Chapter 15: Adults Are Mighty
"Don't ask for him! It's a joke and a shame on your man's face! ”
Zhang Lie disdainfully bowed to a person who was despised by himself.
When Zhang Lan'er heard this, she bit her lip with shame and annoyance, and turned her head away.
On the other side, Zhao Qingmiao has been secretly clues, and Shen Xiao is also quietly thinking about it.
These bandits have always relied on their familiarity with the water to run rampant in Qingchuan, and they are young and strong but only fishermen from the island. Tonight, I faced a well-planned and well-trained soldier, and finally planted.
I just heard what Zhang Lie meant, these people are not the officers and soldiers of the Guzhou Prefecture, so who will bring them? The lower roads of the capital are divided into prefectures and counties, and each has its own poor capture and service soldiers, and the box army and the local militia are counted separately, and they dare not take people on other people's territory.
Naturally, Doctor Ji is not a real doctor. The moon is rippling, lining the eyebrows like towering distant mountains, and the handsome and sharp face stretches out a sharp arc. It was a little different from the qi yu he had seen before, he didn't speak, and he looked deep and solemn.
Zhang Lie was impatient and irritable, unable to withstand the atmosphere around him, and lifted the corners of his mouth and asked, "Which adult sent you?" Don't blame me for not reminding me, there's someone above me-"
"Vomit vomit gash ~~!"
Everyone's expressions froze, and there was silence.
As the violent, painful vomiting stopped, the foul smell seemed to drift closer.
Zhao Qingmiao and Shen Xiao frowned in unison, holding their snorts and turning their faces away.
Someone came with a word, and the wall-like soldiers loosened slightly, and consciously gave way to both sides. I saw a public official with a curved collar and a big-sleeved shirt and a soft-winged hat, walking over with a clear throat.
Doctor Ji's eyes did not change, and he handed Zhang Lan'er over to the soldiers on the side, and he stepped forward.
"My lord, it's been hard all the way." He made a gesture, his tone was deferential, and his expression was neither humble nor arrogant.
"Yunli, this trip is a loss of blood!" The adult, who vomited a lot, put his shoulder on his shoulder, turned pale with a miserable face, and said with a sigh of anger: "Hey, this plan to suppress the bandits has worked hard for you again." Yunli, when the official returns, he will definitely reward you. This official really can't bear the bumps of this boat......"
In the different looks of others, this adult did not shy away from being familiar with Ji Yunli. Ji Yunli nodded and thanked him, ordered someone to put a basin of water, and washed the adult's face well.
From the moment Shen Xiao saw the person, there was a lot of shock in his heart. stared at it quietly for a while, and then changed his face to an understatement.
This person he knew, the three-product supervision case of the imperial court, Bai Zhou.
Don't look at Bai Zhou's upright face and smiling and smiling, but it is the son of Bai Xiang who is unpredictable. This person was idle in the imperial capital when he was young, gag and amorous, and he was a child of an official family who was at ease when the sky fell. Because of Bai Wen's power, he naturally mixed into the three divisions. However, his official career does not depend entirely on his father, and after becoming a supervisor, he has repeatedly arrested local officials for dereliction of duty, and his political achievements are remarkable.
Shen Xiao raised his hand and rubbed his chin: he and Shen Ling exchanged bodies, and at this moment, his face was dark again, and he would not be easily recognized.
What's more, who would have thought that the dignified "Son of Heaven" would once fall on this small island?
The movement in Zhang's house also woke up the people on the island, and they all ran over to join in the fun. At first glance, there were many people who were scared to see so many soldiers, and there were women and children sobbing in groups, and older men clenching their fists and nervously guarded.
"I said a long time ago that letting Zhang Lie be a water bandit will bring disaster to the island! It's finally come true! ”
"My lord, we are all innocent, everything is Zhang Lie's fault, you should arrest him quickly!"
"My son is young and ignorant, and he was bewitched by Zhang Lie to become a water bandit, and I ask the adults to forgive me......"
The light of the fire shone on the faces of all kinds of people, whether they were frightened or dazed or indignant. Regardless of their expectation, Zhang Lie was unusually calm at the moment, squinting his teeth and sneering. There is a kind of righteous death.
Zhang Lan'er still lowered her head, but her shoulders shook twice, suppressing her crying.
In this situation, Bai Wen sighed inaudibly, took the cloth towel to wipe his face, looked at Zhang Lie, rolled his eyelids up and down, and asked Ji Yunli slowly: "This person is the leader of the water bandits?" Has his dealings with the prefect of Nagu Prefecture been clarified? ”
Ji Yunli replied: "It's my lord, this person has written accounts with the Guzhou prefect, and there are all human and material evidence for robbing and selling stolen goods. Just wait until you return to the city, and you will condemn them to sin. ”
The discerning soldier took a chair from the house and gave him a seat to sit on, and offered him a teacup to rinse his mouth.
"Well, well done. The rest of the people were also brought back with them, and they were checked out before they were released. Bai Wen glanced around the crowd, and when his gaze crossed the faces of Zhao Qingmiao and Shen Xiao, there was not much expression.
There are two kinds of people that the so-called business is most afraid of: those who are easy to talk and those who are not easy to speak. and he who speaketh well, do as he pleases; If you don't speak well, you have to follow other people's rules in everything.
"Slow down, adult." Zhao Qingmiao took a deep breath and blessed herself, "Can you be accommodating, can you be accommodating, we are all people who were taken to the island by the water bandits, and there are still goods on my boat waiting to be brought back to Luoyang, if you follow the official back to Guzhou City, this round trip will be delayed by several days." ”
"A girl in business, no wonder she has sharp teeth."
Bai Wen smiled very lightly, and his expression was a little lacking in interest between his words.
Zhao Qingmiao said in her heart that there was no play, and lowered her eyes.
Ji Yunli, who was standing with his hands behind his back, suddenly attached his ear to Na Bai Zhou. I didn't know what to say, but I saw Bai Zhou's expression change slightly, and stopped the soldiers who were about to leave: "It's all slow-"
"This official is sympathetic to the people, ask here tonight, you just need to cooperate well, and irrelevant nature will not be involved."
The soldiers looked at each other, and their own adults really wanted to play one out at a time, changing their ways to torture their own people. However, the grievances were complained, and a Nanmu desk was carried and sent to the table in a proper manner, and the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were respectfully placed.
Qi lived, Lord Bai sat upright, and pointed his finger at Ji Yunli.
"Yunli, you will record it."
Ji Yunli is Bai Zhou's staff, he is good at copywriting, his pen is like a knife, and he can follow the temptation when investigating the case, and he is very valued.
"Yes, sir."
The first one was to pick Zhao Qingmiao. Maybe she's too eye-catching.
"My lord, I am from Luoyang, and I have an elder brother in the family who is in business. This time I came to Guzhou to buy some inkstones to take back, and when I wanted to go back, I was robbed by these bandits. ”
Zhao Qingmiao said in an orderly manner.
Ji Yunli raised his eyebrows slightly and looked deeply. His gaze was calm, and when he floated over, he seemed to poke her lightly, bringing a chill that did not appear.
"That's it? Is there anything missing? ”
Zhao Qingmiao raised her eyes and looked at it, feeling uneasy in her heart, and then a little frightened.
"Adults are aware and don't dare to talk nonsense."
Thinking that he didn't believe it, Ji Yunli nodded.
"Next."
This time it was Shen Xiao's turn.
He lowered his eyes slightly, his fingers scraped his eyebrows slightly, and a dark shadow swept between his eyes.
"Villain Ah Jiu, the Zhao family's little servant ......"
