Chapter 39: The Old Man Is Dead (Part II)

Since the man's speech was no longer clear, the words he uttered kept running away, but I was close to him and could barely hear a few words. He said that his name was Liu Biao, and he was the head catcher of the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, but it was even more vague and could no longer be heard clearly. And Master Cui frowned when he heard this, and immediately slapped the shocked wood again: "Bastard thing!" I can't say anything clearly, but you can tell me clearly, who is your surname? Where is the errand? Why do you dare to go to the capital to arrest people?! ”

Immediately, I only heard this Liu Biao spit out words with difficulty...... "Tell the adult, the little one's name is Liu Biao...... It is the head of the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion, the fugitive Fang Zihao who was ordered to be arrested two years ago. It's ......" This Liu Biao just wanted to reach out to me, but he quickly protected his face, lowered his head silently, and didn't dare to say another word. I knew that he was afraid of being beaten again, so he did not dare to testify against me.

Now, it makes Master Cui also embarrassed, it seems that this matter must implicate me in order to find out. And Master Cui didn't dare to trespass because of my identity, but this Shuntianfu Yin is not just anyone who can be a person, and without a dim sum machine and the city government, how can he be mixed up in the officialdom until now. Immediately, Master Cui slapped the shocked wood again, and shouted angrily: "Liu Biao! Who is in your Jiangnan Prefecture now? ”

"Lord Yin of the Hui Mansion, our Jiangnan Zhizhou Mansion is the main business of Lord Qiucheng Moqiu." Liu Biao hurriedly reported.

"Humph! A mere five-grade Zhizhou dared to send someone to the capital to make trouble, is this okay?! Master Cui was furious, but just as he was about to continue, he suddenly paused. Just because there was someone outside the lobby, I fixed my eyes and saw that it was no one else, but the old housekeeper of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and when Lord Cui saw someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion, he hurriedly got up and hugged his fists to greet him, but I couldn't help but sigh lightly, I didn't expect my father-in-law to already know, and it seems that this matter can't be asked further.

My father-in-law is the prime minister of the dynasty, how could I tarnish his reputation because of my affairs. Sure enough, the old housekeeper came to me, smiled and saluted me, after I nodded slightly, the old housekeeper strode to Lord Cui's side, and said indifferently: "Lord Cui, this blue sky is bright and clear, and someone dares to make trouble in the capital to arrest people, have you ever found out who is doing evil?" My prime minister's daughter almost had an accident, so the prime minister was very concerned about this matter, so let the little one come to ask, Lord Cui, give me a word? ”

The old butler kept saying that he was small, but in this hall, except for giving me a few thin noodles, almost everyone was not taken seriously by him. And he walked past Liu Biao's group, and did not turn his head to look at them more, at this moment, he was standing in front of Master Cui with his hands behind his back, and his eyes were looking up at the plaque on the top of the public hall. Lord Cui hurriedly bent over to wipe his cold sweat, and immediately said with a smile: "Oh, the prime minister's daughter is actually ...... Alas, it's all these bastards who are making trouble, the old butler, please calm your anger, I'm teaching them a lesson, and I'll be able to get to the bottom of it right away, and I'll be able to ...... it right away."

"Master Cui figured it out, the little one is just a subordinate, what is the subordinate who is not angry, but our uncle is here with you, I heard that he was arrested, and he was detained in the lobby of your house? I said, Master Cui, our aunt Fang Zihao Fang is an official of the imperial court, and he is on an equal footing with you, what qualifications do you have to arrest him? I only heard the old housekeeper's words turn around, and directly said that Master Cui was dumbfounded.

Master Cui hurriedly threw me a look for help, and I was helpless, I knew that this old housekeeper only listened to his father-in-law on weekdays, and no one else could command him. This time, he was able to come to Xingshi to ask for guilt with such a swagger, but I am afraid that he was sent by his father-in-law, so my words will definitely not have the slightest effect. But I am a colleague with Master Cui, so I shouldn't ignore it. Immediately stood up, just about to speak, but saw the old housekeeper smiling and taking the first step and said, "Uncle, speak slowly, the little one knows it." ”

As soon as these words came out, my heart couldn't help but tighten, and I could be sure that it was my father-in-law's order. Outside the temple, Yujiao was frightened because I was arrested, but I was afraid that my father-in-law would be angry with me now, blaming me for not taking good care of Yujiao. And this time I went out, or I proposed not to bring an entourage, this is good, I will cause trouble when I come out, but I am afraid that after the matter here, I will be reprimanded by my father-in-law when I return to the Prime Minister's Mansion!

The old butler's meaning is very clear, there is no longer my part to speak, and he is here on behalf of my father-in-law, so I have nothing to do but shut up. It's a pity that I haven't asked clearly about the confessions of Liu Biao and others here, they are the people I urgently need to recall the past, with them, maybe I can recall my own things in the past, but I don't know how the old housekeeper will deal with this group of people on behalf of my father-in-law.

Master Cui was so frightened that he couldn't straighten up, and while wiping the cold sweat on his forehead, he explained with a bitter face: "Don't hide it from the old housekeeper, who do I dare to arrest if you talk about the big and small officials in the capital?" I know that it is difficult to be a Beijing official, and I am the most difficult...... Which official, who is not related to the above, can crush me to death if any one comes out...... Of course, this is not an insinuation to Lord Fang, there is absolutely no such intention, what Xia Guan means is to give Xia Guan a hundred guts, and he does not dare to send someone to arrest Lord Fang casually, they are all these Jiangnan arresters, saying that they were ordered to arrest some fugitive called Fang Zihao, and he actually has the same name and surname as our Lord Fang, this is really ridiculous......

"On orders? On whose orders? In this Ming Dynasty, who else is greater than the life of the saint today?! The old housekeeper respectfully hugged his fists upwards, and then shouted angrily: "And there is a saint above, and there is a master of our family sitting in the capital, which unfatal release official dares to come to the capital to make trouble?" ”

Master Cui hurriedly replied: "What do they say is the Qiu Chengmo of the Jiangnan Governor's Mansion......"

"Humph! I forgot, when I came, I also received the orders of our family minister, saying that it was a holy order, let you be the governor of Jiangnan, and concurrently serve as the governor of Jiangnan, and go to Jiangnan three days later to investigate the corruption of Qiu Chengmo, the governor of Jiangnan, and Qiu Chengmo was dismissed and investigated on the same day, so these small fish and shrimp are not a head catcher. Master Cui, do you understand? Seeing that Master Cui's eyes continued to shine, the old housekeeper immediately lowered his voice and said, "It's just that our family master asked me to inform you in advance, and the holy decree will be issued in three days." Lord Patrol, now you know how to adjudicate the case, right? ”

As if he had been beaten in an instant, Master Cui hurriedly and respectfully approached the old housekeeper and asked, "Just by the orders of the prime minister!" ”

"Don't listen to any orders, isn't that obvious? A group of little thieves ran to the capital to rob the house, and caught Lord Fang by mistake, you lured the thief into the urn in Shuntianfu, took it down in one fell swoop, and rescued Lord Fang. Directly put these thieves on death row, won't this case be over? After the old housekeeper finished speaking, he looked at Master Cui with a smile again, and Lord Cui immediately nodded in understanding.

When Liu Biao and several Jiangnan catchers heard this, they immediately straightened up and waved their hands, and shouted in horror: "My lord! We're not thieves, my lord! We are from Jiangnan, my lord! ”

I really can't stand it, even if these people are disrespectful to me, but they are indeed here by order, where are the thieves? My father-in-law went too far to protect me, and actually put these people on death row, which is a few lives! Thinking of this, I hurriedly said to the old butler: "Old butler, you see that I have not lost anything, why don't you just let these people go?" They only did what they were told, and they didn't really cause a catastrophe, alas......"

"I said uncle, you have nothing to lose, but our family is going to be laughed off by someone! Tell me about your dignified three-rank life officer, but you were actually arrested by a gang of rogues on the street, what kind of system is this? Where is the face of our father-in-law? The old housekeeper shook his head earnestly, and then said to me: "Uncle, uncle, you still have to think about how to go back and explain to Xiangye, when the old slave came, the young lady was still worried about you and kept crying, the old slave advised you to go back immediately and persuade the young lady!" ”

"But this ......" I couldn't help but glance at Liu Biao and the others.

Liu Biao and the others suddenly bowed to me and shouted loudly: "Fang Xiucai...... No, no, Lord Fang! Lord Fang, help! It's all because we were disrespectful to you at the beginning, and it's all because of our black hearts and black lungs that hurt you, you have a lot of adults, say two good words and let us go! For the sake of our fellow villagers, no, no, not for the sake of our fellow villagers, but for the sake of our eldest lady, please give us a good word, Lord Fang......"

"Countrymen? Miss? Liu Biao, what are you talking about......" I shook my head vigorously and kept repeating Liu Biao's words, but at this moment, I don't know who gave the order, the official on the side walked quickly to Liu Biao, picked up the board and hit Liu Biao heavily in the face, only three boards down, Liu Biao spurted blood on the spot, fell to the ground, and passed out. I hurriedly said to Master Cui, "Lord Cui, you! ”

Master Cui suddenly smiled and said to me: "Lord Fang, you'd better not listen to the words of these villains, if you listen to them, your ears will be dirty, right?" Come on! Put these thieves on death row and wait for the verdict! ”

"Yes!"

Under my stunned eyes, a group of officials dragged the heads up and dragged them out in stride. And that Liu Biao was directly treated as a dead dog, dragged out of the lobby of Shuntian Mansion. I trembled, only to feel a sense of powerlessness hit my heart, even if it is the prime minister's son-in-law, what can I do? You can even know a sentence or two that you want to know, what is it?

Sitting on the Taishi's chair, I was speechless for a long time......
