The vermilion gate opened to the south, and the carved beams painted the noble houses.

The courtyard of Wujin occupies a small half of the street, and the courtyard wall made of blue bricks is one zhang high, full of magnificence. The Hu family has lived in Taicang for three generations, multiplying, more than 20 people, plus domestic slave workers, there are hundreds of people, which can be regarded as a big family.

Tang Yi took a deep breath, it was not easy for him to stand here, Hu Bin did everything possible to stop him, making Chen Menghe hesitate. At the critical moment, the old man Wei Liangfu arrived. His cheap teacher actually bet on his lifelong reputation and vouched for Tang Yi, in exchange for Chen Menghe's nod.

However, Chen Menghe also said that the search is not allowed to destroy things, and it is not allowed to embarrass the Hu family, and if he is a little offended, he will not be able to eat and walk around.

In Tang Yi's ears, none of this mattered, as long as he entered the Hu family's house, he would have the key to completely reversing the case in his hands!

"Tang Xiaoxianggong, I still call you Xiaoxianggong!" Zhou Xun, the head catcher, hugged his shoulders and smiled nonchalantly: "Judge Hu is the commander under him, this time he came over, to put it bluntly, he is going through the motions, Xiao Xianggong, if you want to find the prisoner, I'm afraid it won't be?" ”

"Hehe, Zhou Zhutou, it's not that I want to find something, but someone wants to find it!" Tang Yi pointed to the sky with his finger, and Zhou Xun was suddenly stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

Tang Yi smiled faintly: "Zhou Zhutou, I see that you have been doing it for many years, right?" ”

"At the age of eighteen, I took my father as the head catcher, and I have been until now."

"Then do you know why you can't be promoted?"

"Boy, don't toast and don't eat and drink!" At the mention of sadness, Zhou Xun's eyes immediately widened.

Tang Yi smiled and said: "Zhou Zhutou, let's not talk darkly, Hu Bin designed Lei Qi and wanted to implicate me." Do you think Lord Zhizhou will not know, he is just a plan! ”

"What did you say?" Zhou Xun's eyes widened in disbelief, and he said casually: "Impossible, Lord Zhizhou has always been a ...... who doesn't care about government affairs."

"Hahaha, it's not that I don't care, but I can't manage it! The place is controlled by Hu Bin and Sun Yafang, and the people of Zhizhou can't interfere. Let's ask which official doesn't want to be in power, and is willing to be a puppet! ”

What Tang Yi said is really not bad, the magistrate is elevated, which is a common situation in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the southeast, where the family is entrenched and deep-rooted. What can a bare-handed Zhizhou do, either he will honestly listen to the mercy of the locality, or he will fight back, and there are not a few officials who have been impeached or even died in confusion over the years.

"Could it be that Lord Zhizhou is going to fight back...... "Unknowingly, Zhou Xun has been taken into the ditch by Tang Yi.

"Zhou Zhutou, tell me the truth, Lord Zhizhou has secretly told me that there are key witnesses hidden in the Hu Mansion, as long as they are found, Hu Bin will be killed with one sword!"

Tang Yi said it very firmly, it didn't look like lying at all, and Zhou Xun couldn't help but believe it.

"Little Xianggong, do you know who this witness is?"

"Lord Zhizhou has been acting for such a long time, and it is unfathomable, how could he tell me! But ......"

"But what?" Zhou Xun asked.

"Your chance to be promoted to the top of the week has arrived, it depends on whether you can grasp it!"

Tang Yi left an unfathomable smile, turned around, and knocked on the knocker hard.

Bangbangbang, the voice came into the Hu Mansion.

A few catchers followed behind Zhou Xun and asked in a low voice: "Big brother, you can't believe this kid's words!" ”

"Hmph, Lao Tzu is so easy to fool!" Zhou Xun said in his heart: "You can't believe it all, and you can't believe it." If it was really arranged by Lord Zhizhou, then Lord Chen was too powerful, Lao Tzu followed him, and the opportunity for the salted fish to turn over came......"

At this time, the door of the house opened, and an old butler poked his head out.

"What are you doing, this is the Hu family, and you dare to come casually!"

Zhou Xun greeted him with a smile and said: "Below is Zhou Xun, the head catcher of the Yamen, who was ordered by the Tang Zun, of course, Lord Hu also knows, I want to come to your mansion to check it out, let's make it convenient!" ”

The old housekeeper hurriedly went in to report, and after a while, the eldest son Hu Hui hurriedly walked out of it, and when he saw Zhou Xun, he immediately stared.

"Who am I, dare to love Lao Zhou, what are you doing here?"

"Hehe, eldest son, I came to check on people, and your father agreed!" As he spoke, Zhou Xun handed over the card ticket, and Hu Hui glanced at it and knew that it was not fake.

"I won't stop me on business, but if there is any conflict, I will definitely tell my father."

"Don't worry, no matter how bold I am, I won't dare to offend Master Hu!"

As soon as Zhou Xun beckoned, Tang Yi, along with the other catchers, rushed into the Hu Mansion. Zhou Xun stood in the middle of the courtyard with a knife in his hand, and said loudly: "Eldest son, call all the men in your mansion over." ”

Hu Hui nodded, and soon more than thirty people were standing in the middle of the courtyard, ranging from fifty or sixty-year-old workers to seven or eight-year-old children.

"Zhou Da catches heads, they are all here, which one do you look like a crime?"

Zhou Xun glanced at Tang Yi, Tang Yi smiled and shook his head.

"Naturally, there are none of these people."

"Since you don't have one, don't let me go yet!" Hu Hui said unceremoniously.

"Don't be busy, there are no of these people, it doesn't mean that others can't catch them! Come out, cousin! Tang Yi shouted with his neck raised, and suddenly more than a dozen figures poked out from the courtyard walls on both sides, and they jumped in one after another, and some of them carried two "zongzi", ran over, and threw them on the ground.

At this time, Wang Shimao walked in from the outside with his hands behind his back, not to mention how happy he was. Tang Yi asked him to ambush outside the Hu Mansion, he didn't understand what he meant at first, but it didn't take long for someone to run in through the back door as if he was a thief, and after a while, two guys with small bags on their backs ran out of it, and Wang Shimao directly asked people to take it.

Tang Yi bit to death the prisoner who hid arson in Hu Bin's house, and this knock on the mountain and the tiger really scared Hu Bin. He has been in the government for a long time, and he has many eyes and ears, so naturally someone ran home to notify him in advance. The two family members who participated in the arson of Liuhebao hurriedly fled, who knew that their run happened to fall into the hands of Wang Shimao.

"Wang Jingmei, what do you mean?" Hu Hui couldn't help but be angry and afraid.

"I don't know what it means, what a mallet!"

Wang Shimao didn't bother to pay attention to him at all, gave two thumbs up, and praised: "Cousin, you are really clever, little brother admires!" ”

Tang Yi smiled slightly: "Cousin, this is the beginning, there are more interesting things in this mansion." ”

"Oh? Seriously? ”

"That's nature, if you don't believe me, I'll look for it!"

"Stop!" Hu Hui panted like a cow, stretched out his arms, and blocked in front of Tang Yi, with fire in his eyes.

"The back house is full of female dependents, which alarmed them, I, I let you walk around without eating!"

"Haha! What a majesty! Wang Shimao didn't care about Hu Hui's threat, and smiled contemptuously: "You said that the backyard is full of female dependents, how can I remember that you still have a younger brother, where is he?" ”

"He's gone to drop incense!" Although Hu Hui was not slow to react, the panic in his eyes could not deceive others.

Tang Yi became more and more firm in his judgment, just to find out that person quickly, it was not easy!

Suddenly, he saw a young scholar in his early teens beside the family, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, but very shabby clothes, and the others obviously looked down on him. This little scholar kept peeking at the official, looking like he wanted to speak, but he was scared.

It's you, the fortresses are all broken from within.

Tang Yi hurriedly ran over and reached out to pull the little scholar, but the little scholar was so frightened that he hurriedly withdrew his hand.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person, I was sent by Lord Qingtian to help you!"

"You, can you really help me?" The little scholar asked timidly.

"Of course, haven't you seen so many officials, and so many good men, they are all good people, and they specialize in punishing bad guys!"

The little scholar's eyes suddenly lit up, and he blurted out, "Can you help Sister Hongxia?" ”

As soon as he heard this name, Hu Hui suddenly shook his whole body and scolded: "Xiao Linzi, say it again, I will hang you in the stable and starve to death!" ”

"What a majesty! Cousin, please let Hu Gongzi shut up first, so as not to scare the child. Tang Yi said, Wang Shimao was not polite at all, and with a wave of his hand, two subordinates rushed up and covered Hu Hui's mouth, only making a whining sound. He looked at Zhou Xun frequently, but the Zhou catcher was wandering out of the world, as if he hadn't seen anything, and almost made Hu Hui angry.

Tang Yi lowered his head and asked, "Your name is Xiao Linzi, right, was Sister Hongxia you said killed by them?" ”

"Blood, a lot of blood, Sister Hongxia cried in pain, and the woman beat her. Only Sister Hongxia is the best for Xiao Linzi, and Xiao Linzi wants to avenge her! The little scholar's tears fell one after another.

Tang Yi's eyes lit up, and he said: "Xiao Linzi, my brother helped you take revenge, you tell your brother, where is that woman?" ”

She ...... She's a goblin! ”

Tang Yi held his breath and almost flashed his waist, "Xiao Linzi, how can she be a goblin?" ”

"She, she ran to the back garden and disappeared!"

Tang Yi's eyes lit up, grabbed Xiao Linzi, and said, "You lead the way for my brother, my brother knows spells and specializes in dealing with monsters!" ”

Xiao Linzi nodded excitedly, he ran away, Tang Yi followed closely, Wang Shimao and Zhou Xun followed with the family catcher.

Arriving at the back garden in one breath, Xiao Linzi pointed to the rockery in front of him, and said crisply: "That's it!" ”

Tang Yi hurriedly ran over and looked around, nothing unusual, but when he stepped on the ground with his foot, he made a hollow echo.

"That's it! Dig for me! Tang Yi seemed to be constipated for half a month, and suddenly unblocked, and roared excitedly.

A few of the family members drew their swords and swords, and the soldiers ponged, and after a few moments, there was a sudden noise, and the covering of the ground fell, revealing a step.

The crowd was just about to go down, when suddenly a woman rushed out, disheveled, and half of her snow-white arms were exposed.

"You are ......" As soon as she saw the official errand, she was suddenly choked by the neck and couldn't speak.

"Hahaha, Hu Shi, you pretended to be dead and pretended to be the end, let's go to court with the master!"

……………………

I'm going to smack my mouth, let's count the votes!
