Those public officials were all well-known fierce people in the public gate, and they received two summons to arrest and went down to the court like wolves. As a result, when I arrived at the door, I saw that Song Liansheng and other genuine brocade clothes had already brought dozens of soldiers and all rushed over, those few dukes don't look fierce, they are really outside the yamen, but they don't dare to provoke so many brocade clothes, and the fool also knows that this will definitely not be beaten.

Song Liansheng said: "When it comes to arresting people, our Jinyi Wei is more expert than your officials, so let's do it together, and we won't let people rob you of your credit." lest if anyone runs away, you will not be able to account for it. ”

These officials knew that the accompaniment of this dry brocade was nothing more than to use some means on the road, so that Zhong Ah Si understood that he had to tell the truth, and if he didn't tell the truth, he would be buried in a mass grave for the whole family. But you don't agree with him going? That is, he offended Jinyiwei, which is something that only people with sick brains do, so they have no choice but to come down.

It is said that these people have been sent to the errand, and their feet are naturally not slow, but they are still one step behind after all. Zhao, a righteous citizen of this county, got the news early, and led dozens of villagers with vitality and a sense of justice, armed with knives, axes, daggers and other farm tools, and brought Zhong Asi's family to the yamen for confront.

In order to make Zhong Asi as comfortable as possible, everyone took the initiative not to let him walk along the way, but carried him up to walk, saving him most of his physical strength. In order to prevent him from falling to the ground halfway, he also deliberately reinforced it tightly with ropes to ensure that nothing went wrong.

It's just that the county only recruits Zhong Ah Si alone, and the other family members are properly protected by Zhao Yimin, and he comforts Zhong Ah Si with peace of mind: "Go to the hall, you know how to speak, if you dare to talk nonsense and deceive the eldest master, your family will go to the Dragon Palace Water Mansion for reunion." ”

During this time, Zhang Jiayin was not idle, he directly looked for the list of county officials in the official's room, and said while reading: "When the official was studying, he had a skill called not forgetting, and the future of being admitted to this jinshi also depends on this ability." I don't remember the names of the officials in our county, but who is this Liu Hu? Liu Xiancheng, can you explain it to this official? ”

Cold sweat broke out on Liu Tingxuan's forehead, this Liu Hu is his family's nephew, how can he not know who it is? Originally, he used his nephew to cover the lack of regular service after Tie Zhongying's death, anyway, no one in the Tie family took the post, and it was better to cheapen his own family if he came out with an empty position.

This kind of thing is also commonplace, and it is not a shortcoming. But his biggest mistake is that he didn't report to the county magistrate in advance, and he didn't think about the magistrate's explanation afterwards.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, a squad leader was worth a few hundred taels of silver in a year. Although he is not so rich at the moment, there is no problem in getting a few dozen taels of silver in his hand. This kind of post was originally used to make a fortune in the yamen, and whoever sells it is sold, and it is not wrong for the second master to enjoy a share.

It's just that he was confused for a while, and he was always afraid that after the county knew about it, he would have to share a benefit, and besides, there were many officials in the yamen, and there were helpers and people, etc., and he might not be able to recognize people if he wanted to come to the county. didn't know that this quota had already been approved by Zhang Jiayin to Iron Coral, and after a check, he immediately found the clue.

Li Chengzu sneered: "The one who wants to beat the coral stuffy stick just now is probably this Liu Hu." Don't say it, I'm not old, I'm not too brave, I dare to kill my woman, this friend, I must make a good friend, and the two are more and closer. ”

Liu Tingxuan knew that this was the other party's statement that this matter was not over, and he was afraid that the next step would develop to the point of cutting at the door, and he remembered the scene a few days ago when this person was fighting alone and killing the crowd. If his own clan nephew is against such a human king, a few of them will not be enough to die, so he couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding." Liu Hu, he is just reckless, and he is not evil......"

"Whether it is evil or not, the official doesn't ask, it's just that this official doesn't know about the replacement of the officer, and the official doesn't know about it from beginning to end, this slippery county yamen, it seems that the official is really not suitable to do it anymore."

Liu Tingxuan also knew that if he informed him in advance and had the county to endorse him, then this would be made up and accounted for. Even if you Yang Chengzu have a big face, at most we will have one more regular service quota to place your woman, won't it be over, it will be impossible to be endless. But just because he didn't tell the magistrate and was arrested again, Zhang Jiayin must have decided that he was a supreme official and made his own decisions.

Such an impression is more important than catching him for any crime, for a second official, getting a supreme official's comment is basically an explanation in this life. He had no choice but to say: "I will let Liu Hu resign from his official position as a government official and return to his hometown to farm." But the county honor, please take a step to speak. ”

He glanced at Yang Chengzu with his eyes, Zhang Jiayin snorted, and turned to the back hall with him, Liu Tingxuan saluted: "The lower official is indeed Meng Lang this time, and he will come to the door to apologize to the eldest master one day." But this time to clean up Yang Chengzu's affairs, you must stand on the same line with the lower officials, this is what Gonggong meant. ”

The Gonggong he said was Gong Huaien, the eunuch of Henan Town, who was the eyes and ears of the imperial court, and was responsible for purchasing various specialties in Henan on behalf of the Son of Heaven and offering them to Beijing. Its identity is almost the same as that of Qin, and he can compete with the governor of Henan, and for this small county, he does have a sense of supremacy.

When he said this, he took out a letter from his bosom, "This is a private letter sent from the yamen of the eunuch guarding the town the day before yesterday, asking me to clean up Yang Chengzu and not indulge this person's nonsense." County Zun, you have to think clearly, Gonggong is sitting in Kaifeng, he is in a high position, and the eunuchs are gloomy, and they must not be offended. Of course, Yang Chengzu has a friendship with the county honor, so he doesn't have to kill them all, as long as he hands over the Tie clan, it can be regarded as losing his face, letting him know the advance and retreat, and we won't investigate other things. ”

His statement was not only to draw Zhang Jiayin into his camp and join hands with him to advance and retreat, but also indirectly said that Lao Tzu also has a backer, you don't want to kill them all. Didn't you find out that Gong's father-in-law's letter was not given to you, but was given to me directly, proving that I am Gong's father-in-law's person, if you chase me hard, beware of my husband's power, what are you counting as a sesame official?

How do you know that it's okay if he doesn't hand over the letter, Zhang Jiayin looked at the letter, changed color, tore the letter to pieces in three or two, and threw the shredded paper to the ground with his hand. "My generation of scholars, reading Haoran books, has a lot of energy. There is righteousness in my heart, I am glamorous, demons and evil spirits cannot be violated, and I am a mere eunuch, what can I do? I didn't expect Liu Tingxuan to be a villain who clings to the eunuch, and the official is ashamed of you, so he will have to call me a brother and brother in the future, so as not to damage the reputation of the official. ”
