Chapter Seventy-Two: A Farce
"What the hell is going on?"
"Say yes......" Zheng Yuanning is a scholar, and some words are not easy to say, he muttered two sentences in Wu Keyang's ear, and clapped his hands: "As a result, it was broken by two foreigners, and this is what happened." ”
"This!" Wu Keyang hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth: "I must hold people for me, and all checkpoints and ports must be blocked, and no one is allowed to enter or leave...... What are you still doing? Arrest someone! ”
Wu Keyang shouted in a low voice.
Zheng Yuanning wiped his sweat with his sleeve: "Xiaguan will go, this will go." ”
Li Yan in the lobby rubbed his ears and leaned his back back, as if he was drunk and pretending to sleep.
"You get a session.
Facing a pot of boiling water, Cha Xiaodao's eyes were clear: "Accept." ”
"Murdered?"
Li Yan's voice came.
Cha Xiaodao put the dough into the pot, looked at the bubbling in the pot, and then smiled: "So well-informed?"
"The father of the dead ghost is Chen Tianfang, who set up a banquet to entertain me, and now on the wine table, the officials of the state capital and county government, the nobles of Nanzhili, and the governor of Caoyun sent by Beijing are sitting together, and the iron plate of Zhejiang is all on our heads."
"I'm sorry to get you in trouble."
"What words! I have nothing to do with punishing adultery and eliminating evil, since you are angry, let's make a fuss, but after all, if you are not familiar with life, you have to think about it in the long run. ”
"I listen to you."
“…… Forehead. ”
"What's wrong?"
"No, it's fine."
As soon as Li Yan raised his head, Wu Keyang just returned to the banquet with a heavy face.
On the stage is the Kun dialect "The Palace of Eternal Life", which is singing to the section of "Shocking Change".
Chen Tianfang at the banquet listened attentively, and from time to time he lit the beat, and he didn't open his eyes, but said, "Keyang, why are you so preoccupied?" ”
Wu Keyang replied: "Ah, the yamen is a trivial matter, and the teacher doesn't have to mind." ”
Mr. Tianfang opened his eyes and said to him: "In this case, I won't keep you after dinner, business matters." It's not easy for you to get famous, don't let down the emperor's grace. ”
"The teacher teaches, and the students remember every word in their hearts."
Li Yan glanced at Wu Keyang, then at Chen Tianfang, and suddenly had an idea in his heart.
"Daozi, you asked Yongchang to call the flying thunder and bring the bitter master and the corpse here."

Cha Xiaodao made noodle soup, divided three bowls, sprinkled some green onions, poured a layer of hot oil, and went back to the lobby.
The woman was fully dressed, but she looked like she had lost her soul, and she was stunned.
Shopkeeper Hao's face was wrapped in a heavy bandage, and his expression was cringe and numb.
Cha Knife put the food plate on the table and asked the woman, "What is your name?" ”
The woman came back to her senses: "The people's woman Hao Anshi." ”
Cha Xiaodao nodded: "Eat noodles." ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the shopkeeper again: "What about you?" ”
The man was trembling, and his speech was leaky: "Villain Hao Guiwang." ”
Cha Xiaodao handed Cao Yongchang a bowl.
took another bowl for himself, obviously not preparing the portion of the shopkeeper.
"Tell me the ins and outs. Who are those guys? ”
Hao Anshi trembled and raised her face, looked at Tang Shui's own face, and suddenly cried out, she knelt on the ground and kowtowed like pounding garlic: "Hero, let's go quickly, this wicked man is here to cover the sky with one hand, if you don't leave, you won't be able to get out when the official army comes to the door." ”
The shopkeeper Hao also knelt on the ground, only kowtowing and not daring to speak.
"When I ask you, you answer, 'Who are you, and who are they?'
Hao Anshi cried and couldn't speak.
Or Hao Guiwang opened his mouth first: "That person is a local gentry, Chen Tianfang's second son, Chen Dong, is a playboy who rapes and humiliates and plunders, our husband and wife only moved to Zhoushan after the year, originally thinking of opening a restaurant to make a living, but I didn't expect ......"
"The government doesn't care?"
Hao Guiwang laughed miserably: "Hero, are you pretending to be those two tolerances?" Zheng Yuanning, the magistrate of the county here, is just a house slave who comes and goes when the Chen family is summoned, and we are just a small people, where can we afford to provoke it. ”
Cha Xiaodao looked at Hao Guiwang's eyes as if he was about to eat him: "If I were willing to die!" ”
Hao Guiwang was crying while kowtowing, unable to say half a sentence.
"Nuoda's Zhoushan, Nuoda's Changguo, and Nuoda's Ningbo Mansion, can't you find an official who is the master of the people?"
"Either you will be dismissed, or you will be forced to resign, or you will die in vain. The rest dare not speak out, and if they can not be in the same stream as they are clean, they are great officials. ”
Cha Xiaodao stared at Hao Guiwang: "Now that Chen Er told me to kill, you can't escape, I ask you a soft egg, do you dare to report to the official?" ”
Hao Guiwang covered his head in pain: "It's useless to go to the county office, are you a good man to do such a thing?" ”
"We don't go to the county office. Yongchang, after eating noodles, you go to the dock and call Feilei. Zha Xiaodaodao drank the hot soup in his mouth with chopped green onions: "Let's go to the Tianfei Pavilion." ”
————————————————
Zhu Changyun raised his glass: "Before I came, I only knew that Mr. Tianfang was a gentry and a businessman who ran errands for the imperial court, but I didn't know that Mr. Tianfang also had such a deep insight into science. ”
"Lord Zhu is serious, the old man has only learned some superficial high-level handouts, he was lucky to be lifted when he was young, and he has not gone further for decades, and now he is old and faint, and he does not dare to talk about science with Lord Zhu."
Li Yan yawned secretly.
There was a sudden loud crowd at the door, and it was so lively that the Kun dialect of the platform was also stirred.
"What's going on?"
A servant stumbled, looked at Chen Tianfang on the wine table, and couldn't speak.
In front of the elegant mahogany archway of the Tianfei Pavilion, there was a couple kneeling, and the knife was driving the flatbed car, and there was a corpse on the car.
The onlookers were three layers inside and three layers outside, and some of them recognized the corpse's satin clothes, and their faces flushed with excitement, and their voices became louder and louder.
Chen Han walked out with his fists clenched, he saw the corpse in the car, his whole body was trembling, and he pointed to Cha Xiaodao, who was sitting in the car with his knees: "Lock him!" ”
There were battalion soldiers wearing round helmets, knives, guns, and firearms.
"Wait."
A large number of banquet guests poured out from the Tianfei Pavilion, and it was none other than Li Yan.
Chen Han glared at Li Yan angrily: "What does Li Zhenfu mean by this." ”
"This man is my subordinate, and if you want to take him if he breaks any law."
"He killed my brother."
Li Yan squinted at him: "I don't know where Mr. Chen is an official." ”
"I don't have an official position."
Chen Han said indignantly.
"Then how did Mr. Chen decide the case by himself, and how did he give an order, and some soldiers stepped forward to lock people. Didn't they eat the court? Li Yan looked at these soldiers with helmets and armor: "Which yamen are you soldiers?" ”
"It's a soldier from my Suzhou South Battalion."
Lin Anhou also walked out, he first glanced at Chen Er's corpse on the carriage, his eyelids jumped, and then he said to Li Yan: "Does Li Zhenfu have any opinions?" ”
"Your soldiers listen to others, will Zhou Yafu's Xiliu Battalion also listen to the words of a flat-headed people?"
When these people were arguing, Chen Tianfang was also helped out, and when he saw his son's body, he only let out a sigh, then staggered back a few steps, and was supported by everyone so that he did not fall.
Wu Keyang looked back and forth, only to see the disgraced Zheng Yuanning, he grabbed it in a few steps: "Didn't I tell you to get someone?" How did people get here! ”
Zheng Yuanning had a bitter face: "This person is so powerful, we can't stop him." ”
"That can't tell him to break into here!"
"His horse is really evil, and the servants of our yamen have no time to stop it."
Wu Keyang hatefully pulled his sleeves, and when he came to Cha Xiaodao: "Who are you?" Why are you here to make trouble? You killed the people in the car? ”
Cao Yongchang, who was on the side of the car, pouted: "This adult, there are two big living people kneeling under the archway, you can't see it, a dead body in the car is upside down and rushing forward, could it be that the adult is a vulture?" ”
"Bold, how can you intervene as a yellow-mouthed child!"
Wu Keyang was furious.
Cha Xiaodao then spoke: "The corpse behind me, relying on the evil servant, broke into the house during the day, raped the woman, and told me to bump into it, so I took care of it. ”
Wu Keyang sneered: "I only saw that the dead have a bitter master, as for the truth, how can you not believe it." ”
The whole scene was a mess, and the high-ranking officials and nobles who were usually leisurely and elegant also became angry and corrupt all of a sudden, and more of them were gentlemen and celebrities who were onlookers, most of them pointed and pointed with different expressions, and there were many happy people among them.
"That's it!"
An old roar spread throughout the door, and everyone was stunned.
Chen Tian couldn't stop coughing, he was already old, he looked even more haggard and weak, he looked around, but went straight to Li Yan.
"Li Zhenfu, this strong man is your subordinate officer?"
"Not bad."
"Is there a register?"
"In the hands of Lord Li Rumei, the commander-in-chief of Liaodong."
"Okay." Chen Tianfang turned around, threw away his crutches, and knelt down with difficulty towards Zheng Yuanning, who was angry and quail-like on the side.
Zheng Yuanning was excited, and he suddenly didn't know what to do.
"Dad, you are."
Chen Han hurried over.
Chen Tianfang shook off his hand and kowtowed to Zheng Yuanning: "Lord Zheng is a local parent official, and this case should be tried by adults." The old bitter master and the corpse are here, what is the truth, please ask Lord Zheng to find out. ”
Zheng Yuanning was filled with indignation, and hurriedly helped Chen Tian to put it up: "Mr. Tianfang, don't worry, I will definitely give your son a clean slate!" ”
Unexpectedly, Chen Tianfang clasped Zheng Yuanning's palm: "It's not about returning my son's innocence, it's about returning the innocence of the bitter master, and returning the innocence of the wronged." This case involves human life, according to my Ming law, His Majesty the Emperor of God should personally look at the crime before the crime, the reason of heaven is clear, if there is really a grievance, you will never escape the eyes of the Emperor of God! If my son really did such a thing that lost his conscience, even if he died, he would not be able to escape the blame. ”
Saying that, he smiled bitterly: "The old man has no way to teach his son, although the situation is still unclear now, but my understanding of my unscrupulous son, Li Zhenfu, a subordinate official, is probably true." ”
"Uh, uh, sir, please get up."
Chen Tianfang was helped up, his face was terrifying, and he said to Li Yan again: "Li Zhenfu, although the case has not been revealed, your subordinate official personally admitted to killing my son. According to my Ming law, unless it is a major crime such as rebellion, complication, demon extermination, or an official has a royal order banner on his body, even if he is an official of the imperial court, he cannot kill or injure people without authorization. My son is guilty or deserves death, you, a subordinate official brother, also violated the law of the Ming Dynasty, and should also be imprisoned first, and then punished after the truth is ascertained, how about calming down the will of the lord? ”
Li Yan's eyelids sank, and he unconsciously glanced at the knife.
Forced to come to the Tianfei Pavilion, it was originally to make a big deal about it, even if the Chen Ke family covered the sky with one hand, but the officials in Zhejiang still had to be cheeky. At least, they don't dare to play some tricks that are too dazzling.
After thinking about it, Cha Xiaodao began to raise his head, and then lowered his head a little, and then Li Yan gave his hand: "What Mr. Tianfang said is not unreasonable. ”
Li Yan rolled his eyes, and suddenly said: "But this brother of mine, originally from Longhu Mountain, was sent to me by the Longhu Metropolitan Prison of Liaodong, according to my Ming law, he should be taken into custody as a criminal to be a participant, he can only be questioned, not tortured, and he can also live in a cell." ”
Wu Keyang forced him to ask, "Do you say yes?" Where's the voucher? ”
"There is a token of the Heavenly Master Dao in Liaodong, Lord Wu still doesn't believe it, so he went to ask Longhu Mountain himself, anyway, a paper crane goes back and forth, and it won't take long to go back and forth from here to Jiangxi."
What Li Yan said was naturally a lie, but first, he might use this to delay time, and second, he could test Longhushan's attitude.
I also know that Chen Ke's two families borrowed the pig Po Dragon to raise bandits for self-respect, and Longhu Mountain must regard them as a thorn in the flesh......
"Okay, I'll ask."
Wu Keyang said coldly.
"Zili, my son."
Chen Tianfang groaned.
Zili is Chen Han's expression, and when he heard this, he hurriedly supported Chen Tianfang.
"Daddy."
"You can take care of the rest, I'm a little tired."
He bowed his hand to the many gentlemen and celebrities present: "The old man is already weak, and he has heard the pain of losing his son, and his body and bones really can't stand it, so today's banquet will be dispersed, and if there is a chance in the future, the old man will come to you to apologize." ”
Half of his body collapsed on Chen Han's body, with a sad expression: "Hurry up, go quickly." ”
"Someone, lock them up. Go back to the yamen for questioning. ”
"This matter has nothing to do with my nephew."
Cha Xiaodao pointed at Cao Yongchang.
Zheng Yuanning said with a grin: "If you run, the monk can't run the temple." ”
After that, he asked the messenger to come forward and lock up the knife, and wanted to escort him back to the yamen.
"Look at everything, it's all scattered! It's all scattered! ”
There were officials who drove away the people, but they couldn't drive away the louder and louder cheers and excited cries.
"The sky has eyes!"
"Retribution, this is retribution!"
Chen Han sent his old father away, and first stood in front of Cha Xiaodao.
"Good dogs don't get in the way."
Cha Xiaodao glanced at him coldly.
"I'll definitely visit you when I have time, check the subordinate officer."
Chen Han stepped aside, Li Yan was about to follow Cha Xiaodao, but Chen Han said sadly behind Li Yan: "Li Zhenfu, I originally wanted to make friends with you, but today it seems that our Liangzi can't be untied." ”
Li Yan ignored him and left directly.
Chen Han clenched his fists, and there was a strange blood light rolling in his eyes.
