"Wang Sheng, we don't want to do this, but Lord Huang has spoken, and our Yamen can't protect you."

Zuo Qianhu had a straight face.

Wang Sheng barely squeezed out a smile: "There are a few brothers." ”

Zuo Qianhu had a cold face: "Violating the king's law and disobeying the boss, who is a brother with you." ”

Wang Sheng's eyelashes lowered and he didn't answer.

"The lock is tight! Take! ”

Left a thousand households with a mouth.

There was a servant who pulled the chains, and when Zuo Qianhu walked away, a young man whispered in Wang Sheng's ear: "Not everyone likes to fall into the well, after all, you and I are colleagues, my iron shackles are lighter, and I will let you suffer less, and I am worthy of you to invite that banquet." ”

Wang Sheng didn't look back, but said softly: "Thank you." ”

Many officials pressed Wang Sheng out of the front hall of the palace and went straight to the backyard of the dragon and tiger soap servants and other letters.

Zuo Qianhu came first, and first hugged Cao Dujian with a fist.

"Lord Cao, according to what Master Cha said, the matter of the fox and ghost is fully responsible for the matter of the Heavenly Master Dao, and it will be handed over to Lord Cao for disposal together with the prisoner Wang Sheng, and the Yamen of the Emperor will no longer ask about it. According to the cha, Lord Cha also said that he wanted me to wait and suppress him, assist all the people of the Dragon and Tiger Yamen, and kill the ghost fox demon together. ”

"Oh?"

Cao Dujian was somewhat surprised, just now in the front hall, according to the envoy Huang's expression, the intention of protecting the hundred households Wang Sheng was actually quite obvious.

As long as Wang Sheng is instructed to bite himself to death and ignores the ghost fox, there will be no so-called sin of not reporting it.

In addition, with the support of the Yamen, at best, he was not strict in governing his family and was suspended for a month.

Cao Dujian didn't want to offend Shandong's Zhensi Yamen for nothing, not to mention that Huang Longzhi was born in the Hanlin Academy, and it is unknown if he will enter the cabinet in the future.

But now, listening to the meaning of the Zuo Qianhu in front of him, is the Yamen of the Si Si going to pick a son, and he doesn't want to care about Wang Sheng anymore?

After all, Cao Dujian has done many years of demon removal and defense deeds, and he has a lot of experience.

He glanced at Wang Sheng, whose eyebrows were tightly locked, and then glanced at the expressions of regret or schadenfreude among the officials around him, and combined with the orders under Huang Long, he already knew most of them in his heart.

"Huh."

He walked over and patted Wang Sheng's shoulder, as if he said meaningfully: "There is affection and righteousness." ”

Wang Sheng didn't speak.

Cao Dujian's face was cold: "But the official law of the Mandate of Heaven can't tolerate your petty feelings!" ”

He commanded the left and right servants: "Hold him down and go to the king's house." ”

"My lord! My lord! ”

Lei Shi knelt down in front of Huang Longzhi and begged bitterly: "My son went into battle to kill the enemy at the age of fifteen, and he has made meritorious contributions!" Even if the ghost is obsessed, there is no such a big sin, my lord is gracious! Graceful, my lord! ”

Huang Longzhi was shocked and angry, he pointed out the door: "Why don't I want to be gracious?" It's the obstacle that begs for death! In the affairs of the Dragon and Tiger Yamen, the Yamen in various places have no right to interfere. The authority of the Heavenly Master Dao is heavy, and the criminal name of my province must also be cautious! Do you want me to give up my black gauze hat and not even protect your ghost fox, and ask the dragon and tiger yamen to participate in me to disturb discipline and dereliction of duty? ”

Huang Longzhi's words are extremely serious.

Lei was just a farmer woman, shallow knowledge, she only knew the dragon and tiger yamen, but she could catch ghosts and kill demons, but she didn't expect to affect her own son.

At this step, Lei was not only afraid and remorseful, but also a little sane.

"My lord, I won't sue, I won't sue. My lord. ”

Lei understands that the most important thing is to protect his son from being assigned at the moment.

"If you don't tell you, you won't sue? You go and ask if Cao Dujian agrees! ”

Seeing that Lei Shi was kneeling on the ground, tears flowed down his face, and his expression was almost fainting with grief. After all, she is a handful of years, and the corners of her forehead are broken at the moment, and her appearance is pitiful.

When Huang Longzhi saw it, he had to snort coldly: "It's a pity that the dripping water in front of the eaves is difficult to flow backwards." The hearts of parents all over the world are fisted, and Wang Sheng actually said such rebellious words as "I am first". It shows the madness. ”

As he spoke, Huang Longzhi shook his head with a heavy face: "There are some things, if you don't go on the scale, you won't be able to weigh four or two, and you can't hold it down if you get on the scale!" Things have come to this point, and no one can do anything for him. I asked Zuo Qianhu to press him to go to the palace together, and when I went to His Majesty and Taiyi Pavilion in the future, I could do a thing or two for him. As for you, you have the skill to persuade me, so it is better to persuade your foolish son! ”

Lei Shi was at a loss, Huang Longzhi got up and left, leaving a sentence: "I can't help you, your mother and son are good at their own." ”

————————————————

Dragon and Tiger Soap Servant, together with Wang Sheng, Zuo Qianhu and other hundreds of officers and soldiers, soon arrived at the entrance of Jiaozi Lane in the south of the city, the owner of the cooked butcher shop opposite the Wang Mansion still stretched his neck to look, I don't know which family committed the accident, to dispatch so many officers and soldiers, and saw the red vest of the Dragon and Tiger Yamen, hurriedly shrunk his neck, closed the stall and entered the door.

A few gray-bearded soap servants turned around and didn't know where they went, and the others blocked the exit of the alley and stood in front of the king's house.

The door of the royal mansion was closed, and Cao Dujian was just about to step forward, but after thinking about it, he stopped his steps again.

He pointed to Wang Sheng, whose hands were bound by chains: "You come to speak." ”

Two soap servants pressed Wang Sheng to approach, Cao Dujian knocked on the door, no one replied, and patted hard, and then Hu's voice came.

"Who's calling the door?"

Wang Sheng swallowed his saliva and did not speak.

Cao Dujian pulled his collar: "Your family wants to exonerate you, but I can't ask you to paddle this water in vain, answer honestly, I will naturally open up the court in the future, if not, I want you to go around without eating!" ”

Wang Sheng closed his eyes and pondered, and the Hu family in the door was shouting again: "Who is it?" ”

"It's me."

Wang Sheng suddenly spoke.

"Hey! Who else should I be, the door is not locked, what is the door of my own house! Who? ”

Suddenly, Wang Sheng's eyes widened angrily, and his heel crushed against the boots of the soap servant behind him, and the whole person leaned back against the nose of the other soap servant, broke the lock of the two, and then rushed towards the wooden door.

"Chase!"

Zuo Qianhu shouted with red eyes. After he finished roaring, he practiced it personally, and he was more active than the dragon and tiger soap service behind him. The first one rushed in,

He rushed in, just in time to see Wang Sheng, whose hands were chained, rolled his legs tightly on the ground, and somehow, his hands were changed to his chest. The two looked at each other, Wang Sheng's hands were obviously tied, but he had the momentum of a tiger coming out, a fierce man hit Zuo Qianhu, the Zuo Qianhu also underwent drills, and the opponent was tied with his hands again, he subconsciously pulled out his waist knife, buried himself and only had time to block with the blade. All I heard was the clatter of chains and blades. Zuo Qianhu couldn't stand the strength and his eyes turned black, Wang Sheng had already stuck to him, his knees crashed into his legs, one against the other, and he wrestled, throwing Zuo Qianhu's whole back to the ground.

The back of Zuo Qianhu's head hurt, so he wanted to turn over, but the knife edge of his waist knife was already against his neck

Wang Sheng pinched the back of the knife in an extremely awkward posture, pressed his hand down, and his eyes were blood-red: "Bullshit Qianhu, with your ability, Lao Tzu will not break ten knives when he kills you on the battlefield in Pyongyang!" ”

"Wang Baihu is so capable! Look here! ”

An old voice came out of the house, Wang Sheng looked up, but a strange old man came out of the inner room of his house, wearing a red robe, holding a small black tripod stained with various colors of rune paper, and a fox scream came out of the black rune tripod.

Wang Sheng's knife edge dropped a few more points, which frightened Zuo Qianhu and screamed again and again.

"You have a great future, don't make a mistake about yourself."

The old man had a few old age spots on his face, and there was not much left of his eyebrows and hair, as soon as he finished speaking, a white shadow came out of the window, and went straight to Wang Sheng, but the old man tore off a yellow rune paper on the black tripod, and threw it towards the white shadow, only to hear a terrible woman's scream, and the yellow rune paper flew back with the white shadow, and fell straight into the black tripod.

The other dragon and tiger soap servants waited for a cadre to break in, and when Cao Dujian saw the old man, he hugged his fists and said: "Mr. Luo's sword is not old." ”

As the state religion, the Taoist is in solidarity with the country, and ordinary civil and military officials are based on the grade of the dragon and tiger, but the Taoist of the Heavenly Master uses rune paper, but there is no upper limit, the level of skills, one is the number of Dharma runes, and the other is actual combat experience.

Regardless of the few big characters in Longhu Mountain, there are not many officials in the Thirteen Provinces of the Two Capitals and the Thirteen Provinces who have been delegated by the Heavenly Master Dao, and there are not many people who have personally experienced it.

When it comes to fighting hard, the best way for the Heavenly Master Dao to fight is the old soap servants who have been destroying demons for many years and exchanging merit for talisman teachings.

For example, Zhang Shouhan, and the person in front of him.

The old man surnamed Luo shook his head: "I escaped and came in, and the mana cultivation of the fox and ghost monsters was damaged, so there must be infighting." ”

Cao Dujian snorted coldly: "There is a way to die." ”

Wang Sheng suddenly raised his head and said: "Mr. Luo, I let this person go, you let my wife and concubine leave, and now I have become a benevolent person, if you refuse, I will just pull a cushion." ”

After that, his knife had already been embedded in Zuo Qianhu's neck.

"Don't, brother, brother Wang, we've been drinking. There is a debtor and a debtor, you can't think about it. ”

Zuo Qianhu was incoherent, and he couldn't care about his face at the moment of life and death.

Cao Dujian scolded: "Are you still obsessed with this bastard? ”

Luo Lao waved his hand to stop Cao Dujian's words, and looked at Wang Sheng calmly: "Wang Baihu, I know that you are not half a lie, but I will not lie in my life." ”

As soon as he lifted the black tripod in his hand, the woman's painful roar became violent in an instant, and Hu's miserable screams made Wang Sheng's eyes split.

"You only have to kill people, you have your own yamen to judge crimes, Longhu Mountain only knows how to eliminate demons, and has never known human life."

Zuo Qianhu's heart was cold when he heard this, and he yelled desperately: "Cao Dujian, Cao Dujian, you can't ignore me!" ”

Cao Dujian's face was as usual: "Zuo Qianhu, you are seeking to do things for the country, and you are harmed by sinners, I will report to the court to ask for compensation for you, you can go with peace of mind." ”

Zuo Qianhu rolled his eyelids when he heard this, and he fainted directly.

Wang Sheng's face was like pig iron, and he couldn't see anything.

"Wang Baihu, I heard that your ghost concubine gave birth to a son for you, my heavenly master has a public opinion, if this is an example, do not hold the heir accountable, think about your child, throw the knife away."

Cao Dujian said lightly.

Wang Sheng only felt that there was a big net everywhere in front of him, and he could not split it, bite it, and be irresistible, so that he couldn't exert his strength, so that the big net contracted and twisted, suffocating himself and unable to move.

At this moment, a cry came from outside, Lei Shi hurried home, and the first time he saw Wang Sheng holding a sharp knife against the Dragon and Tiger Yamen, he only felt that the sky was falling, he couldn't speak, and his voice was hoarse, so he just threw himself down in front of Wang Sheng and cried whining.

This was the straw that broke the camel's back.

When Chang~

The knife in Wang Sheng's hand fell to the ground, and the loneliness and blood in his heart were disintegrated and broken little by little in Lei's cry. He knelt on the ground, grabbed the ground with his head, two tears soaked from the corners of his eyes to the earth, and his broad shoulders trembled.

Zuo Qianhu opened his eyes suddenly, and even got up and ran out of the door, as for the matter here, he didn't want to get involved at all.

"Take it to jail."

Cao Dujian shook his sleeves.

"Where's the receipt?"

"Nonsense, naturally it's the prison of our Dragon and Tiger Yamen."

Cao Dujian turned around, but for a while he couldn't remember what one of his ignorant soap servants asked.

"That's not good, you took away all the people, ghosts and foxes, and delayed the important affairs of the official, do you want the dragon and tiger yamen in Jiaozhou to take care of it?"

Cao Dujian suddenly recalled the owner of this voice, and raised his head in horror.

A man with a vermilion sword box on his back stood at the door, carrying a gift box of several colors.

Cao Dujian was embarrassed: "Li Zhenfu, why did you come here." ”

Li Yan threw away the gift box, walked into the courtyard, and said: "Daning Wei Zuosi calmed Li Yan and escorted the flag on the emperor's order. Steal my Dragon Tiger flag! However, all prisoners related to this case will not be taken into custody until I find the flag. ”

Wang Sheng was already groggy, but when he heard these conversations, he sobered up a little.

He felt like he had been kicked twice in the shin.

Li Yan looked down at him: "Stand up." ”

Wang Sheng trembled and propped up his shoulders, and his chapped lips couldn't help opening and closing.

Li Yan glared at him for a while, and then exhaled for a long time, and his tone softened a little: "Go aside." ”

Cao Dujian's brows jumped, just this sentence, Li Yan's position was clearly revealed.

He took a step forward: "Li Zhenfu, my Yamen of Longhu Mountain is the three divisions and nine Qings, and you can't ask about it, you are overstepping your authority, right?!" ”

Li Yan didn't back down at all: "What are you eating with your ears?" You couldn't hear me clearly just now, you said that the three divisions and nine secretaries were not allowed to ask, but what I did was not exactly your errand in Longhu Mountain? Is it important to have a different case of a folk ghost fox, or is it important that the Dragon and Tiger Banner was lost that you Dragon and Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master personally ordered to recover?! ”

Cao Du was not fooled: "You are still carrying a gift box in your hand!" You are clearly here to visit Wang Sheng! Where did the big case of the lost flag come from? ”

"Who told you it was a gift box? Wang Sheng is my old department, I suspect that he stole the flag, this is the gift he came to the door at the beginning, it is evidence of the crime! ”

Li Yan's eyes were wide open, and his momentum was awe-inspiring.

"You!"

Cao Dujian was speechless for a while.

Luo Lao suddenly spoke: "Lord Zhenfu, you have the emperor's order, so you should be more loyal to your duties!" Guo Dujian's case has spread all over the Dragon and Tiger Yamen in the thirteen provinces, the past is not settled, and the future is on the door again, don't forget, if you really lose the Dragon and Tiger flag, you will also be responsible. What's more, when you send the Dragon and Tiger Banner to the Heavenly Master Dao and unload this errand, you are just a five-grade Zuo Si Zhenfu, do you really want to be embarrassed by the Dragon and Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master Dao? ”

"When did I struggle with the Heavenly Master? I have the dragon and tiger flag, and I am bent on worrying about national affairs. Which one is not a business to do? ”

Li Yan said loudly: "Two capitals and thirteen provinces, 1808 flags, and more than 300 escort generals, now they are missing, and more than half of them have died tragically. Although I, Li, know that it is difficult and may die at every turn, I am indomitable and dare not shirk the slightest. Along the way, I slept in the open air, how many injuries I suffered, how much suffering I suffered, I knocked out my teeth and swallowed them in my stomach, and I never talked about the grievances. ”

He walked to Luo Lao's side, took off the flag behind him and stood in front of him: "What you say chills my heart." ”
