young woman also shouted loudly, to deter the other party, it was obvious that the other party was not afraid at all, but continued to chase after him.

I only heard a brightly dressed man laugh and said: "Little lady, I have a fancy to you, but it is your blessing, if you want to run today, no way, the master will never let you go, hahaha, just go back with me to be a concubine." ”

The noise in the street has alarmed many people, but the people on the street are watching, but no one dares to step forward, and some of the cowardly, after a glance, they turn around and run away as if they didn't see it. Cao Bianjiao looked through the window and saw that the street was already very chaotic, and immediately he also walked to the attic outside, the woman shouted and approached the restaurant, and saw the woman stumbling in, and the men behind were still chasing.

The few entourage dressed up shouted in their mouths: "Don't run, my young master has taken a fancy to you, it's your blessing, see you still run." ”

I only heard a burst of dishes broken downstairs to the east, the woman had already run up to the restaurant in a panic, grabbed the arms of the two guards guarding the staircase, and pleaded, only to hear the woman's back "bang", and the clothes behind her were also torn, and then rushed directly into the buckle, hiding at the foot of the wall and curling up and crying.

"In broad daylight, robbing the people's daughters so strongly, is there still a law of the Ming Dynasty?" Liu Ru on the side also said angrily.

At this time, those people also broke up, and the person at the head heard Liu Ruye's scolding, and also responded: "What the hell are you who are the green onions, what kind of birdman?" Dare to take care of Young Master Ben's affairs, don't you want to die? Wang Fa? Hahaha......" suddenly laughed when he said this, and said: "In this Nanjing City, one acre and three points of land, what I said is Wang Fa?" Who dares to care about Young Master Ben, Young Master Ben will let him walk around without eating. ”

When Cao Bianjiao heard this, he also laughed, stepped forward and said, "Okay! Yes, yes, that's good! After saying a few good words, Cao Bianjiao suddenly scolded: "You are the king's law, you are the green onion, it seems that your virtue has harmed innocent people on weekdays, this Ming law is not in your eyes, and you don't care about your life, it seems that you have lived enough." ”

Cao Bianjiao made a look, Liu Ru stepped forward and helped up the woman who was curled up and hiding in the corner, Cao Bianjiao took a look, it was really a little beautiful, although he was very embarrassed at the moment, but a person's posture could not be hidden.

"Yuanyuan? It's you, why are you here? Liu Ru also exclaimed.

Without waiting for Cao Bianjiao to ask carefully, at this time, he saw the crowd around the staircase disperse, and a team of people came in from outside, all of whom were soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and the first one was wearing a five-grade official uniform, and he should be the commander of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses.

And when the young man at the head saw the comer, he immediately ran forward and shouted: "Commander Li, you are here, if you don't come, I will be ridden on my head and......

"Tian Gongzi, what's going on at this time? In this Nanjing realm, someone dares to beat you? I want to see who ate the bear's heart and leopard's gall and dared to sprinkle it here. ”

"It's me!" Cao Bianjiao walked up with a cold face, and scolded: "Li Guoqi, as an official of the Ming Dynasty, not only do you not do things for the people, do you not defend the people, but also want to help this person oppress the people with your might, do you know what crime you should be guilty of?" ”

As soon as Li Guoqi raised his eyes and saw Cao Bianjiao's cold face, his body shook in fright, and his legs were soft and he knelt in front of Cao Bianjiao. Originally, the people who were watching around saw Li Guoqi standing beside the brocade-clothed boy to help him speak, and they were all sighing for these people, but now they saw that they hadn't said a few words, and they were all surprised to see that this official who came directly knelt on the ground in fright.

That person was expecting Li Guoqi to come here to help them, but now that they saw kneeling in front of Cao Bianjiao, several people were stunned, knowing that they were afraid that this time they would really kick down the iron plate, and they all stood there with bloodless faces.

"Who are they?" Cao Bianjiao raised his eyes and looked at the people before asking.

Li Guoqi glanced at Cao Bianjiao, and immediately lowered his head and replied tremblingly: "Hui, back to the general's words, one is the son of Lord Tian Yang, the commander of the soldiers and horses of the five cities, is a dereliction of duty, please forgive the general!" After speaking, he hurriedly kowtowed.

Cao Bianjiao said with a cold face: "As the commander of the northern city of Kyoto in the Ming Dynasty, you are comparable to the garrison general of one side, even if such a person robs the people's girls in broad daylight in public, and after coming to investigate, you will help and abuse them unreasonably without asking questions, can you be guilty?" ”

Li Guoqi immediately replied: "Humble duty, it is not good to patrol the city, and the law enforcement is not strict, please forgive the general!" ”

Cao Bianjiao still said in a cold tone: "This time it was in my hands and was stopped by me, if I didn't come here today, I'm afraid this woman would be insulted by them, for the sake of you who have followed me for many years and built military merits for the imperial court, I won't punish you again, go back and take off this official uniform, go and guard the city gate for me, if it was before, I would have killed you at the beginning, with military law." ”

When Li Guoqi heard this, his face was pale, and he knew that his life was picked up, he knew Cao Bianjiao's character, and it was indeed very likely that he would kill him directly.

At that moment, Cao Bianjiao continued: "Pull these people down, and give me twenty rods to punish me with a cane first, as an example." ”

"Yes! Thank you, General! Li Guoqi also wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly ordered those people to be taken down and dragged downstairs to be disposed of in public.

Cao Bianjiao then said to the guards: "You go to the Yamen of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and let Tian Yang come over, today I want to see how he plans to end." ”

Cao Bianjiao didn't want to make a big fuss, it was the face of the court that he lost, but when he thought that he didn't know how many such people had not been caught, he would no longer indulge these people at the moment, and it was better to lose face than to have no face in the court.
