"Impossible! That's impossible! When pigs fly! Frame! This is someone deliberately framed! It is absolutely impossible for Murong Qi to be a thief! No way! ”

After reading the copy of the letter written by Yuancheng County Ling Murong Qi to Meng Haigong, the head of the Jiyin thief, Yuan Bao simply had a feeling of wanting to go crazy, in addition to feeling unbelievable, he still felt extremely ridiculous, and said in a loud voice: "Deputy Envoy Chen, this is absolutely impossible!" Xiaguan and Murong Yan are world friends, I know who he is, and I may believe him if he Murong Yan committed other things, but I don't believe him when he secretly communicates with the traitor Meng Haigong! Murong Yan is not such a person! ”

"Don't hide it from Yuan Juncheng, and the lower officials also feel very unbelievable." Chen Yingliang said very sincerely: "After Xiaguan and Ambassador Zhang Xutuo joined forces to break through the Menghai Thief City, Xiaguan led the army to chase and kill the head of the Meng Hai Thief, and found the original of this letter from the package left by the head of the Meng Hai Thief, Xiaguan also felt unbelievable at the time, and felt extremely ridiculous, the distance between the Menghai Thief City and Yuancheng was more than two hundred miles, how could the Murong County Commander secretly communicate with the head of the Meng Hai Thief and make an appointment to start an incident?" ”

"yes!" Yuan Baobao hurriedly nodded and agreed: "What Deputy Envoy Chen said is extremely true, Yuancheng and Menghai Thief City are hundreds of miles apart, how can they secretly collude and make an appointment to make an appointment?" ”

"yes, that's what I thought at first." Chen Yingliang also nodded, and also echoed Yuan Baobao, and then suddenly said: "But after Xia Guan suddenly remembered someone, he felt that this matter was not ridiculous, on the contrary, it was very possible!" ”

"Who did Vice Envoy Chen remember?" Yuan Bao was taken aback.

"Hu Sizheng!"

Chen Yingliang categorically pronounced out this name, which made Yuan Baobao suddenly shudder. Glancing at the Yuan Treasure whose face was already a little pale, Chen Yingliang said slowly: "Yuanjun Cheng, I think you have also heard about Hu Sizheng, the former squire of the military department, when the rebel Yang Xuangan rebelled and rebelled, Hu Sizheng was in Liaodong at the time, and Liyang, the place where Yang Xuangan rebelled against the thief, was separated by thousands of miles, but Hu Sizheng still secretly colluded with Yang Xuangan's rebel thief, and the wolf bèi was a traitor, and privately indulged Yang Wanshuo and Yang Xuanzong The two thieves went south, in order to harm the Great Sui Jiangshan Sheji!" ”

"Yuanjun Cheng, think about it, thousands of miles apart, Yang Xuangan and Hu Sizheng are still able to wolf bèi as traitors, the inside should be outside, Murong County Ling and Meng Haigong more than two hundred miles away are secretly colluding with the rebels, making an appointment to rebel, what is impossible?!"

Hearing Chen Yingliang's far-fetched and nonsense words, Yuan Baobao's expression suddenly became even more sluggish, and he muttered after a while: "It's ......, but, Murong Yan is Murong Sanzang's own nephew, but after a famous family, how can he collude with the thieves?" ”

"Yuan Juncheng, you're not kidding, are you?" Chen Yingliang said with a face full of surprise: "Murong Yan was born in a famous family, so it is impossible for him to commit treason? According to this logic, then Yang Gongdao, the brother of the current emperor's former Han King Yang Liang and Yang Xiong's son of Guan Wang, shouldn't he rebel and rebel? ”

Hearing that Chen Yingliang had brought out Yang Liang and Yang Gongdao, the two best of the imperial relatives, as examples, Yuan Baobao immediately shuddered, and quickly closed his mouth again, knowing that he must not be entangled on this topic, otherwise, once it is found out that Murong Yan really has some secret collusion with Meng Haigong, he will definitely not be able to escape for the capital crime of harboring thieves! But fear is fear, but Yuan Baobao still said that he didn't believe Murong Yan and the thief, and hurriedly asked: "Deputy Envoy Chen, the original letter is there, and the lower official wants to check whether it is forged." ”

"As a precaution, the original letter was left by me in the camp of the county of Menghai City." Chen Yingliang replied casually, and couldn't wait to agitate: "Yuan Juncheng, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for meritorious service, it's a pity to miss it." You order the arrest of Murong Yan now, and then we will escort Murong Yan to the battlefield of Menghai City, show his ironclad evidence of thieves in front of Ambassador Zhang, verify his crime of conspiracy against thieves, and then write the case into a chapter, and report it to His Majesty the Emperor. ”

Yuan Baobao was stunned again, looked at Chen Yingliang and suddenly came to his senses, and asked in a low voice: "Deputy Envoy Chen, do you want to bypass Ambassador Zhang and monopolize this credit?" ”

"Yuan Juncheng is really smart, but he is wrong." Chen Yingliang smiled and said, "Xia Guan doesn't mind sharing the credit with you equally, he just wants to bypass Ambassador Zhang." Please also rest assured that Ambassador Zhang, Ambassador Zhang, I will bear it alone, you help me with this favor slightly over Ambassador Zhang, if there is a chance in the future, the next official will go to the soup to fight the fire, tie the grass and ring, and repay the kindness of Juncheng. ”

"Damn, it turns out that this kid wants to take credit from Zhang Xutuo." Yuan Baobao suddenly realized, knowing that Chen Yingliang deliberately did not let Zhang Xutuo report this matter, in order to preemptively take down Murong Li, who was suspected of collaborating with thieves and plotting rebellion, to prove that he was more capable than Zhang Xutuo and more loyal to Emperor Yang of Sui, and then even wanted to overturn Zhang Xutuo, the commander-in-chief of the bandits, to the ground and replace him! -- This kind of deceitful thing between colleagues, Yuan Bao has not only seen it, but also done it!

The southern line of Wuyang County borders three counties of the twelve counties of Henan Province, and there are many official exchanges between each other, looking at the face of Chen Yingliang's deputy commander-in-chief of the twelve counties of bandits, if Chen Yingliang asks for other officials, Yuan Bao is likely to help Chen Yingliang with this favor and share some credit by the way, but Chen Yingliang just asked to catch his world friend Murong Yan, and Yuan Bao will inevitably hesitate again.

In view of this situation, after thinking about it for a long time, Yuan Baobao hesitated and said: "Deputy Envoy Chen, it's not that the lower official doesn't help you with this, it's that your evidence is insufficient, if you bring the original letter of Murong Li's thief and find out that the letter is not forged, then without the deputy envoy's orders, the lower official will personally take someone to arrest Murong Yan and bring him to justice." But what you brought was a copy ....... ”

"It's okay." Chen Yingliang interrupted Yuan Baobao's prevarication, and said with a smile: "It just so happens that the lower officials are here, and they happen to find another ironclad evidence of Murong Li's collaboration with thieves, we can use this ironclad evidence to take down Murong Yan first, and then investigate his secret collusion with Meng Haigong's traitors." ”

"Another piece of ironclad evidence?" Yuan Baobao was suddenly even more dumbfounded, and hurriedly asked, "Deputy Envoy Chen, what kind of ironclad evidence?" ”

"In Dong'e County, Jibei County, under the rule of Xia Guan, there is a righteous man named Cheng Yanjin." Chen Yingliang said with a smile: "After he was an official eunuch, he organized the township warriors to protect the township in the sixth year of the great cause, and often helped the Jibei officials and soldiers to kill thieves and bandits, and fought bravely. A few days ago, he saw injustice on the middle road in this Yuan County, rescued the folk girl who was molested and humiliated by the evil youth, was beaten by the evil youth's entourage, and was forced to fight back to defend himself, and accidentally killed the leader of the evil young ....... ”

Speaking of this, Chen Yingliang paused, and said with a smile: "Yuanjun Cheng, you are the head snake of the ground, you must have known who this evil young man is, so I won't be verbose." Please think about it, Murong Yan and his son have done so many immoral things, he not only did not discipline strictly, but also deliberately indulged, after his son was punished for his evil deeds, he Murong Yan not only did not repent at all, but also deliberately arrested and imprisoned Cheng Yanjin, a righteous soldier who had made meritorious contributions to killing thieves, with the intention of harming him - what is this trying to avenge his unfilial son? Or do you want to avenge those thieves who died at the hands of Cheng Biting Jin? This is not ironclad evidence of his conspiracy against the thief, and what is it? ”

Yuan Baobao was completely dizzy, and after thinking for a long time, he came to his senses, and asked in surprise: "Deputy Envoy Chen, do you mean that you suspect that Murong Yan arrested that Cheng Yanjin in order to avenge the thieves who died in the hands of Cheng Yanjin?" ”

"Exactly." Chen Yingliang nodded solemnly.

"Deputy Envoy Chen, you're too far-fetched, aren't you?" Yuan Baobao smiled bitterly and said, "Is there such a case in the world?" ”

"If there is a suspicion, it must be thoroughly investigated, who doesn't handle the case like this?" Chen Yingliang asked with a surprised expression, and said, "My grandfather Wei, and my Uncle Pei, are they all handling cases like this?" If you find that there are clues and suspicions, you must investigate them thoroughly, and if you don't find out a lot, Grandpa Wei and Uncle Pei will definitely not stop. ”

"Deputy Envoy Chen's Grandpa Wei? Uncle Pei? Who are they? "Yuan Bao is a little confused again.

"Grandpa Wei of the lower official is Wei Xuan, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, and my Uncle Pei is the imperial historian Pei Yun." Chen Yingliang said casually: "They all treat me as if I were in person, I have been taught a lot by them, and I have come into contact with a lot of their case-handling methods. So Yuanjun Cheng, please rest assured, my logic definitely makes sense in front of them. ”

Yuan Baobao didn't know what expression to use to deal with Chen Yingliang, and only after a while did he give up his hand and say: "Deputy Envoy Chen, I'm sorry, your charge is too far-fetched, and it is difficult for the subordinate officials to accept it, and they can't obey it." ”

Chen Yingliang's face finally changed, and he snorted: "Yuan Juncheng, in this way, do you want to help the lower officials?" ”

"It's not that the subordinate officials are unwilling to serve the deputy envoy, it's that the subordinate officials are unable to obey their orders." Yuan Baobao said without fear: "If Deputy Envoy Chen can come up with a piece of evidence of Murong Yan's illegal crimes, the lower officials will definitely arrest him Murong Yan immediately." But this far-fetched charge, as well as the copy of this thief's document, does not. ”

Chen Yingliang was waiting for Yuan Baobao's words, and immediately pretended to be angry, stood up violently and shouted: "Okay! Since Yuanjun Cheng, you must have ironclad evidence of Murong Yan's crimes, ready-made evidence of crimes, I have it! He Murong Yan was so bold that he dared to set up his son's mourning hall on top of the county government hall, which greatly dishonored the dignity of the court and regarded the law of the court as nothing, isn't this ironclad evidence of his lawlessness? ! and his son Murong Ji, relying on his Murong Yan's power to run rampant and do many evils, Murong Ji deliberately shielded and connived, violating the law of the country, how many such people need me! Yuan Juncheng, are these enough?! ”

The sweat of Yuan Baobao was dripping down, but Chen Yingliang shouted again: "Yuan Juncheng, if you are unwilling to take down Murong Yan, you can do it!" I don't have the right to ask you to take people, but I have the right to truthfully play Murong Yan's accumulated crimes to the court, so I will show Murong Yan's evil deeds and the ironclad evidence that he is suspected of being a thief to the court, and ask the current saint to investigate thoroughly! At that time, Yuan Juncheng, what will happen to you, you have to think clearly! ”

Yuan Baobao's face is as white as paper, his family knows his own family affairs, how unclean Murong Yan's ass is, and the Yuan Bao who is an official in the same city as Murong Yan knows better than anyone else, if Emperor Yang of Sui really sends someone to investigate thoroughly, then don't say that Murong Yan will definitely fall to the ground, and Yuan Bao will definitely not be able to run away from the charge of covering up and conniving! It is also possible to pull out the radish and bring out the mud, so that the ingot treasure that is also very unclean has more bad luck, and it is possible to go to prison!

Observing the words and looking at the color and finding that the Yuan Treasure was already empty, Chen Yingliang grabbed the wrist of the Yuan Treasure again, dragged the Yuan Treasure and walked out, and said angrily: "Yuan Juncheng, let's go, let's go to the county office, see how bold he Murong Lu is, see how he Murong Lu treats the law of the court as a child's play, and also see how he Murong Lu deceives the monarch and humiliates the emperor!" By the way, his mourning hall has been in the county hall for a few days! ”

"Deputy Envoy Chen, there is something to say, something to say." Yuan Baobao became even more timid, and hurriedly struggled to salute and salute, and begged: "Deputy Envoy Chen, you and I are both officials of the imperial court, it is too undignified to pull like this, and it will damage the official body, the deputy envoy please calm your anger, if you have something to say, we can discuss anything." ”

"Yuan Juncheng, it's not that I deliberately embarrassed you." Chen Yingliang said angrily: "Originally, I was appointed as the deputy envoy of these twelve counties, and I still have to rely on you to help me in quelling the chaos and destroying the thieves, so I don't want to have any contradictions with you." But this Murong Yan under your command is not very good, even if you run rampant in the township, even if you frame and frame the unjustly quelling the rebels, you even dare to secretly contact Meng Haigong and the traitors, plotting against the wrongdoers, such corrupt officials and tyrants are not eliminated, and the national law is intolerable! ”

"Deputy Envoy Chen, please calm your anger, let me think, please let me think about it." Yuan Bao bowed and bowed, begging Chen Yingliang to give him a little time to think about it, Chen Yingliang let go of Yuan Bao and waited for Yuan Bao's reply angrily.

After racking his brains for a moment, Yuan Baobao still felt that he should choose to lose his pawn and protect the car, because if this matter continues to make a big fuss, he will definitely have no good fruit to eat, and the trouble will go to Emperor Yang of Sui, Emperor Yang of Sui will send someone to investigate the matter thoroughly no matter what, and when the time comes, Murong Li, who has a very unclean buttocks, will end up with his head falling to the ground, and he will not run away from the charge of covering up and conniving. And once it is really found out that Murong Yan is a thief, and he really has secret contact with some thief and thief, then his fate is as simple as dismissal from office, killing his head and copying his family, and even copying all over the house is absolutely possible!

There is a more critical point, as a court official with some talents, Yuan Baobao certainly knows some of Chen Yingliang's details, knows that Chen Yingliang once saved Wei Xuan's life on the battlefield of Cuihan Dao, and also knows that Chen Yingliang has been included in the Wenxi Pei clan early on, what did Wei Xuan and Pei Yun just say that Wei Xuan and Pei Yun regard him as if they were relatives, even if they brag, they are somewhat reliable, and once the matter becomes bigger, the Criminal Department and the Imperial History Observatory in the Three Law Divisions will support Chen Yingliang with a clear banner. There is only one Dali Temple left, unless it is stupid, it will offend the criminal department and the Yushitai for the sake of Yuan Bao and Murong Li, Chen Yingliang's backer covers the sky with one hand, and wants to give Yuan Bao himself and Murong Yan an What crime is it not the same as playing?

The most terrifying thing is that Pei Yun is also the world's No. 1 master of framing and framing! Speaking of fabricating charges, framing Zhongliang and entrapping innocents, if Pei Yun claims to be the second in the world, it means that even the famous traitors Yu Wenshu and Yu Shiji of the current dynasty dare not claim to be the first! At that time, as long as Pei Yun moves his mouth slightly, it will be difficult for Yuan Bao not to be copied and beheaded!

After weighing these pros and cons, Yuan Baobao finally made up his mind, and hurriedly said to Chen Yingliang: "Deputy Envoy Chen, do you think this is okay?" Under the pretext that Murong Yan was ignoring the law of the country, the lower officials immediately sent someone to arrest Murong Yan, detain him in prison, and raid his study to search for evidence of his thief. Then send someone to the south with the deputy envoy to the battlefield of Meng Hai City to collect evidence of his thief, if it is found that his crime is conclusive, and it is indeed secretly the traitor of Meng Haigong who is trying to rebel, then we will discuss how to deal with him. ”

"Yuan Juncheng said that a long time ago, isn't it okay?" Chen Yingliang finally showed a smile, and said to Yuan Baobao: "Brother Yuan forgives the sin, the younger brother is impulsively offended, I hope to forgive me." Please also rest assured, when Murong Yan's crime of thieves is found out and played to the court, the credit will be shared equally between you and me. ”

"Brother Xian's words, without Brother Xian's head-on, Brother Fool almost went astray, thank you too late, where do you dare to blame Brother Xian?" Yuan Baobao smiled bitterly and said: "As for merit, serving the imperial court is the responsibility of a foolish brother, where do you dare to be greedy?" ”

"You must give half to your brother, you must share it." Chen Yingliang hurriedly stuffed sweet dates again, and then said: "Brother, there is another thing, the Jibei righteous soldier Cheng Biting Jin, who was killed by mistake when he was forced to defend himself, what are you going to do with it?" ”

After asking, without waiting for Yuan Baobao to answer, Chen Yingliang hurriedly hinted: "Brother, the younger brother has just been appointed as the deputy envoy of the twelve counties, and he urgently needs to establish his prestige in the twelve counties. ”

"Fuck you! As soon as he became the deputy envoy, he aimed at Zhang Xutuo's position as the main envoy, and if he had the opportunity, Lao Tzu had to sue Zhang Xutuo to see how he cleaned you up! Muttering viciously in his heart, Yuan Baobao had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Rest assured, Brother Xian, Cheng Yishi saw that the road was uneven and was forced to fight back to defend himself, so he inadvertently led Murong Ji, the son of Murong Qi, to die, this foolish brother has long known, and he will definitely give him a fair treatment." ”

"Brother already knows?" Chen Yingliang pretended to be surprised.

"Not only do I know, but Brother Fool also arranged for someone to investigate the case." Yuan Baobao said a half-truth, and said without blushing: "And the foolish brother still dares to boast to you the virtuous brother, if it weren't for the official under the command of the foolish brother who has been staring at this case closely, maybe that Cheng Yishi would have been killed by Murong Yan, the dog official." ”

After the false politeness, a major event happened that shocked the entire Yuancheng, and it was usually the Wuyang County Cheng Yamen, who wore a pair of pants with the Yuancheng County Yamen, suddenly dispatched a large number of officials, and arrested Murong Yan of Yuancheng County, who was explaining to his brother-in-law to Cheng in the mourning hall, on the spot, and directly imprisoned him in the county jail! When the news spread, the whole city was in a sensation, and the people who didn't know the truth cheered, vying to celebrate the bad luck of Murong Yan, who had a bad reputation. Murong Yan's vicious wife was the owner of the six gods, so she hurriedly ran to the Juncheng Yamen to find out, but unfortunately Murong Yan's wife couldn't even enter the Juncheng Mansion this time, so she was directly stopped at the door, crying to death and not being able to see the face of Yuan Bao.

It was also after Murong Yan entered the prison that Chen Yingliang asked Yuan Bao to try Cheng Yanjin's case, and there was no way back for Yuan Bao, so he could only conclude Cheng Yanjin's case the next day, and sentenced Cheng Yanjin to a misdemeanor of self-defense and injury to death, and expelled him from the city with 80 boards - of course, under the hint of Yuan Baobao and Chen Yingliang's bribe, the so-called 80 boards are equivalent to giving Cheng Yanjin a buttocks massage with thick skin. The retinue Xiang Yong that Cheng Yanjin brought to Yuancheng was also acquitted, and even the confiscated pig iron was returned to Cheng Yanjin and others.

finally rescued Cheng Biting Jin, and Chen Yingliang, who had already achieved his goal, did not delay in Yuancheng, and directly submitted his resignation to return to Menghai City to continue to thoroughly investigate the case of Murong Yan's thief. In the end, Yuan Baobao arranged for another subordinate to accompany Chen Yingliang to the south and assist Chen Yingliang in investigating the Murong Yan case on the battlefield of Menghai City.

It was also a coincidence that Yuan Baobao arranged to assist Chen Yingliang's subordinates in investigating the case, and it happened to be the black and thin man who refused Chen Yingliang's bribe outside the prison, and after meeting Chen Yingliang again, the black and thin man didn't say a word except saluting, until he followed Chen Yingliang to the Yellow River ferry, boarded the Yanggu official ship transferred by Chen Yingliang, and after the official ship also set sail, the black thin man came to Chen Yingliang, and asked Chen Yingliang in a calm tone: "Deputy Envoy Chen, do you do it, or let the lowly post jump into the river by himself?" ”

"What do you mean by that?" Chen Yingliang was taken aback, "Good and decent, what do I want you to jump into the river for?" ”

The thin black man looked at Chen Yingliang for a moment, and then said calmly: "It seems that Deputy Envoy Chen has already made arrangements, and he is fortunate to be able to return to Yuancheng alive to hand over to the county." ”

"This guy has already seen the clues." Chen Ying's conscience understood, but he said with a smile on his face: "Why can't I understand what you are saying?" What is fortunate to be able to return to Yuancheng to make a mission, it is as if I am going to kill you. ”

The black and thin man looked indifferent, and suddenly saluted Chen Yingliang, and said, "Deputy Envoy Chen, there is a problem that I haven't understood all along, and I ask you to give me advice." Since your backer is so tough, and Cheng Biting Jin is indeed guilty of not deserving of death, why can he take the regular way to save people? Do you have to use such a vicious method? In doing so, although people were rescued, the national law of the Great Sui was trampled on again. ”

Chen Yingliang was silent, then turned to the side of the boat, walked to the side of the boat, looked at the surging Yellow River with his hands behind his back, and said slowly: "Because if you don't do this, Yuan Baobao and Murong Yan will definitely let Cheng Yanjin not live that day!" For the enemy who does not follow the rules, the only way to do so is to use the method of not respecting the rules. Countering violence with violence and fighting poison with poison are not desirable, but sometimes they are very effective. ”

"But to do so is against the law of the country!" The thin black man retorted.

"Of course, it's against national law." Chen Yingliang admitted it calmly, and said: "Some people violate the law of the country for personal gain, and some people violate the law of the country, but for the sake of the common people in the world." Some people are sloppy, flattering, and bribery, for their own sake, but some people are doing things for the sake of the world, and for the people! ”

Glancing back at the black and thin man, Chen Yingliang said lightly: "I can see that you are an upright person, and I also know that you want to do something for the court and the people, but you didn't follow the right person, as the saying goes, the upper beam is not right and the lower beam is crooked, your boss is still corrupt and perverts the law, forming a party for personal gain, you are a small official, what can you do for the court and the people?" I am not as upright as you, I have violated the law of the country, I have given and accepted bribes, but I have a clear conscience, because everything I do is to do things for the court and benefit the people, if I don't do this, I will have no chance to do things for the court and benefit the people. ”

"Some people are good people, but it's useless. Some people are wicked, but they are useful to their families and the world. Chen Yingliang turned his head again, looked at the Yellow River and said lightly: "I am a wicked person who is useful to my family and country, you are upright, you don't accept bribes, you are a good person, I hope you can be a useful good person in the future, don't be a good person who can neither seek the country nor his life, such a good person is useless, he can't save the people, and he can't save himself." ”

"Thank you." The black and thin man bowed his hand to Chen Yingliang, and said: "The humble official knows that he can't find anything out of going south this time, and he only hopes that the deputy envoy can be as consistent as he says, and be a wicked person who does things for the court and benefits the people." ”

"I can assure you that this is what I want for the rest of my life." Chen Yingliang boasted without blushing, and said: "It's a pity that you are a subordinate of Yuan Baobao, otherwise, I really want to keep you by my side, let you help me do things, and help me benefit the people." - By the way, I still forgot to ask your name, what is your name? ”

"The lowly position is called Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng Wei Xuancheng."

The thin black man replied calmly, but Chen Yingliang, who was pretending to be forced with his hands behind his back, stumbled and almost fell directly into the rolling Yellow River. You have to sue Zhang Xutuo in front of him, and see how he cleans you up! Muttering viciously in his heart, Yuan Baobao had a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "Rest assured, Brother Xian, Cheng Yishi saw that the road was uneven and was forced to fight back to defend himself, so he inadvertently led Murong Ji, the son of Murong Qi, to die, this foolish brother has long known, and he will definitely give him a fair treatment." ”

"Brother already knows?" Chen Yingliang pretended to be surprised.

After the false politeness, a major event happened that shocked the entire Yuancheng, and it was usually the Wuyang County Cheng Yamen, who wore a pair of pants with the Yuancheng County Yamen, suddenly dispatched a large number of officials, and arrested Murong Yan of Yuancheng County, who was explaining to his brother-in-law to Cheng in the mourning hall, on the spot, and directly imprisoned him in the county jail! When the news spread, the whole city was in a sensation, and the people who didn't know the truth cheered, vying to celebrate the bad luck of Murong Yan, who had a bad reputation. Murong Yan's vicious wife was the owner of the six gods, so she hurriedly ran to the Juncheng Yamen to find out, but unfortunately Murong Yan's wife couldn't even enter the Juncheng Mansion this time, so she was directly stopped at the door, crying to death and not being able to see the face of Yuan Bao.

It was also after Murong Yan entered the prison that Chen Yingliang asked Yuan Bao to try Cheng Yanjin's case, and there was no way back for Yuan Bao, so he could only conclude Cheng Yanjin's case the next day, and sentenced Cheng Yanjin to a misdemeanor of self-defense and injury to death, and expelled him from the city with 80 boards - of course, under the hint of Yuan Baobao and Chen Yingliang's bribe, the so-called 80 boards are equivalent to giving Cheng Yanjin a buttocks massage with thick skin.

"Thank you." The black and thin man bowed his hand to Chen Yingliang, and said: "The humble official knows that he can't find anything out of going south this time, and he only hopes that the deputy envoy can be as consistent as he says, and be a wicked person who does things for the court and benefits the people." ”

"I can assure you that this is what I want for the rest of my life." Chen Yingliang boasted without blushing, and said: "It's a pity that you are a subordinate of Yuan Baobao, otherwise, I really want to keep you by my side, let you help me do things, and help me benefit the people." - By the way, I still forgot to ask your name, what is your name? ”

"The lowly position is called Wei Zheng, and Wei Zheng Wei Xuancheng."

The thin black man replied calmly, but Chen Yingliang, who was pretending to be forced with his hands behind his back, stumbled and almost fell directly into the rolling Yellow River.
