On the day when Lin Feng and the others arrived in Nanjing, Master Wu, who was the governor of the Yamen, ran into Hai Rui's official residence in a panic.

The old family member of Haifu said: "Master Wu, Master Hai is eating, you can wait for a while." ”

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Master Wu gave the old family a look and replied: "Oh, I really don't want to disturb Master Hai to eat, I just received another letter in the yamen, we can't afford to offend this plaintiff, so we have to quickly ask Master Hai to decide." ”

Hearing that there was official business to do, the old family led the master to see Hai Rui and said: "Master Wu, my master is really shabby, but he is not pretending, please don't laugh." ”

"How dare you, how dare you! Thanks to the yin virtue accumulated by the ancestors, the little one can serve the old man in this life, and it is not in vain to be on a return errand in the Yamen of Yingtianfu, which is really a blessing for three lives! The master replied.

"Hehe, if our Ming officials are like you, Master Wu, the affairs of the court will be easy to handle, I heard that the servants learned that Master Hai is in charge of Yingtianfu, and they were almost so frightened that they ran away last night, is this the case for Master Wu?" The old family asked.

"Don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, greedy ink officials, bullies and servants, which yamen doesn't have it? Some people are innocent of death, and the monks can't run away from the temple, so let's let Master Hai slowly find them to settle accounts. ”

While the two were talking, when they arrived at the study, they saw Hai Rui sitting on a rattan chair, drinking half a bowl of stick dregs, sometimes eating a bite of pickled pickles, and holding a piece of paper in his hand while eating and reading.

"Master, Master Wu is here." The old family whispered.

Finding that the person who came was the master of the Yamen, Hai Rui raised his head and smiled: "It's just in time, I'm about to send someone to find you, please take a seat." ”

"Meet Master Hai, and another copy of the paper was sent to the yamen, and the little one was afraid of making a mistake, so he hurriedly sent it to you." Master Wu said and made a gesture and handed a piece of paper to Hai Rui.

Hai Jui said to the old family, "Go down." ”

After the old family left, Hai Rui pulled a bench from his side and asked Master Wu to sit down, and then he spoke: "This official happens to have something to ask Mr. ”

Master Wu thanked Hai Rui and said solemnly: "Let's take a look at this paper first, the small ones can't wait." ”

Don't look at Xu Kun's appearance, just look at this paper, which makes Hai Rui suddenly disgusted, only to see that he was angry, scared the table, and said: "This businessman surnamed Xu is clever and unkind, obviously he took advantage of Tang Jing's absence from home for six years, bullying his wife and taking away people's property, and on the premise of no evidence, he actually bit his former friend is a pirate, so unreasonable?" ”

"Master Hai Mingjian! This is indeed a strange case, the businessman surnamed Tang said that he had been living overseas all these years, but he didn't say what he was doing to make a living, so why did he come back suddenly? Master Wu asked pretending to be quite strange.

Although there are strange things in this, Tang Jing's paper also makes it clear that seven years ago, he did violate the sea ban and did not dare to go home, and now, the new monarch ascended the throne and granted amnesty to the world, opened the customs, and allowed the sale of east and west oceans, he dared to come back, as for what he has done in so many years? We will investigate in detail. ”

"However, there is something suspicious about Tang Jing."

Looking at the expression on Master Wu's face, Hai Rui sneered and asked, "Master Wu, how much silver did Xu Kun send you, and you came to speak for him?" ”

Master Wu suddenly shuddered, knelt down in front of Hai Rui, and replied aggrievedly: "In the lower district, the small officials never accept people's money, let alone dare to be corrupt and pervert the law, yesterday, those bullies and greedy people, heard that the adults were in the new Ying Tianfu, all scared away, and now in our yamen, it is difficult to find a person who wants to do it, and the small one is not to speak for anyone, but to talk about the suspicion in his heart." ”

"What Tang Jing has done in the past six years, I will investigate and secretly visit, if he has any lawlessness, I will not spare him. Only these two copies of paper are said in front of him, Xu Kun must move out of the Tang family, the reason is clear, right and wrong have their own judgment, there is no doubt! ”

"Sir!" Master Wu shouted helplessly.

"What else do you have to say?" Hai Rui asked.

Master Wu lowered his head and replied aggrievedly: "The little one also knows the merits of this case, but this businessman surnamed Xu is afraid that we can't afford to provoke it." ”

Hai Rui ordered: "The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, immediately send me Xu Kun to the yamen, and I will be promoted to the court to ask about the case." ”

Master Wu knelt on the ground and said hesitantly: "This, this is your father-in-law, the nephew of Scholar Xu, Master......"

Not to mention Xu Jie, Hai Rui was furious when he heard this, and asked, "Don't you want to do it anymore?" If you don't want to do it, hurry up and roll up and go home, if you still want to do it, take the officials now, and immediately summon Xu Kun! ”

"Yes, sir." Master Wu agreed, gave Hai Rui a look, and withdrew from the study.

Master Wu returned to the Yamen of Yingtianfu, called a group of officials, and said: "Master Hai has an order, let me go and pass on Xu Kun now, if any of you are afraid, it is still too late to leave now, if you are not afraid, follow me now." ”

Most of the officers who stayed in the yamen were still their own people, and at this time, you look at me, I look at you, and no one dares to move.

Suddenly, Master Wu shouted: "Master is not afraid, what are we afraid of!" Walk. Then the servants followed him to Tang Jing's house to interrogate Xu Kun.

There were two set carriages outside the Tang family's gate, and the family member Xu Xi was about to set off with a horsewhip, but they were stopped by the official messenger of the Yamen of the Ying Tian Governor's Yamen.

Xu Kun jumped out of the carriage and approached Master Wu, threatening: "What a boldness! What do you want to do? Could it be that you are here to arrest me? ”

Master Wu gave him a bow and replied: "Senior official Xu, I have wronged you, Master Hai has read your pleadings, and now I invite you to go to the yamen to listen to the verdict of the master." ”

"Hehe, Master Wu, do you still need me to go? Tang Jing used to be a friend of mine for many years, he lost money in business, and went overseas to work as a pirate for many years, which everyone knows. Xu Kun explained, while pointing to the He mother and daughter in the carriage, and continued: "Over the years, if I hadn't taken care of their mothers and sisters, I would have been sold to the Qinglou, what face would Tang Jing have to sue me?" ”

Mrs. He got out of the carriage, knelt in front of Xu Kun crying, and said: "Official, we said it back then, if my father-in-law can still come back, you can leave from this house, please think about it, did you agree like this?" ”

Xu Kun flew up and kicked He to the ground, and Tang Jing's two daughters got out of the carriage crying and hugged their mother, who cried so much that it was dark.

At this time, Xu Kun found that there were a lot of people watching the excitement on the periphery of the alley, and someone shouted: "Xu Daguan, just go with them, when you get to the Yamen, you may not lose this lawsuit." ”

Regardless of whether he won or lost this lawsuit, Xu Kun felt that he couldn't afford to lose this person, and he was very annoyed in his heart, and he raised his hand to beat Master Wu.

Master Wu dodged his slap and was also enraged, and read Hai Rui's verdict in public, and the officials rushed up, ready to arrest Xu Kun.

"See which of you dare!" Xu Kun let out a loud shout, scaring the officials away.

As the nephew of the first assistant university scholar of the dignified cabinet, Xu Kun was annoyed and ashamed of this "humiliation" in front of the public, and shouted loudly: "Xu Xi, let's go, go back and settle accounts with them!" ”

More and more people gathered in front of Tangfumen, blocking the South Gate Street, Xu Kun and Xu Xi squeezed out of the crowd and headed towards Jubaomen, at this time, Lin Feng and others, who came to look for Ah Ping, were wandering on the banks of the Qinhuai River, and they also came to see the excitement with the crowd.

The neighbors came to comfort the He mother and daughter and sent them home, Tang Jing and Zhu Hui watched all this in secret, and couldn't help but cry.

When the excitement was over, Tang Jing finally couldn't help but kneel on the ground, looked up at the sky and shouted: "Ancestor bless, I really met the Qingtian Lord!" ”

At this time, Zhu Hui pulled him up and helped him to go home.

Tang Jingyu asked hesitantly: "This family, how should I face ...... in the future?"

Zhu Hui persuaded: "When you return home, you have to admit your mistake to your sister-in-law, if your sister-in-law followed Xu Kun away just now, or if she spoke to Xu Kun, even if Lord Qingtian sentenced you to win the lawsuit, I'm afraid it would be in vain." Besides, brother, you have been away from home for so many years, and it is not your sister-in-law's fault. ”

So, Tang Jing hid behind Zhu Hui and covered his face with a fan, for fear that passers-by would recognize him, and after a while, he arrived at the door of his house, Zhu Hui went to knock on the door, and a little girl opened the door.

"Daddy!" With a heart-rending shout, the family of four cried together.

At this moment, Lin Feng and the others watched a good show, secretly glad that they didn't send him to Ningbo, cursed this old Wang Ba in their hearts, and quietly left Nanmen Street......

felt that it was not a way to go on like this, Lin Feng persuaded: "Amin, you don't need to worry at all, A-Ping is not small, and she also has money in her hands, maybe she will go back to Nanjing for a few days, and she will go back by herself, let's go back to Ningbo." ”

"If you want to go, you can go, I will not go back if I can't find my sister! When you go back to Ningbo, if Ah Ping has already gone back, you can send someone to bring me a letter. ”

"Bring a letter, bring a letter......"

Lin Feng muttered a few words, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, patted his head and said: "Amin, do you remember that Ah Ping once knew a girl named Rong'er when she was in Liaodong, she asked Ah Ping to bring a letter to Ling'er of Xu Langzhong's family, and when she was in Ryukyu, Ah Ping made a fuss five times three times to go to Japan to deliver a letter, could it be that she went to Japan alone?" ”

Luo Amin, who had lost his mind, had already gone crazy, and after listening to these words, he thought about it carefully, and felt that his sister should not come to Nanjing without any trouble, and it was very likely that she would go to Japan to send a letter to Xu Ling'er.

"Let's go, let's go back to Japan immediately, Ah Ping must have gone to Akimeura." Luo Amin said that he would leave, but was stopped by Lin Feng.

"What are you going to do?" Luo Amin asked.

"I haven't seen enough of the good show just now, I really didn't expect that the bitter master of this strange case is actually Tang Jing, this bastard didn't work hard for me in North Korea, and dared to sneak back home, I don't know if he betrayed us, wait until I catch this bastard back tonight, see if I don't peel his skin!"

Tang Jing went home, and felt that he should go to thank Hai Rui, the eldest master of Qingtian, and took Zhu Hui out of the house as it was almost dusk.

Coming to the street, Tang Jing sighed: "I really don't know what to send to Lord Qingtian?" ”

"Since it's Lord Qingtian, he won't care what we send, according to me, when you go to Lord Hai's mansion, you can kowtow and thank you." Zhu Hui replied.

"That's right. I heard that Master Hai is the first day of taking office today, let's not ruin the reputation of others, just buy two of our Nanjing plate ducks, and ask the master to try it. ”

The two carried two ducks to Hai Rui's official residence, but they were blasted out by the old family, Tang Jing and Zhu Hui were unwilling, so they knelt in front of the mansion for more than two hours......

They knelt until the end of the day, and no one paid attention to them, so they got up and walked back along the flower market street.

At this time, after Xu Kun and Xu Xi were full of wine and food in Fireworks Willow Lane, they came to the door again, ready to ridicule the soup scene, and then drove him out.

Sending Xu Xi to knock on the door, Xu Kun snorted angrily and said, "Ye has never suffered such a!" Beat me up for this bastard later......"

Before he finished speaking, Xu Kun was covered by someone, and the two descendants tied him up, Xu Xigang turned his head, and rushed up to the two of them, this kid didn't have time to say a word, he was strangled by someone, after tying him up, he stuffed the two into two sacks, and threw them into the carriage very quickly, and took advantage of the night to get out of the treasure gate, and the group returned to Ningbo non-stop.

The next morning, Lin Feng didn't have time to eat, and said to his subordinates: "Bring that bastard Tang Jing over and ask him if he betrayed us?" ”

Zhang Gou'er opened the sack and untied the rope for them, Xu Kun and Xu Xi were tossed along the way, and they were about to fall apart, and they vomited all over the ground when they got out of the sack.

Lin Feng was dumbfounded when he took a closer look, this was not Tang Jing in front of him, but Xu Kun, who was occupying the magpie's nest.

After Xu Kun finished spitting, he pointed at Lin Feng and scolded, "You damn pirates! I know that Tang Jing is a turtle grandson, he hasn't done anything good in the past few years since he ran out, you, you really don't want to die? You really don't know who I am? Aren't you afraid of destroying the Nine Clans? ”

Although he didn't catch Tang Jing, Lin Feng knew that the person in front of him was not a good stubble, and wanted to squeeze some oil and water out of him, so he asked happily: "In the past few years, you have taken advantage of Tang Jing, right?" ”

Xu Kun still thought that this was Tang Jing's accomplice, and continued to threaten: "My cousin of the country, I take advantage of him?" You don't want to fucking live anymore? ”

Lin Feng suddenly became interested and asked, "May I ask which country's nephew are you?" ”

"Which other minister can there be in Songjiang Mansion? Wenyuan Pavilion Chief University Scholar Xu Jie, don't you know? That's my own uncle! ”

Although he hadn't seen Yan Shifan, Lin Feng suddenly found that this person felt like Yan Shifan, and wanted to slap him, so he gave him a bow and whispered: "Xu Daguan, I'm really sorry, I was going to arrest Tang Jing, this bastard, but I didn't expect to offend Your Excellency, please forgive me!" ”

Xu Kun thought that Lin Feng was scared, so he raised his hand and gave him a big mouth, jumped to his feet and scolded: "Damn robber, apologize and shit!" ”

Lin Feng suppressed the anger in his chest and asked, "Then what do you say?" ”

"Tossed Lao Tzu for a whole night, suffocate me to death, don't pay 100,000 taels of silver, I will destroy your nine clans!" Xu Kun replied hatefully.

Seeing him so arrogant, Lin Feng suddenly felt disgusted, no wonder people all over the world hated Yan Shifan so much, it seemed that the person in front of him was even worse than Yan Shifan, so he decided to get him away and blackmail the first assistant scholar of the cabinet in the future.

Thinking of this, Lin Feng gave the bodyguards a look, and said with a pleasant face: "Send Xu Daguan home, and the silver that should be compensated will be sent to others together, we can't afford to mess with it!" ”

The vicious bodyguard picked up Xu Kun and left, only to hear him still scolding unrelentingly: "What a bunch of bastards who don't have long eyes!" ”
