Zhang Wei sat in the teahouse and saw it clearly, and shouted to the catchers: "Arrest people!" ”

After that, Zhang Wei took the lead in rushing over and blocked in front of Princess Taiping's car.

Seeing that Zhang Wei really didn't take her seriously, Princess Taiping was so angry that she stomped her feet in the car and said angrily: "Zhang Wei, don't you want to live?" ”

Zhang Wei saluted Princess Taiping and said, "As a princess, you should share the emperor's worries, but you connived at your own house slaves to behave mishaps, which is a loss of the princess's duty." Only ask the princess to hand over the murderer who killed and seized the treasure, and no longer embarrass the lower officials, and the lower officials are naturally grateful to you! ”

Princess Taiping saw that Zhang Wei was in front of the public, and scolded her for not being a faceless, she was so embarrassed that her face turned blue, she pointed to Zheng Pingfu in front of the car, and said sharply: "Zheng Pingfu is here, what do you dare to do to him?" ”

Zhang Wei knew that there was no reason to talk to Princess Taiping, and there was no need to quarrel with her anymore, so he waved his hand to the catchers: "Take down the murderer, and all the consequences will be borne by the official alone!" ”

When the officials heard Zhang Wei say this, they rushed up and pulled Zheng Pingfu off the car.

Zheng Pingfu was so frightened that he shouted: "Princess, help!" Princess, help! ”

Princess Taiping yelled at Zhang Wei: "You dog slave is really bold, this princess will definitely sue the emperor, see how you explain?" Don't let them go yet! ”

Zhang Wei knew that what Princess Taiping said was not a lie, although Li Tao supported her, but if the emperor listened to her, it would be difficult to do.

In order not to cause trouble to Li Tao, Zhang Wei simply didn't do anything, suddenly pulled out his sword, and shouted: "Kill people and seize treasures." The sin is terrible! This kind of villain should be killed! ”

After saying that, Zhang Wei waved his sword. Zheng Pingfu was executed on the spot.

Princess Taiping didn't expect Zhang Wei to enforce the law in front of her, and she was so angry that she almost fainted. Immediately rushed to the palace and cried to Li Xian.

Jingzhao Yin Zhang Wei beheaded the coachman Zheng Pingfu in front of Princess Taiping, and many people watched at the scene, and overnight, this matter spread all over the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

When Zhang Wei and Chen Shi went to arrest Zheng Pingfu, Li Tao didn't really go to sleep, but talked with Ma Ming.

In fact, it doesn't take much trouble to arrest Zheng Pingfu, but in order to deter other wealthy families. He had already discussed with Princess Taiping and asked Princess Taiping to star in a play. However, in order to play the play realistically and not show flaws, he did not tell Zhang Wei and Chen Shi about it. Taking this opportunity, he wanted to get a good understanding of the situation of these people in Chang'an City who were called scammers and thieves from Ma Ming.

Ma Ming was well aware of the rampant fraud and theft in Chang'an, and after listening to Li Tao's inquiry, he talked eloquently: "The scams that happened in Chang'an City can be described as varied, and people can't prevent it. The first is to set up a beauty bureau, which is dedicated to people. It is mainly to use beautiful prostitutes as bait to lure young men, pretend to be his concubines, and then defraud money. The second is to run a casino. Those who trick teenagers or outsiders into gambling and make money by playing tricks. The third type is called the 'Water Merit Bureau', which pretends to be able to open up relationships for people. Those who went to the capital to seek official positions and promotions, hoping to get favors and promotions. Or there are lawsuits, and the scammers claim to be able to get through the joints. But as soon as the money arrived, it slipped away. The fourth is to use the fake to make the real in the name of buying and selling goods, such as paper to fake clothes, copper and lead to fake gold and silver, and civil engineering to fake incense. Therefore, this kind of liars are called 'day thieves'. Fifth, the operators of liquor shops and teahouses collude with prostitutes to trick people from other places into Beijing to consume treasures, raise prices, and defraud and extort money, and many people fall into the trap......"

Li Tao couldn't help but be dumbfounded, he didn't expect that the means of fraud in Chang'an City were so rich, they were comparable to later generations.

"Haven't you been arrested?" Li Tao asked.

Ma Ming smiled bitterly: "Why haven't you been arrested?" It's just that they're all small characters, and those big fish are so cunning that we haven't even caught any of them! ”

"Big fish? What big fish? Li Tao asked puzzled.

"There is an organization in Chang'an City called Red Fox Hall, specializing in this fraud, although their number is not large, they can act secretively, they are not known, and the fraud in Chang'an City is relatively large, nine times out of ten they did it! It is said that the hall master of the Red Fox Hall is still a woman, and her deception skills are extremely high. ”

"Do they have any characteristics?"

"There are no obvious features, but I have heard that both men and women wear red belly pockets with a fox embroidered on them, so they are called Red Fox Hall."

"You haven't even caught them once?" Li Tao seemed to be a little unconvinced.

"I'm really ashamed, I used all kinds of methods, and I really haven't even caught it once!" Ma Ming blushed a little.

"You can see that these people are not easy to deal with! If you can't see anyone, let them take off their clothes and check if they have a red belly pocket! Li Tao had some sympathy for Ma Ming.

"Uncle Yue!" Li Tao shouted outside the door.

"Little master, what's the matter?" Pei Yue came in and asked.

Li Tao whispered a few words to Pei Yue, and Pei Yue nodded and went out.

"Ma Ming, tell me about the crime of this Red Fox Hall!"

"In recent years, they have cheated dozens of times, big and small, and have never missed a single one. I'll just tell you about the 'Hive' case and the 'Yellow Mandarin' case! ”

"Okay, you can hear it!" Li Tao was interested.

"The 'Hive' case happened in ...... last year"

……

There is a small pharmacy in Chang'an, called "Jishengtang", this pharmacy has been for three generations and is very famous.

One day, two beehives came to sell beehives, and the hives they sold were different from other beehives, they were very large, and they needed two people to carry them, and the price they shouted was also very expensive. Originally, the hive was only a few pieces of silver, but these two cost five hundred, and the medicinal effect of the hive has nothing to do with its size, can it be sold at such an expensive price?

These two carried the giant hive in three steps, shouted five steps and shouted, and walked around to the Jishengtang pharmacy, and saw that the two of them were of course going in to sell, saying that they were woodcutters in the mountains, risking their lives to pick this hive of the world somewhere on the cliff, look at it, this hive costs 500 yuan is not much, even if it is not a medicine, it is worth it as a collection......

The three generations of the pharmacy owner are engaged in medicine, how can they listen to this kind of nonsense, and they sent the two away with a kind word, and they laughed secretly in their hearts that the two woodcutters opened their mouths.

After three days, a guest suddenly came to the pharmacy, very anxious, saying that the owner of the family was seriously ill, please have the palace doctor to diagnose and treat, the doctor prescribed medicine, all the medicines are complete, only the lack of a beehive, all over the Chang'an pharmacy can not be found, so I have to try my luck in this Jishengtang.
