At this time, it was already a watchday, and 600 closed-door drums sounded on the tower of the east gate of Longxi City, which meant that the city gate would be closed and the curfew would be entered.

The so-called curfew, as the name suggests, is not allowed to travel at night, if you come out during the curfew to make a fuss, it is nothing to look for, a crime of the night does not have to run, at least dozens of whips.

Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Datang has begun to implement a curfew policy, from the first watch day to the fifth watch day in the curfew period, which is what we usually call 7 p.m. to 5 a.m.

But people are alive, rules are dead, how can a living person suffocate urine to death?

If it is really as the laws of the Tang Dynasty say, from 7 o'clock in the evening to 5 o'clock in the morning, it is not allowed to go out, then how can it be shown that the road under the prosperous era of the Tang Dynasty is not left unturned, and the door is not closed at night?

How is it possible that you let the capital of the Tang Dynasty like Chang'an and the international city like Luoyang start to enforce the curfew on the first watch day (that is, at 7 o'clock in the evening)?

Even if you close the door and get into the bed at 7 o'clock in the evening every day, there will always be a time when you get tired.

Therefore, although the national policy has set a curfew to start at 7 p.m., basically all prefectures, counties, and counties will move the curfew time period to the end of the second watch (that is, 12 p.m.).

However, the county seat of Longxi is a special case, as long as it is the beginning of the first watch, the east gate will sound 600 closed door drums, the city gate will be closed, and the curfew will be enforced.

If you are caught by the soldiers who patrol the city, even if you don't die, you have to peel off your skin.

Without him, just because this is the rule set by the county magistrate of Longxi City, the county magistrate set this rule six years ago when he took office in Longxi County.

As for why the prefectural magistrate set this rule, it is unknown.

In Longxi County, this acre and three points of land, the county commander is the sky is the earth, and he has the final say on everything, what else can he do?

This is a bitter suffocation of those night owls who like to fool around in the middle of the night, but when they think of the piercing pain of dozens of whips, no one dares to take this head.

However, this seemingly unsympathetic move still plays a certain positive role in the security of Longxi County at night, at least the people who come out at night to commit crimes are no longer as frequent and serious as before.

Of course, the curfew policy is also not applicable to some special industries, such as brothels and secret prostitution kilns.

Who has ever seen a brothel in a green house open in broad daylight to do business, and bitch prostitutes and fans come out to solicit customers?

After 600 closed-door drums sounded, Pang Feihu stood at the east gate and kept stomping his feet, secretly anxious, and muttered: "Why don't you come back, once this city gate is closed, even if you bring back food tomorrow, it won't be a problem." ”

At this time, an official in charge of guarding the east gate stepped forward and asked in a low voice: "Team leader, the drums of the closed door have passed, is it time to close the city gate?" ”

They are all in the soap class, and the officials all know what happened to their soap class. But it's been a day, if the city gate is not closed, it will violate the curfew policy of the county commander, although the county magistrate does not show up, and some officials have not even seen what the county magistrate looks like, but the county magistrate kills fiercely? The reputation of spicy killing is not covered.

Pang Feihu exhaled a breath of turbidity, frowned and gritted his teeth, and said in a deep voice: "Wait a little longer, Guo Ye, this kid is skillful, and his style is steady, he is by no means a person who exaggerates Haikou, and the head of this team can trust him." ”

The gatekeeper looked at Pang Feihu with a complicated face, and said in his heart, one is prosperous, one is lost, what else can be done? Naturally, with Pang Feihu's waves, he drifted away.

Just when Pang Feihu was restless, Zhang Xiaoqi, who was in charge of knocking on the door drum upstairs, suddenly ran down the city tower and shouted in a hurry to pull Pang Feihu's official uniform: "Come back, team leader, they're back, look!" ”

As he spoke, he pointed at a group of figures not far from the east gate.

Pang Feihu's face trembled and his beard trembled, and he looked carefully into the distance, but no, he was really fucking back.

Isn't that thin bamboo pole-like thing in the lead Gan Zhushou? The person next to him looked at the figure of Ruan Laosan, yes, it was them, it couldn't be wrong.

Look at a few officials following behind, escorting a dozen or twenty mule carts and ox carts, and the carts are full of sacks and sacks, isn't it grain?

Pang Feihu clenched his fists, patted Zhang Xiaoqi's shoulder excitedly, and shouted excitedly: "Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi, your kid's life is good, as long as this grain enters the city gate and enters the official warehouse, your kid's head can be regarded as saved." ”

For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Zhang Xiaoqi couldn't help touching his neck and nodding his head again and again, sighing in his heart, he really owed Guo Ye and Guo Xiaoge a great favor, no, I owed him a life.

Under Pang Feihu's Zhang Luo, several officials ran out of the east gate, helped Gan Zhushou and others drive the mule cart and ox cart, and quickly entered the east gate.

After nearly 20 mule carts entered the city gate, the east gate of Longxi City was slowly closed with a creak, and the curfew officially began.

Pang Feihu commanded everyone not to rest first, so as not to have too many dreams at night, he directly pulled the tens of thousands of catties of grain to the official warehouse next to the county government for storage.

Then he ordered Zhang Xiaoqi to quickly go to the household Cao officials, Liang Su, and Liang Gongzuo to arrange personnel to go to the official warehouse to verify the registration and make a record, and quickly pay the tens of thousands of catties of taxes and grain

After paying the tens of thousands of catties of taxes and grain, Ruan Laosan repeated the words that Guo Ye had confessed to Pang Feihu one by one.

After getting rid of the big trouble of tax and grain in Dongliu Township, Pang Feihu finally fell into his heart, and at the same time, he also hated Qin Wei's tricks behind his back this time.

Pang Feihu clenched the handle of the Tang knife on his waist, and said hatefully: "Qin Wei, Qin Wei, do you really think that Pang is easy to bully and let you handle it, right?" ”

Immediately dragged Gan Zhushou, Ruan Laosan, Zhang Xiaoqi and several other officials to a no-man's land, and said loudly: "Brothers, it seems that this time our soap class is going to work with the fishing class, since people want to smash our jobs, how can we sit still and wait for death?" Everyone worked hard all night, and went to Dongliu Township overnight with the head of the team, and directly overturned the Liu family. ”

Pang Feihu is righteous, treats his subordinates like brothers, and has always enjoyed popularity in the soap class.

Now that he greets, how can everyone below retreat and admit it?

Everyone shouted to kill the Liu family, and took advantage of the situation to defeat Qin Wei, a tiger.

Especially Zhang Xiaoqi, he is a direct victim, and he is about to go to the guillotine overnight, and he can walk away before the ghost gate is closed.

He had already calculated that as long as he took out the tax grain stolen by the Liu family, he would not kill Liu Laolai and his son.

Then, under the leadership of Pang Feihu, several people left the vicinity of Guancang one after another and set off in the direction of the east gate.

The soap class shoulders the responsibility of guarding the east gate, although the east gate is closed at this time, and no entry or exit is allowed in Longxi City, but how can you get the people in the soap class?

After a while, Pang Feihu and the others sneaked out of the east gate and rushed towards the direction of Dongliu Township overnight, hoping to make peace with Guo Ye and Cheng Erniu, who were squatting outside the Liu family's compound, as soon as possible.

Tonight is destined to be sleepless,

Tonight, the soap class will also rise up!

But

There are no impermeable walls.

Although Pang Feihu and others escorted tens of thousands of catties of tax grain into the official warehouse in a very low-key manner, they were still seen by people with intentions, and at the same time it reached Qin Wei's minions, catching Liu Er's ears.

Liu Er prides himself on being Qin Wei's henchman among his minions, and since he was insulted by Guo Ye in Drunken Xianlou, he naturally knew about the seemingly seamless plan of his boss Qin Zhutou.

When he learned that the soap class had escorted tens of thousands of catties of grain into the official warehouse on time, he immediately panicked, and immediately ran towards Qin Wei's house without caring about getting dressed neatly.

Qin Wei's home is located in Dongcheng, a gathering place of rich gentry in Longxi County.

In addition to Chengdong Street, there are eight alleys in Dongcheng, and Qin Wei's home is in one of them, named Fushun Lane.

Taking advantage of the night, Liu Er evaded the strong soldiers patrolling the city and went around to the Qin family in Fushun Lane.

After knocking on the door of the Qin family, Liu Er, who was familiar with the door, was led into Qin Wei's main hall by the Qin family's subordinates.

At this time, Qin Wei was holding a little lady wearing wisps of tulle and drinking a little wine, and when he saw Liu Er coming, he was in a good mood and was just about to beckon him to sit down and drink.

But before the words came out, Liu Er had already shouted with a panicked face: "Qin Zhutou, it seems that something big has happened." ”

Belch......

Qin Wei couldn't help but burp when he heard Liu Er's words, what do you mean that something seems to have happened?

Then he pushed away the little girl's skin in his arms, and scolded: "Go back to the side room and wash it, the master will go to your room later to kill you." ”

The little lady was not annoyed by Qin Wei's abrupt push, but glanced at Qin Wei coquettishly, and then giggled a few times, and then left the hall with a lotus step and a big round buttocks.

Boom!

Liu Er, who saw that his eyes were straight, couldn't help but swallow his saliva, and longed in his heart, what a sass!

Qin Wei saw that Liu Er's eyes were straight and distracted, so he grabbed a handful of peanuts and smashed them into Liu Er's face.

After being beaten, Liu Er came back to his senses, confessed in fear, and then told the story that Pang Feihu and others had put the tax grain into the official warehouse on time.

The more Qin Wei listened, the more his heart sank, his cheeks, which were already flushed from drinking, turned purple at this time, and his eyebrows were even more wrinkled together.

Could it be that the things I secretly ordered the Liu family to do have been detected by them? Otherwise, where did these poor eggs come from to pay for tens of thousands of catties of grain?

That's a few hundred taels of silver, and it's not something that these poor people can raise in a moment.

It should be where the Liu family showed their feet, and they were discovered by the bastards of the soap class and found the tax grain.

Damn, Pang Feihu deliberately took a few people to stay in the city tower to confuse Lao Tzu, and then secretly sent Guo Ye, the little brute, to take people to Dongliu Township.

It's a good memory of the plank road to secretly cross Chen Cang!

It seems that the Liu family is going to be finished, stealing the imperial court's tax grain, not to mention the nine clans, but the father and son of the Liu family will inevitably die.

"No, Lao Tzu must save himself, abandon the car to protect the handsome, Liu Laolai, my father-in-law, don't blame me Qin Wei for being ruthless, I have no choice but to do so." Qin Wei muttered to himself, he knew too well the ditches and ditches in the yamen, as long as the Liu family's father and son were tortured, they would definitely involve him, the mastermind behind the scenes.

With a plan in his heart, Qin Wei hurriedly put on the boots on the ground, and then hurriedly ran out of the hall.

Seeing this, Liu Er was stunned, and hurriedly shouted behind him: "Qin Zhutou, why are you going?" ”

Qin Wei didn't even look back, rushed straight to the gate, and then shook off a sentence and said: "Abandon the car to protect the handsome, Lao Tzu must go to the county Weigu lord's house." ”
