Chapter XIV: Trial of Cases

"Knock Knock Knock ......"

"Master Hou, it's the drum of grievances," the chief housekeeper had just changed his clothes and was helping to distribute red envelopes, when he heard the sound outside, he immediately entered the hall to report.

"What's the drum of grievances?" When Bai Yunfei heard it, he understood the meaning, but he didn't understand the use.

Zhang Xiaofan smiled faintly, motioned to Xiaoyan and the two daughters to help him get the official robe, and replied: "The common people don't know much about the laws of the dynasty, and they don't know how to read and understand etiquette, so they have grievances in their hearts, and they often have no way to sue them. ”

"This is normal," Bai Yunfei looked indifferent: "This world is the emperor's world, the emperor can't take care of it alone, and it's normal to have grievances." ”

"It's natural to have grievances, but these people have the same root and species of blood as us, that is to say, two thousand years ago, they were the same Yanhuang blood." Zhang Xiaofan waited for Xiaoyan and Xiaoyuan to put on their official robes, and continued: "No matter whether the blood is thick, it is a family, and I herd the people on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and the people in this Kyushu city are also my people, they have grievances, I don't care, who cares?" ”

The last sentence landed soundly, Bai Yunfei looked stunned, and he didn't know what to say, only to see the man in front of him straighten his spine and strode out.

"Ascension!"

The two rows of guards of the "mighty ......" stood on both sides with wind and fire sticks, and after a while, a gray-haired old man was helped in, and another thin young man was carried in.

"Please Lord Hou help Xiaomin ......" The old man shouted, but he couldn't breathe anymore and fainted. The two guards next to him immediately stepped forward and fed the elixir with the acupoint, and after a period of busy work, the old man came to his senses again.

"Old man, how old are you?"

The old man is also insightful, and after the anger just now, he can think more or less now.

Hearing the question of the Hou Ye in the hall, he hurriedly bowed to the ground and replied: "Back to Lord Hou's words, Xiaomin is sixty and eight this year. ”

"Eight out of sixty, this is already the old man that my Han Emperor has to see in peace, please get up quickly, take a seat." Zhang Xiaofan gave an order, and the left and right guards hurriedly moved a chair, which was newly made yesterday, and the solid wood chair was white and flowery, and it had not been dyed and painted.

The old man didn't expect that he would still have a seat, and he was terrified, and waited for the left and right guards to persuade him, the law of the Han Dynasty was stipulated in this way, and the Hou Ye had to abide by it, so he sat tremblingly.

Zhang Xiaofan let him look at the tea left and right, and waited for the old man to ease his emotions a little, and then continued to ask: "Uncle, what is the matter with you beating the drum and singing grievances?" ”

"Back to Lord Hou's words," as soon as the old man spoke, his words were choked, and his body was about to slide off the seat again, and the left and right guards hurriedly helped him up.

The old man didn't dare to sit down, he stood directly, crying and begging: "My lord, I am the shopkeeper of the city's Zuofang Food, my lord died early, leaving only a son to manage the inside and out. Last month, the people of the Tianlong Gang came to Kyushu City, saying that they wanted to collect money, one or two silver for each family, and my son-in-law gave it on the spot in order to calm the matter. Later, the Dragon Gang had to collect money every day, one tael a day, and in the past month or so, they had to go for more than 30 taels of silver. My store has long been unable to support it. wanted to sell it back to his hometown, but the Dragon Gang didn't allow it that day, and said that even if he couldn't pay the silver, he would support the food of the Tianlong Gang. ”

"Heaven is merciful, my son-in-law can only eat one bowl of gruel a day, old man, I have been eating leaves lately, where is there food to make some food for the Tianlong Gang. I came to see Lord Hou today, I just want to help my son-in-law avoid errands, let's go back to my hometown. ”

"A tael of silver a day? What a big dog guts," Zhang Xiaofan was angry when he heard this, feeling a little ashamed of his inaction in the past few days, and when the old man in the hall said the reason for the complaint, he actually let himself discuss with the Tianlong Gang and let him go back to his hometown, this time it was like a slap in the face, and the blood rushed straight to the brain.

When did you become so cold-blooded to your compatriots in order to complete the task?

Zhang Xiaofan remembered that he was talking and laughing freely with Bai Yunfei just now, and when he talked about his grievances, he felt good about himself, and suddenly found that he was no different from a hypocrite.

"Your Excellency...... Hou Ye? The steward around him called a few times.

Zhang Xiaofan came to his senses and patted the shocked wood: "The three shifts on the left and right are guarded, arrest all the top and bottom of the Tianlong Gang, and come to question." ”

"Order," there are three classes of guards on the left and right, a total of thirty people, needless to say, the cultivation is self-explanatory, they are all congenitally perfect, and they got the token thrown down by Zhang Xiaofan, and immediately went down to invite someone.

The words landed, and before Bu Wei went out, a voice laughed and walked in directly.

"Su Penghai, I think about what the old man said just now, you heard it," Zhang Xiaofan saw Su Penghai come in, and immediately understood that this old man came in to shout injustice, and someone had already informed Su Penghai.

"Yes, Master Hou, what this old man said should be the truth."

"What is meant by what should be true? Su Penghai, come and tell me? After Zhang Xiaofan saw Su Penghai, his heart had quickly calmed down, not because he had lost his anger, but because he was already quickly planning how to quickly eradicate the Tianlong Gang.

"Zhang Xiaofan, you are also a dignified marquis, although you are a foreign state, you also have to know some things. I am the leader of the Tianlong Gang, and my identity is not bad with you, do you have to ask about the big and small things in your family? ”

This is reasonable, but Zhang Xiaofan was afraid that he would not admit it, so he patted the shocked wood again: "Left and right guards, go and arrest the gang members who collect protection money from the Tianlong Gang, if there is resistance, it will not matter if you kill." ”

"It's so bad," Su Penghai didn't care at all, these guards may have some ability as the personal guards of the Hou Ye in front of him, but if they want to deal with their own Tianlong Gang, I'm afraid they are still a little worse. The Tianlong Gang has nearly a thousand people in Kyushu City, and the third class of Buwei has only gone out with thirty people just now, what can it do.

Zhang Xiaofan was much more relieved of his subordinates, and slowly understood the facts of the case with his father-in-law, such as the arrival time of the Tianlong Gang, whether there were other evil deeds on weekdays, and so on.

Su Peng gritted his teeth secretly, but the opening of the martial arts conference was imminent, and he couldn't tear his face with the government, so he was a little at a loss for a while, but after thinking of the martial arts conference, he must personally take off the head of Bohai Hou in front of him and feed it to the dog.

Time passed little by little, and Su Penghai's face showed disdain, I'm afraid those guards will never come back.

Zhang Xiaofan didn't seem to care, in fact, his divine sense had already wrapped up Kyushu City, and the helpers of the Tianlong Gang were all found by Buwei one by one, and if they resisted slightly, they were swords, axes, and halberds.

"Fortunately, they all have eyesight," Zhang Xiaofan didn't want to kill more people, although the Dragon Gang has harmed countless people these days, but it belongs to the kind of small mistakes that are continuous, and the big mistakes are good, as for the leader, the flag owner, the incense lord and the like, they were all restrained hand and foot, and one did not fall hand and foot, and was escorted to the front of Bohai Houfu.

Youbu Wei had to collect clues a few days ago, and this time he acted very quickly and agilely, and nearly 1,000 people were arrested in one hour.

The chief butler, as the leader of the guards, took the token and came in to give the order.

"Back to Hou Ye, the Tianlong Gang gang has 897 people, all of them have been arrested and brought to justice, and there are other resisters, 56 people are killed on the spot, the head is presented, please Hou Ye check the order." The chief butler held the tokens one by one, and the other twenty-nine guards each carried bloody heads, wrapped in cloth towels, and many of them had dark red blood stains.

Su Penghai's cold hair stood up suddenly, he can be regarded as a rare hero, not to mention killing people like hemp, he will not blink his eyes when he raises a knife in his hand, but he wiped out his gang of nearly 1,000 people at once, and even the fifty-six gangs who resisted were cut off their heads, which was also a bit too much.

"Present the head," Bu Wei put away the cloth towel, and a person's head was placed neatly, all facing forward, Zhang Xiaofan glanced at it and nodded, that's right, it was the Tianlong Gang gang he saw just now.

Before Su Penghai dissipated the cold, he suddenly heard an explosion again.

"Bring the people from the Tianlong Gang who collect protection money with them." Zhang Xiaofan gave an order, and more than 50 gangs were pulled outside, their faces were all pale, and they knelt down tremblingly.

"Please take a look, which one went to his restaurant to collect protection money?"

The old man was exposed in a pair of bloody heads, fainted twice, and was rescued, but he was also trembling, and the awe of the Hou Ye in the hall had long surpassed the Tianlong Gang, and as soon as he heard the order, he immediately ran out, and he was very skillful, and there was still a little old and dizzy old Zhong Long.

Zhang Xiaofan could only sigh: "Bad people are afraid of bad people, and old people are even more afraid of bad people." ”
