"The Suppression Adults said that the flag was lost, what is in this sword box?"

After thinking about it for a long time, the old man surnamed Luo asked.

"Of the fourteen flags in Liaodong, I only lost one. There are still thirteen in the sword box. ”

"I'd like to open the box and check it, can I?"

"No, whoever touches the flag will die."

The old man surnamed Luo was silent, but his eyes staring at Li Yan were as cold as a deep stream.

After a long time, he said calmly, "If it is a matter of business, the Lord of Zhenfu loses his flag and disappoints the emperor's grace, and he should also be taken into custody by my Dragon and Tiger Yamen." ”

Li Yan was not shocked and laughed: "What you meant by what you said just now was to deliberately prevent me from retrieving the Dragon and Tiger Banner?" ”

The dragon and tiger soap service of the Heavenly Master Dao rarely has sharp teeth and sharp teeth, and the dexterous wrist of Mingzhe to protect his body only needs to be a sharp enough guillotine.

Don't see Li Yan stirring up three points unreasonably now, he has always regarded himself as a sword without a sheath to hide.

Between the three words, the smell of gunpowder in the words of the guillotine and the sword was as strong as substance.

"Ahem."

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Cao Dujian came over with a dry cough: "Mr. Luo is just joking, don't mind the calming adults." ”

The old man surnamed Luo glanced at Cao Dujian dissatisfiedly, and when he saw the latter shaking his head slightly, he had to snort coldly and stop talking.

Cao Dujian smiled bitterly in his heart, how could he not hate Li Yan's unreasonable arrogance and domineering,

But at least today, the Dragon and Tiger Yamen can't detain Li Yan.

The situation is unforgiving, and now one of the one hundred and eight flags, none of which have been safely delivered to the hands of the Heavenly Master, how can there be any reason for the government to block the flag protectors themselves?

As long as Li Yan bites everything he does, it is all to escort the flag. As long as he is not "brazenly murdering officials and conspiring against him", no matter what he does, it is a confused account. The Yazhou and county guards of various prefectures must have an attitude of not helping each other, and the Dragon and Tiger Yamen will pursue Li Yan, and they will wait until he escorts the flag to the end before liquidation.

Thinking of this, Cao Dujian laughed lightly: "According to Li Zhenfu, it was Wang Sheng who stole your flag?" ”

"I'm not sure who it is, I just know that this matter must be related to Wang Sheng's family."

Li Yan didn't say anything to death.

Cao Dujian's face was stinky, but he still spoke patiently: "This is also easy to do, right now Wang Sheng's family is here, it is nothing more than asking for a confession." As a local governor, I can call the shots, and if the person involved in the Qipai case in your mouth is in your mouth, the Lord Zhenfu can take him away, but if it has nothing to do with the Qipai case, he must be detained by the Dragon and Tiger Yamen for the crime. ”

"There is some truth to it, so let's ask the case."

As soon as Li Yan was about to speak, Cao Dujian arrived first: "There are fox ghosts in Wang Sheng's family, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, the Dragon and Tiger Yamen controls all demons and demons, and it should be me who asks about the case." ”

Li Yan shook his head and said: "The matter involves the Dragon and Tiger Banner, and the flag protector has the right to engage in it cheaply, not to mention that I am the fifth grade, and you are the ninth grade, so it should be me who asks the case." ”

Cao Dujian did not let go, "Lord Zhenfu has forgotten, since the ancestor, the military generals have been controlled by civil officials, and you have not necessarily had the right to be in charge of the five products." ”

"It's really a joke, dare to ask what year Jinshi Cao Dujian is? Chengzu regulated the civil officials and controlled the military attachés, you are a Taoist priest and a nine-grade eunuch, and there is a lower grade than the Dianshi County Cheng, what kind of civil official is it? ”

Li Yan didn't want to let it.

Cao Dujian suppressed his anger and roared: "Lord Zhenfu, if you want someone from me, you can't ignore the rules at all!" ”

Li Yan stretched out his face: "Okay, it's up to you to ask!" ”

Saying that, Li Yan glanced at Wang Sheng deeply: "Wang Sheng, stealing the flag is a serious crime, and this official is only suspicious of you." What is the truth, you have to think clearly word by word, if there is anything wrong, this official will not be able to save you. ”

After that, he stared at Cao Luo and the other Sensen's gaze and stepped aside.

Cao Dujian turned his head and asked sharply: "Wang Sheng, have you ever stolen the dragon and tiger flag escorted by Li Zhenfu." ”

Wang Sheng listened to it for so long, and he already had a plan in his heart.

"Back to the capital prison, I have never stolen the flag."

Cao Dujian squinted: "So, the loss of the flag has nothing to do with your family?" ”

"Definitely. I once saw my wife and concubine playing with a strange thing, like a flag. ”

Wang Sheng replied.

The old man surnamed Luo suddenly took the lead: "What does that flag look like?" ”

Wang Sheng was not in a hurry: "The sky is too dark, I didn't see it clearly, I only knew that it didn't look like my family's things, and when I asked my wife and concubine, I only said that it was beaten in the jade shop." ”

The old man surnamed Luo gritted his teeth, but he was helpless.

"Okay."

Cao Dujian let out a sigh of relief: "Since Wang Sheng kept saying that he had seen the flag in the hands of the fox ghost. Mr. Luo, first hand over the captured fox ghost to Li Zhenfu for disposal. ”

Li Yan listened, took a few steps forward to the old man surnamed Luo, and stretched out his hand.

The old man surnamed Luo was unwilling, but he was helpless, he pasted a vermilion purple talisman on the black tripod, and handed the small tripod to Li Yan.

"Mr. Luo understands the righteousness, and Li admires it."

Li Yan honestly and unceremoniously took it.

"Okay, since the matter of the Lord of the Suppression is over, then please take the first step of the Lord of the Suppression, and don't interfere with the handling of the case of the Dragon and Tiger Yamen again."

Cao Dujian said coldly.

Li Yan turned around and asked him: "The fox ghosts are gone, what case are you handling?" ”

Cao Dujian pointed at Wang Sheng: "Wang Sheng, a hundred households of the Yamen, as an official, knows the demon and does not report it, and fails to live up to the emperor's grace, according to the law, he will be punished with a rod for eighty years and exiled for three thousand miles." ”

"How do you know that Wang Sheng knows the demon and doesn't report it?"

"He admits it to himself."

Li Yan had red lips and white teeth, but he didn't forgive people: "Wang Sheng is standing here, why don't you ask again in front of me?" ”

Cao Dujian's cheeks twitched: "What does Lord Zhenfu mean today is that Wang Sheng of the Hu clan and the Cai clan of the Hu family, I can't move even one today?"

Li Yan held the black tripod in his hand, and his tone sank: "What if I say yes?" ”

"Li Zhenfu! You and I are the same officials as me, and I will give you enough face for favors. Cao Dujian finally couldn't bear it anymore: "But do you really think that my dragon and tiger yamen are muddy?!" ”

A group of dragon and tiger soap servants stepped forward, and the momentum was violent.

Cao Dujian felt that Li Yan was simply a madman.

The court has always had its own set of rules for doing things, and it is necessary to talk about human feelings, face, and legal principles. If Huang Longzhi wants to protect Wang Sheng, he must first use a "unknowing" pretext to cover his shame.

But this Li Zhenfu only relied on a few dragon and tiger flags, and he actually wanted to poke the face of the dragon and tiger yamen into a few big holes.

How dare a five-grade Zuo Si Zhenfu, take the title of "Dragon and Tiger Banner", and brush the tiger whiskers of the Heavenly Master one after another.

How dare he be so reckless? What will happen to his life in the future?

Wang Sheng seemed to open his mouth to say something, but Li Yan glared, and finally had to swallow the words into his stomach.

Li Yan looked around and softened his tone: "Speaking of which, I don't have to go around in circles with Cao Dujian anymore, there are some words that can come out of my mouth and into your ears, and when I go out of this door, I will no longer recognize what I said." ”

After that, he actually put Heiding in the hands of Wang Sheng!

Li Yan faced the people in the Dragon and Tiger Yamen: "Li dares to ask, since Cao Dujian came to the door today, he relied on legal principles, is it sophistication, or face?" ”

Cao Dujian sneered: "Jurisprudence, sophistication, face." Which one of the dragon and tiger yamen is not occupied? ”

Li Yan replied: "If it is a legal principle, the government must always have a bitter master when handling a case, I just want to ask, who is the bitter master of this case?" ”

"It's Wang Sheng's mother, Lei, beating the drum and singing grievances."

Li Yan looked at the old woman on the side.

The clinker Lei clan knelt down at Cao Dujian and shook again and again: "Lord Cao, it's the people's women who are confused, the people's women don't tell anymore, and the people's women don't dare to sue anymore." ”

Cao Dujian was furious: "Bastard, is this a matter of telling if you say suing, and if you don't sue, you won't sue." ”

Li Yan interrupted him: "Then there will be no bitter master!" It is not relying on legal principles to handle cases. Relying on the sophistication of human feelings, foxes and ghosts harm people, the Wang family is still stable and prosperous, and the dragon and tiger yamen intervene, but the family is ruined and the wife is separated, what kind of human sophistication is this? And if you rely on face......"

Li Yan made a deep gesture: "There are not many brothers under me who have life friendships, and even fewer who remain in the world. Li understands that I can protect the Wang family for one day, but I can't protect them for a lifetime, the Heavenly Master is hot, and I have no way to protect his family. I'm a calf protector, and I'm unreasonable, I admit it. Today, I hurt your Cao Dujian face, or hurt the face of the Dragon and Tiger Yamen, even if I hurt the face of the Heavenly Master, please count Cao Dujian this account on my Li Yan's head. Cao Dujian can write a recital to impeach me now, and I will bear what it has to do with it. Just don't embarrass my little brother anymore, just be a ......"

Li Yan looked at the many dragon and tiger soaps: "It's just a little incense that I wiped the butt of that Shouhan." Of course, Cao Dujian can not admit it, then I can only insist, I lost the dragon and tiger flag, and I want to take the Wang family back to investigate the case. I don't know what Cao Du wants? ”

“……”

Cao Dujian was silent for a long time before he snorted: "Li Zhen cares for his teeth, I will handle the case impartially, and you will become a cool official bully who oppresses the good." ”

Li Yan responded with his fists clenched: "The people's hearts are like iron, not like iron, and the official law is like a furnace." Shengdou Xiaomin is blind, only knows his own grievances and hatreds, where can he understand the difficulty of maintaining the national weapon, Li Mou is embarrassed today, Cao is imprisoned. ”

Cao Dujian pointed at Li Yan: "You wait for me to participate in your excerpts!" ”

After that, he turned around and left, and as soon as he did the dragon and tiger soap service, you look at me, I will look at you, and he also followed Cao Dujian away.

Li Yan just breathed a sigh of relief, and he was about to take the vermilion sword box standing in the courtyard, when the old man surnamed Luo, who had already walked out of the door, suddenly stood still and pinched the trick with his hand, but when he saw that the vermilion purple talisman on the black tripod in Wang Sheng's hand suddenly burst out of a red flame, Wang Sheng didn't have time to react, but the red flame had already been taken away by Li Yan.

Bang!

Li Yan held the flame and slammed his palm into the vermilion sword box, only to hear the sound of water vapor exploding, and the red flame was snuffed out.

Li Yan looked at his blistered right hand again, spat and turned his head and rushed out of the door!

"Luo Lao!"

Cao Dujian felt the unusual fluctuation of dragon and tiger qi, and it was too late to stop drinking.

Li Yan, who turned out of the door, rushed to the old man surnamed Luo, and his blistered right hand grabbed the neck of the old man surnamed Luo, as if carrying a straw, lifting him into the air and hitting the wall.

"Li Zhenfu!"

Cao Dujian raised his hand to stop Li Yan.

Li Yan's facial features were solemn, and Sen Ran's murderous aura was like waves washing over the earth.

He turned his face to look at the dragon and tiger soap servants, and his eyes were bright golden vertical pupils as bright as torches. The majestic pressure made the dozens of dragon and tiger soap servants present not even have the courage to pinch the talisman paper.

The great pressure made Cao Dujian unable to say another half a sentence, and he was shocked to realize that this five-grade Zuo Si Zhenfu had been able to protect the Dragon and Tiger Banner all the way, and what was the result of the resentful Five Immortals outside the Guanhai Sea......

"Haha."

Li Yan's face suddenly turned from anger to laughter, and for a moment it was like a spring breeze, and the pressure that pierced people's hearts like iron just now disappeared.

He pinched the neck of the old man surnamed Luo and threw him back into the soap service, and said with a smile: "The people of Cao Dujian like to joke, and I am not a person who can't afford to joke, but I am used to using my strength and can't be provoked." Don't have a next time. ”

There was a young soap servant who supported the old man surnamed Luo, but Luo Lao's face was like dripping blood, he couldn't breathe, he couldn't breathe, and he wanted to go into shock.

Cao Dujian was annoyed in his heart, he faced Li Yan, and said hatefully: "Li Zhenfu deserves the good name of the reincarnation of Wuqu Xingjun, but there are mountains outside the mountain, and the matter of foxes and ghosts is not discussed. ”

He hugged Luo Lao, covered his sleeves and said, "Go." ”

Li Yan didn't care about the Sun Delong in Cao Dujian's mouth, he stared at Cao Dujian's people and really left, before he turned around and entered the door of the palace, only to see Wang Sheng kneeling on the ground and begging bitterly, while the Lei family just cried and didn't want to answer.

The black tripod fell to the ground, the rune paper on it was torn clean, and Cai and Hu knelt side by side, not daring to say a word.

Li Yan came in, and everyone looked at him.

"It's the people of the Fang Cai family who are present, and there is a lot of inconvenience, and the descendants are Li Yan to meet Mrs. Wang."

Li Yan bowed deeply to the Wang clan.

"Don't torture the people's women, the adults saved my family, and the people's women buckled the heads of the adults."

After all, the Lei family still knew who saved his family from the catastrophe, how dare Li Yan visit her, she knelt on the ground, Wang Sheng also knelt down after him, Li Yan helped the Lei family up, and then asked: "So far, what does the old lady think?" ”

The Lei clan shook his head in a hurry: "The people are ignorant, please show me." ”

Li Yan smiled, and then thought about it and said, "Home and everything is prosperous." ”

Lei Shi was stunned for a moment, and then only lowered his head and said nothing.

Seeing this, Li Yan immediately said, "Old lady, can I pull them out and say a few words?" ”

Lei glanced at Hu Cai, who was low-browled and sleepy-eyed, in horror, and nodded again and again.

Li Yan glanced at Wang Sheng and walked out of the door, Wang Sheng buckled three heads at the Lei clan before coming out with Li Yan.

"Your Excellency. I've got you covered. ”

Wang Sheng looked dejected.

"I say, listen."

Li Yan looked at the three of their wives and concubines.

"Although the lord commands, even if he goes to the soup and fires, he will never shirk his humble position."

"Don't talk about that." Li Yan scolded before asking: "I forced you to ask you that day, but you didn't tell the truth, you really like your wife and concubine, even if she is a fox ghost." ”

Hu Cai's tears rippled, Wang Sheng did not hesitate, and nodded silently.

"Okay, listen, you should immediately write a plea now, ask the court to remove you from your official position, and then rush back to your hometown in Tongzhou, and wait for the government to reply."

"Yes."

"How to settle your wife and concubines, you have to figure it out by yourself, and how to appease your sixty-year-old mother, you also think about it yourself!"

"Yes."

Li Yan looked at Cai again: "Do you remember me?" ”

Cai Shi nodded hurriedly: "The women don't dare to forget to calm the adults. ”

"The godsister you recognized in Setshan is the Setshan girl, has she ever come to look for you?"

Cai Shi was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "No." ”

"Okay, I won't say much about it, you two now know that your husband has an old boss like me, what is there to be careful about, put it away early, otherwise, don't say anything unexpected."

Li Yan said that there were two people in his mouth, but his eyes were staring at the Hu family.

Hu Shi flattened his mouth: "The folk woman is sincere and wants to live with Shenglang." ”

"That'll be fine."

Li Yan said perfunctorily.

"Your Excellency." Hu Shi raised his head: "My lord, but Li Zhenfu who made trouble in the Bohai Sea a few days ago?" ”

"Yes, what are you going to do?"

Hu Shi buckled his head and said: "The folk woman was originally a wild fox in Heilugang, Jiaozhou, a few days ago I listened to the nagging of my children and grandchildren, and a young ancestor came to Jiaozhou, who was Hu outside the Guan, and the folk woman thought, it may have something to do with you. ”

"What's his name?"

"Hu Sansheng."

Li Yan hooked the corners of his mouth: "I know, you have a heart, get up." ”

"Your Excellency." Hu still can't afford it.

"How?"

"I beg the adults to help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and save the life of my family."
