Li Tianlin said: "I can go back to Yamen with you, but the eighty-four women on the ship also have to go with me." "Words, feelings, first, http://www.Klxsw.com

The man seemed to be the commander of the army, and his personality was also bold, and he said, "Yes, you can go with me immediately." ”
Li Tianlin returned to the cabin and explained the reason to Zhang Xianglian and his colleagues, took them out of the hatch, boarded the dock, and followed the person who looked like the general soldier into Xiangzhou City, came to the Yamen of the Assassin History, walked into the public hall, and fell to the ground on their knees. I saw a plaque hanging horizontally above the lobby, with the inscription "fair and honest", Tan Tingshi's clothes and hats were neat, his beard was fluttering, his eyes were round, he sat on the lobby, and patted the shocked wood with a "snap", and said: "Who is the surname of the person in the hall, and the old man will come up quickly." ”
Li Tianlin said: "Lord Yu, the grass people are Li Tianlin of Luoyang. ”
The assassin said: "Someone accused you of robbing a people's girl, are you guilty?" ”
All the women said: "My lord, Li Gongzi is a good person, he did not rob us. ”
Thorn Shi said angrily: "Who are the women in the hall who dare to wantonly disturb the court? ”
Zhang Xianglian said: "My lord, we are the so-called eighty-four women who were robbed. ”
Thorn Shi said, "Then why are you still talking to the robbers?" ”
Zhang Xianglian shook down her sleeves and said, "Your Excellency." Wu Guanbao is a human trafficker, Li Gongzi listened to the grievances of the people on the bank of the Hebi River, and tried his best to repel Wu Guanbao and save us. ”
Li Tianlin arched his hand and said: "My lord, this sister-in-law has nothing to say, please quickly send Wu Guanbao to confront the grass people in court." ”
"Well, you have a point." Thorn Shi shook his sleeves and said: "Come on, pass Wu Guanbao to the court." ”
A servant outside the hall shouted: "Pass on the Wu Guanbao to the ...... the hall"
After a while, Wu Guanbao came to the public hall and saw that Li Tianlin's arm was intact, and he stood aside with a folding fan. Said to the assassin: "My lord, the villain is here, what do you command?" ”
The assassin said: "Wu Guanbao. These girls in the hall testify that you are a human trafficker, what do you have to say? ”
The official security said, "My lord." The villain also bought them for good deeds. ”
Thorn Shi asked, "Oh? Where does this begin? ”
"My lord, you think, there is a famine in Xiangzhou, if I don't buy them, they will all starve to death, this is a good thing; We poor bachelors in Jiangdu have no money to marry wives, so I will go back and sell these women to them cheaply, and they will not be able to have children. Have you started a family? These are the two goodnesses. ”
Thorn Shi said, "Well, you have a point. ”
The official security said: "My lord, the villain is so painstaking for the benefit of the people, but Li Tianlin obstructs him and insists on destroying the villain's good deeds, you quickly bring him to justice, put him in prison, and sentence him to death." ”
Assassin Shi gave an order: "Come on, take Li Tianlin down!" ”
"Wait!" Li Tianlin clenched his fists and said, "My lord, no matter what the purpose of Wu Guanbao is to buy and sell women. However, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, the victim is far away from his relatives by trading people with property. He should be sentenced to five to ten years in prison, and if the circumstances are severe, he should be beheaded, and the person who should be taken under custody is Wu Guanbao, not the grass people. ”
Tan Minli asked a scholar beside him: "Master, is this really what he said?" ”
The master bowed down and said, "My lord, as far as the students know, there is indeed this crime in the law of the Tang Dynasty. ”
Thorn Shi patted the wood in surprise and said, "Come on." Escort Wu Guan down and wait for his fate. ”
A group of officials flocked up. Pressed Wu Guanbao to the ground and took him down.
Li Tianlin said in his heart: "This dog is a dignified state assassin. Unexpectedly, everyone is the same, and he has no opinions, I really don't know if he is really confused, or pretending to be confused! He clasped his fists and said, "Your Excellency is wise!" Can the grass people and the girls go home? ”
"Let's go back!" Tan Minli waved his hand.
Li Tianlin led the group of girls back to the ship, distributed 100 taels of silver and 50 taels of gold to each of them, and sent them back to their hometowns.
Li Tianlin sent Zhang Xianglian to Hanjiazhuang, but saw that the village was in a depression, and there were large thatched houses everywhere, and no one was seen. Li Tianlin asked puzzledly: "Sister-in-law Han, why is such a big village empty?" ”
Zhang Xianglian said: "There has been a famine in the village for many years, and the villagers have fled to other villages. ”
"Then why don't you and Brother Han go and flee?"
"Alas, Brother Li doesn't know, others can join relatives and friends, but the poor Han family has no relatives, only my mother's sister-in-law can take refuge, how can she not recognize her six relatives, so ruthless, where can we go?"
Zhang and Li came to the outside of an earthen wall, and saw that there were three thatched huts inside the wall, and a man, a woman and two children sat on the threshold.
As soon as the two of them came in at the gate, two children ran over and one hugged one of Zhang Xianglian's arms, and shouted: "Mother, are you back?" ”
Zhang Xianglian burst into tears, stroked the children's heads, and said, "Baotong, Aiqin, have you listened to your father after your mother left?" ”
Bao Tong said: "Mother, my sister and I are not naughty. ”
Aiqin grabbed her mother's hand and said, "Mother, where have you been, my brother and I are waiting for you to come back in the courtyard every day!" ”
Zhang Xianglian squatted down and hugged a pair of children, cried bitterly, and said, "Children, my mother will not go anywhere in the future, and stay with you every day, okay?" ”
Seeing her mother and son hugging and crying, Li Tianlin felt extremely sad in his heart, and said in his heart: "There is still a day of reunion for the family, I think that my Li Tianlin's parents are dead, and I will never be able to meet them again, alas, it is really providential!" ”
At this time, a decadent and sloppy Confucian came out of the house, and it seemed that it was Han Shilun, Xianglian's husband. He came to Xianglian, cried profusely, and said, "Lady, Wu Guanbao refused to let you say a word that day, how could he let you come back?" ”
Xianglian wiped away her tears, stood up, and said angrily: "If it weren't for this Brother Li to come to the rescue, I'm afraid you and I would have to close the ghost door and say goodbye, how could the slave family have a reason to return to their hometown again?" ”
Han Shilun looked Li Tianlin up and down, knelt on the ground, kowtowed to him three times, and said, "Thank you Engong for saving Neizi, Han Shilun will never dare to forget your benefits." ”
"Brother Han, please hurry up, you're welcome." Li Tianlin helped Han Shilun up and patted him on the shoulder.
Han Shilun welcomed Li Tianlin back to the cottage, with a sad face, and said: "Brother Li, I'm really sorry, you see that my family is poor and doesn't even have food for cooking, don't mind." ”
Li Tianlin clenched his fists and said, "It's okay, I'll go out and find some food and come back, you wait for a while." ”
Zhang Xianglian hurriedly said: "Brother Li, how can this be done? ”
Li Tianlin waved his hand, and the person had already run out of the threshold, jumped into the air, and came to Zhangjiazhuang. He said in his heart: "Tian Yi'e's evil mother-in-law and six relatives don't recognize it, she is extremely stingy, how ruthless, today the master will make her look good." He asked an old man about the outside of Zhang Chengjie's house, and when he saw a woman washing clothes in the wooden basin in the courtyard, he drew his sword and said, "Well, are you Tian Yi'e?" ”
The woman fell to the ground in fright, peeked at the visitor, and said, "Who are you, and what do you want to do?" ”
Li Tianlin pretended to say: "I am a flying immortal outside the sky, you are Tian Yi'e, right?" ”
The woman sat up and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, the little woman is Tian Yi'e, what is the great immortal doing?" ”
Tianlin said: "Some time ago, your sister-in-law Zhang Xianglian came to your door to borrow food, unless you didn't borrow her, and pushed her out of the house, yes or no?" ”
Tian Yi'e exclaimed: "Yes, how did Daxian know about it?" ”
Li Tianlin coughed dryly and said, "This immortal is clever, how can I not know about this little thing about you?" He waved his sword and said, "Since you have done a lot of evil, this immortal will cut off your head and let you repent in the Yama Palace." ”
Tian Yi'e hurriedly knelt up, kowtowed like pounding garlic, and begged: "Daxian spares her life, the little woman knows that she is wrong." ”
Tianlin said: "Since you know your mistake, you immediately open your granary and take a bag of grain and the immortal." ”
Tian Yi'e stood up hesitantly, walked into the granary, took out a bag of millet, and said: "Daxian, you also know that there is a famine in the whole city of Linzhang, although the little woman has surplus grain at home, but I have children and men, I am afraid that this little grain in the granary will not last long, please raise your noble hand, just take this bag of millet, don't ask for it again, okay?" ”
Tianlin said: "Well, for the sake of your family, this immortal will spare you for the time being." If you let this immortal know that you can't save you when you die, this immortal will teach you to know how powerful I am! ”
Tian Yi'e said respectfully: "I respect the Holy Order of the Great Immortal! ”
Li Tianlin picked up the rice bag and plunged into the clouds.
Tian Yi'e said prostrately: "Congratulations to the Great Immortal." She said to herself, "It's strange, do the gods also want to eat?" ”
