"Ah Cheng, get up so early? Let's sleep a little longer."

"I can't sleep", Tang Cheng was wearing a small coat under the service of Lancao, "When did you wake up?" Turning over and over is unsatisfying".

"Did I wake you up?".

"It's a little bit", Tang Cheng yawned, "As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw you staring at me, and I could still sleep there."

"Ah Cheng, I ......".

"Okay, I know you have something in your heart", Tang Cheng yawned again and rubbed his face with his hands, "I didn't expect you to be so shallow-minded, you can't even sleep when something happens."

"As soon as I closed my eyes, I saw Xiao Tao being beaten, and shouted at me for help", Lan Cao's body trembled, "Our two families are neighbors, and her mother also recognized me as a goddaughter, and I got along with Xiao Tao as sisters when I was a child."

"Okay, you've said this more than three times", Tang Cheng, who was dressed in clothes, went down to the ground and lit the other lamps on the lamp tree, and the house was bright for a while, "After breakfast, you can do what I said last night, first find a house and rent a room near Zuo, the house doesn't have to be big, but it must be a single family."

After freshening up, Tang Cheng took the handkerchief handed by Lancao and wiped it and continued: "After renting a house, you should also pay attention when you go to the West Market to buy a girl's mother-in-law, what you can do or not is secondary, a mother-in-law and two girls take care of one person, even if your hands and feet are slower, it is enough, the key is to have fewer mouths, if you are born deaf and dumb, it is the best."

"Yes", Lancao nodded.

"The last one", Tang Cheng turned around and looked at Lancao and said, "You must remember this, the one who will come this afternoon ......."

"Rifle".

"Yes, Rifle. When that Laifu came over again this afternoon, you explained to him clearly, you can't pick it up here, Xiao Tao wants to go to the rental house by herself, how can people escape? Don't ask how you get to rent a house after you escape, and don't care." Tang Cheng reached over and grabbed Lan Cao's shoulder, looked into her eyes and said, "Remember, you are just helping relatives in distress." It's not sheltering fugitive slaves. Ten days, after the little peach arrives at the rented house, you can only go to see her after at least ten days when you see that there is no movement."

"Yes".

"Silly girl. This is the best thing to do, it is a felony to shelter a fugitive slave, if you are caught or if someone sues you. At least eighty rods, can you stand it with your bones? ”。 Seeing that Lancao was a little emotional, Tang Cheng continued: "Xiao Tao is pitiful, but if this matter is leaked, you will have to be more pitiful than her." Do as I say, and there will be room for regression. It was easy for her to escape. The finishing touches can be troublesome."

This truth was said last night, and Lancao also understood, "Ah Cheng, I thank you on behalf of Sister Xiaotao."

"What do I want her to thank me", Tang Cheng patted Lancao's face, "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have touched such a risky thing."

When Lancao heard this, she took the opportunity to get into Tang Cheng's arms, "Ah Cheng, you are so good to me."

"The human heart is made of flesh. That's also how you treat me first! Speaking of self-acquaintance. You haven't opened your mouth to me, this is the first time. and said that she is your only relative, I can still refuse with a hard face", Tang Cheng stretched out his hand and hugged the blue grass, "If you want to say that your little peach sister's life is really bitter, with such a master, if you want to eat, you don't have a burden to eat, that man is really a fucking living king."

"That old thing is not even as good as Wang Ba, Wang Ba still has a hard shell", Lan Cao gritted her teeth and scolded, "And that Mrs. Ma is not a thing, her heart is more poisonous than a snake and scorpion, she is also a woman, how can she do it."

"Mrs. Ma?" , Tang Cheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, last night Lancao said that he didn't know where Xiao Tao escaped from, "That Mrs. Ma?" ”。

"I don't know", Lancao was a little embarrassed, when I saw Laifu yesterday, because the time was short, both of them were excited, many words were not clear, and the most should be asked did not ask, "I just heard Laifu mention it yesterday evening."

Mrs. Ma? It seems that there is only one big family surnamed Ma in this city, thinking of this, Tang Cheng's face became more solemn, "When he comes back today, you must ask who is the owner of Xiao Tao?" And what kind of job that Laifu is doing in that house should also be asked."

"Well, it was noted". After breakfast and going to the state office, not long after Tang Cheng arrived at the official room and sat down, Lao Liang walked in with a scroll.

"My lord, what do you see about this?" , Lao Liang spread out the scroll that had already been opened in front of Tang Cheng, looking at the urgency in his eyes, he really wanted to stuff the pen into Tang Cheng's hand.

After Tang Cheng glanced at the scroll, he looked at Lao Liang with a lot of amusement.

Tang Cheng didn't speak, but he had such strange eyes, Lao Liang was hairy all over his body, and the small drum in his heart was ringing chaotically, but after a while, he felt that his forehead was hot, and the white hairs and fine sweat were about to come out, "My lord, you are ......."

Carefully playing with Lao Liang's eyes, Tang Cheng saw that the corners of his mouth began to tremble, and then he spoke: "Lao Liang, did you take one less scroll?" ”。

"Huh?".

Tang Cheng's fingers tapped on the scroll in front of him, and when he heard this familiar knocking sound, Lao Liang suddenly remembered the scene in Chen Liang's office yesterday afternoon.

The same voice, but Lao Liang's mood ......

"I'm talking about the book that specifically records the wear and tear over the years", Tang Cheng's voice was very light and light, but this very light and light voice sounded like a thunderbolt in Lao Liang's ears, and his heart suddenly went blank, and the thought that immediately popped up in his mind was "finished".

Finished! Lao Liang didn't expect that Tang Cheng would ask someone about this, even if he wanted to ask, he should ask him! Wouldn't one more person know about the other than one more piece of money? How much does such a portion cost? How could he be willing to be born in poverty?

What's more, since he has already moved his heart to eat loss, the more secret the better, and he is not afraid of attracting suspicion if he asks others? Besides, he has only been in the state government for a few days, so he just wants to ask for such a private matter, who can he find?

Chen Liang's statements came to mind one by one, and Lao Liang was also convinced of this, but Tang Cheng asked in front of him......

Could it be that he knew it from the beginning? Could it be that he didn't even think about eating loss, he was just waiting...... In an instant, many thoughts came to me. The playful smile in Lao Liang's eyes seemed so cold, cold and sarcastic.

"Go ahead, bring me the scroll too. Otherwise, I won't be able to sign the account by name", Tang Cheng stood up and walked to the stunned old Liang, stretched out his hand and nudged his shoulder to send him out. "Recently, when the weather is cold and dry, it is easy to get angry, and this person is easy to be irritable as soon as he gets angry, and after he is irritable, he is easy to get confused. The thoughts of what should be done and what should not be thought of and what should not be done all came out. Lao Liang. Seeing that you are not young, people with weak bodies are especially prone to fire, so be careful! ”。

At this time, Lao Liang's face is like ashes, what else can he say there?

Tang Cheng personally sent Lao Liang to the official room outside, and watched him take out the scroll that recorded the wear and tear over the years. Received it with a smile.

After flipping through it casually, Tang Chengcheng closed the scroll and put it in the palm of his hand and tapped it gently.

"Miao Shi, you bring me the document that records the sale and purchase of land on acres this year."

Taking the scroll handed by Miao Shi, Tang Cheng deliberately looked at Lao Liang, who was still gray just now, but now he is snow-white.

Back in the official room, Tang Cheng didn't look at any other places after opening the scroll, and directly took a pen to transcribe dozens of relevant information about buyers and sellers who were recently born in Jinzhou City.

Name, address, after transcribing one by one. After Tang Cheng locked several scrolls into the cabinet. Through the wide open door of the official room, he called: "Lao Liang, you come in."

"This is the paper of this year's changes in acreage. The record is very sloppy, Lao Liang, don't do anything today, just copy this document again, I have some things to go out for, and you must not step out of this office before you come back."

After finishing speaking, Tang Cheng ignored Lao Liang and walked out of the office.

"Miao Shi, Haizhou, Lao Liang has urgent official business to do, this matter is very important, you look at him a little, before the company comes back, you must not let him go out of the official room", Tang Cheng whispered to the two with a calm face, "Let the handyman send a commode in later, he has to solve it in the toilet even if he goes to the toilet."

"My lord, they're all colleagues, this ......."

"Is official duty important, or is it the importance of colleague affection?" , Tang Cheng's tone was cold, and he was not allowed to continue to say, "If this matter is done well, it will be meritorious, if it is done poorly, you two will not have to receive it again for the second half of the year."

Since Tang Cheng became the master of Si Tian Cao, his face has never been so solemn, Feng Haizhou and Miao Shi didn't dare to say anything more when they saw this, and nodded yes.

After leaving Sitian Cao, Tang Cheng arrived in the east courtyard without delay, and went straight to Zhang Zishan's office.

"Tang Judge, unfortunately, Lord Sima is talking to Lord Jin, the superintendent who came from the Imperial History Observatory in the capital", the handyman explained with a smile: "It's been a while, and it doesn't take long to figure it out, why don't Tang Judge Si go to the next door to drink tea?" ”。

Supervise Lord Yushi Jin! Hearing this name, Tang Cheng's heart moved. When he was about to go to the next room, he saw Zhang Xiangwen, who was wearing a new tolerance uniform, swaying out of the opposite office's room.

"I'll come back another day to see you", Tang Cheng waved his hand to the handyman, and then walked down the steps and walked straight to Zhang Xiangwen.

Without a word of greeting, Tang Cheng asked directly, "Is there anything wrong now?" ”。

"I reported for work yesterday afternoon, and I only officially became an errand this morning, what can I do? is in a panic", seeing that Tang Cheng's face was wrong, Zhang Xiangwen also turned upright, "Big brother, what's wrong?" ”。

"If it's okay, follow me", as he spoke, Tang Cheng had already walked out first.

"It's dark, it's so dark", Zhang Xiangwen came out of the Lu family's house, shook his head and waited outside Tang Chengdao: "Big brother, your group of grandsons are too inhuman, this little widow is not miserable enough to drag a son, the funeral husband has to be stripped of the land for sale, and they will also take this money."

"Oh, there's a problem!" , Tang Cheng ignored Zhang Xiangwen's exclamation, "Is there anything to do with Lao Liang here?" ”。

"It's a big problem, these grandsons eat on both sides, and the buyers and sellers don't pull down any of them", Zhang Xiangwen was still filled with righteous indignation, "Isn't it just a case of preparing a case, and they have lost money for one acre of land." This mouth is much wider than that of Yunxi County."

"Alright, let's get down to business!".

The little widow did not know her name, but she was as she was and how old she was. It's the old Liang you said, big brother", Zhang Xiangwen said fiercely: "I still want someone after blackmailing money, if it weren't for the little widow's fierceness." really let him get his hands on it, this old immortal, he doesn't talk about routines at all."

Lao Liang is responsible for the writing of the deed of the sale of official land and the filing and registration of changes in land acres. If it weren't for this, Tang Cheng wouldn't have made this trip. Now that he has confirmed his thoughts, he is also relieved in his heart, it is good to have a handle, dare to dig such a deep pit for Lao Tzu, you will not be killed!

Until now. Tang Cheng remembered the ending of the Tian Judgment Division that Feng Haizhou said last night, and he still felt cold down his spine. He died and died, not to mention all the family property, and even his family members became official slaves and maids, this is the Tang Dynasty, once a person is branded as a slave and a maid, then even the descendants don't want to come out.

"Then the Lu clan agreed to sue?"

"Why don't you agree, I'm in a tolerance suit", Zhang Xiangwen showed a long sigh and said, "Hey! The name of our state government is not good. I first told the little widow to sue the yamen. She refused to live or die, and when it came to Jingli, she came to supervise the imperial history. Without saying a word, she immediately went in to change her filial piety clothes, damn, did she think that our yamen was small, or was she afraid? ”。

"I'm afraid", replied simply, Tang Cheng picked up Zhang Xiangwen and left, "Hurry up and go to the next house, the more people in this way, the better, it's best to block Jin Yushi in the yamen."

"Big brother, Si Tian Cao is under your control, don't put yourself in it, it's a joke. Besides, once this matter is revealed by the imperial history, the entire yamen will not be better, and the officials who go up from you to manage the sword and pen will be uncomfortable", Zhang Xiangwen said as he walked, "It doesn't matter if you participate in the military and don't drive, Sun Yuanjun treats you well."

"I just took office, and I didn't interfere in such a thing at all, so what's so good? As for Sun Yuanjun, don't worry, he won't blame me", Tang Cheng thought about it, but still didn't tell him about Sun Yuanjun's upcoming transfer, after all, he had already gone to the capital to move, and it was unknown if there were variables in this matter, "Besides, the local people in the yamen may not know that it was you and me who pushed it."

"Cheng, let's make a fuss, these grandsons also deserve it."

"Is the little widow good?" , While walking, Tang Cheng suddenly asked such a sentence.

"Okay", Zhang Xiangwen didn't react for a while, and said casually: "If you want to be pretty, you have filial piety, this is authentic."

After snorting twice, Zhang Xiangwen realized that something was wrong, turned his head to look, and saw the corners of Tang Cheng's upturned mouth.

ran several houses in a row, and at the same time as informing Jin Yushi's address, Tang Cheng also generously informed the residences of other bitter masters, compared with later generations, people in this year will not sue unless they are forced to do so, but when they really want to sue, the more people they have, the more courageous they will be.

Tang Chengyuan still thought about going directly to Sun Yuanjun after sitting on the problem of Lao Liangdi, so as to wave his residual heat, until he heard the name of Jin Yushi from the mouth of the miscellaneous servant, he suddenly changed his mind, why did the official of Yushi Yan do this errand, and it was the age of meritorious service, and this uproar was even stronger.

Although he hasn't asked yet, with his understanding of Lao Liang, if there is no one behind him, and Lao Liang's courage will definitely not dare to dig a deep pit for his boss, he will be so great that he will complain, and a few words of scolding behind his back will be heavenly.

Let's make a fuss, when the fuss is big enough, it won't be so easy for the person standing behind Lao Liang to hide it!

When he left Wu's house, Tang Cheng exhaled heavily, and said in his heart: "Lao Tzu worked part-time as an Internet writer before he crossed over. ”。

When the two of them finished running back, they saw that the solemn yamen was full of people clamoring.

"The little widow came very quickly", Zhang Xiangwen said in his mouth, and the person had followed Tang Cheng into the crowd.

Sure enough, I saw a woman holding a child in the middle of the crowd, and the woman's mother and son were kneeling on the ground in white filial piety, crying to Jin Yushi, who was just in his early thirties.

Just the two of them watched for a while, and another bitter master squeezed in, and after kneeling, he kowtowed and cried.

"Let's go", Tang Cheng touched Zhang Xiangwen.

"It's okay to go back, it's rare to see such a bustle in front of the yamen, take a look."

"When the bitter master points you out of the crowd, you will become lively", Tang Cheng couldn't help but drag Zhang Xiangwen out.

"Big brother, what's the matter?" Walking into the yamen, Zhang Xiangwen proudly showed off his ability to do things.

"Well, not bad", Tang Cheng nodded solemnly, "If you want to be pretty, filial piety, you are really right."

Well?!

Feng Haizhou and Miao Shi performed the tasks of the Tang Dynasty very well, or they didn't do anything at all, because Lao Liang's performance was completely unexpected by Tang Cheng.

Tang Chengyuan thought that this old Liang would have to jump a few times, should he find someone to call the shots or something, why don't you go quickly? Who knew that when he went in, Lao Liang was sitting there, neither copying the papers, nor struggling to get out.

Seeing Lao Liang like this, Tang Cheng was a little puzzled, "Could it be that there is no one behind this guy?" "Your task is complete, very good", after Tang Cheng said a sentence to Feng Haizhou and the two, he entered the official room and closed the door with his backhand.

Seeing Tang Cheng come in, Lao Liang didn't mean to give up his seat, just raised his head and looked at him coldly.

"Eat the buyer eat the buyer! Lao Liang, I underestimated your guts", Tang Cheng slowly walked to the bookcase, stared at Lao Liang and said, "You know what I just did?" ”。

Compared with the panic at the beginning, the current Lao Liang is really like two people, "What the adults say, the subordinates can't understand; My subordinates only know that although my lord is a superior, they can't tarnish my innocence at will, otherwise, Chen Senjun and Ma Bei's subordinates will argue."

understood, Tang Cheng completely understood now, Lao Liang's expressions at the beginning of the co-authorship were caused by panic, not because he was afraid. After all this time, his mind froze.

Lao Liang's words have invisibly shaken out the instructions behind him, and it is not strange to hear the name of Ma Beijia Tang Cheng, but it is Chen Liang...... With this guy's slipperyness, shouldn't it be like this?

"Oh, it seems that Chen Senjun and Ma Beijia really trust you enough", Tang Cheng smiled and said coldly, "Liang Delu, you are really old and confused, you have forgotten who the biggest person in this yamen is."

"Am I confused?" , There were only two people in the office, and Lao Liang was irritated by Tang Cheng's words, especially the laugh that made him extremely annoying, and he no longer had any scruples, "How about Sun Yuanjun?" What if he is your backer? Tang Cheng, Tang Cheng, I'm afraid you don't know yet, we will have to change the master in this yamen soon."

Saying these words from Lao Liang's mouth, Tang Cheng was indeed surprised.

Seeing Tang Cheng's surprised appearance, Lao Liang laughed out loud, "Tang Cheng, you are still tender!" I don't even know this, do you really think that the person surnamed Sun is taking you as a confidant? It's that easy to check me? Lao Tzu has been working in the yamen for nearly thirty-two years, thirty-two years, how much mud does it take to pull out the radish, does he still want the face of the state yamen? As an envoy, the face of the yamen is his own face. Even if it's just a check, so what? This matter can't be finished in a day or two, and if you don't wait for the results to be found, the person surnamed Sun should get out, and ...... when the time comes", looking at Tang Cheng, Lao Liang sneered.

"Pull out the radish ** puree, I see", Tang Cheng slowly leaned down, almost to Lao Liang's ear, and said softly: "Sun Yuanjun can't check you, so is it enough to add Jin Yushi from Beijing?" I heard that he only came in September, but in less than two months, people were already idle and panicked......".
