The Zou Yuanbiao brothers have followed their teacher Gao Gong since they were children, and they are very different in age from the other disciples of Gao Gong, so the relationship is average. Gao Gong's two sons are not close to them, so the Zou Yuanbiao brothers are actually very lonely. After the Zou Yuanbiao brothers became officials, they were excluded and neglected by everyone because their teacher Gao Gong was once the first assistant of the cabinet, so they need someone to care about and understand. Qin Tai is not only about the same age as their brothers, but also has experience in life and being an official to guide them, and Qin Tai understands their hearts very well. While doing the funeral for Gao Gong Shouxiao, the three of them talked about their own ideas and experiences, and gradually became confidants who talked about everything. The three of them privately refer to each other as brothers, because Qin Tai is a little older than their brothers, so they are their elder brothers, Zou Yuanbiao, who should have been the boss, had to be the second brother, and Zou Yunbiao became the third and third brothers. Qin Tai didn't say much about this matter after he went home, and even Zhan Xiaoxiao only knew a rough idea. But they didn't expect that now their third and third brothers have done such an earth-shattering thing. Qin Tai was anxious about Zou Yunbiao's safety while sighing, Zou Yunbiao must persevere, your eldest brother has already felt the capital, and he will definitely find a way to help you save you.

At first, the landlady didn't believe that Qin Tai was a relative of Zou Yunbiao, because Zou Yunbiao said that he had only one brother, Zou Yuanbiao, and Zou Yuanbiao's landlady had also seen it. Besides, Qin Tai and Zou Yunbiao are not alike, they don't look like a family. Qin Tai has a way to prove his relationship with Zou Yunbiao, Qin Tai once loosened Zou Yunbiao's gourd, and there is a manuscript written by himself. The manuscript reads the words "The eldest brother sends the third brother". Qin Tai found the gourd and the manuscript, and wrote a few words for the landlady to identify, and the landlady finally believed that Qin Tai was a relative of Zou Yunbiao. Anyway, Zou Yunbiao didn't have anything of value, so the landlady asked Qin Tai to move in and wait for Zou Yunbiao to come back.

A gangster who knew that Zou Yunbiao was not at home wanted to take the opportunity to come to Zou Yunbiao to steal something. When he saw Qin Tai and the others moving in, he wanted to scare Qin Tai away, but Zhan Xiaoxiao didn't beat him, but just performed a freehand chopping of wood and scared the gangsters away. Not only were the gangsters scared away by Zhanxiao, but even the landlady didn't dare to make irresponsible inquiries. The landlady didn't dare to bother, it didn't mean that no one came to inquire about Qin Tai. Soon after, the royal history of the street patrol brought people to interrogate the origin of Qin Tai and others, and Qin Tai said that he was a relative of Zou Yunbiao and came to the capital to visit Zou Yunbiao's brothers. Unexpectedly, Zou Yuanbiao was released as an official, Zou Yunbiao was beaten and lost his whereabouts, so he had to wait for Zou Yunbiao to come back at home. The street patrol Yushi had no choice but to let Qin Tai live in Zou Yunbiao's house, but he asked Qin Tai to be honest and not to make trouble.

Soon after the street patrol Yushi left, the people of Jinyiwei also came, not only to manage the security on the ground, but also because this is Zou Yunbiao's home. As soon as the Jinyi guards came in, they shouted blindly to arrest Zou Yunbiao, the comrade of the criminal official. Qin Tai, who had been in Jinyiwei for a while, knew what these Jinyiwei meant, and scared people and extorted some silver. Qin Tai asked Zhan Xiaoxiao to use the incision inside the brocade guard to negotiate with these brocade guards. As soon as they heard that the other party was also a Jinyiwei, they immediately thought that this was the person who arranged the secret arrest of Zou Yunbiao's co-defendant, and they were so frightened that they left without saying a word. They knew very well that they were fakes, and if they let the people of Jinyiwei know that they were making trouble and sabotaging their plans, it would be a small chance that they would be dealt with internally by Jinyiwei. Soon after the Jinyi guard left, the soldiers in the barracks also came, and these days the capital is not peaceful, and the army outside the city assists in maintaining law and order. The army is generally under Zhang Juzheng's control, so Qin Tai took out the survey of Zhang Juzheng's dismissal, and the officer who led the team immediately led people away after seeing it. Although he didn't salute Qin Tai, the officer's attitude when he left knew that he was very jealous of Qin Tai. Will Zhang Juzheng's personal exploration make it general? This survey is not only a pass, but also a certificate of transfer that can mobilize up to 500 sergeants. The officer was just a captain, and there were only a dozen brothers under him, so of course he couldn't afford to provoke Qin Tai, who had this survey. He thought that Qin Tai was Zhang Juzheng's cronies, so he didn't even dare to inquire, and immediately took someone away.

Qin Tai knew that the people they came to the East Factory here also secretly followed, so there would be no people from the East Factory to interrogate them. However, several waves of people, including the landlady, made Qin Tai vaguely feel that something was different. Although the landlady cares about her family's house, she doesn't have to be so entangled, it seems that someone asked her to inquire about Qin Tai's origin. Did the gangsters come here to steal by accident or did someone do it on purpose? The street patrol Yushi almost came here with the gangsters, was someone arranged? Or has the street patrol been waiting for a long time? Could it be that gangsters come and steal things as a conspiracy? The gangsters came to Zou Yunbiao to look for things on the grounds of stealing things, and then patrolled the streets to arrest the gangsters on the grounds of catching thieves outside, and took away relevant useful clues together. Could it be that the patrolling soldiers and brocade guards were also deliberately arranged? These people made Qin Tai feel as if they were not ordinary people, were they really secretly instructed by someone? And who is secretly directing them? What is the purpose?

Just when Qin Tai was thinking about the problem, Zhan Xiaoxiao and Qiu Xiaoqiu split their troops to follow them. Qiu Xiaoqiu followed the street patrol royal history, and Zhan Xiaoxiao followed the gangster. Soon after, both men returned, and they confirmed Qin Tai's inference that the two groups of people, one to the east and the other to the west, met secretly in one place. Zhan Xiaoxiao even knocked the gangster back after breaking up with the street patrol Yushi. The purpose is to facilitate Qin Tai to personally interrogate this gangster and let the gangster tell the ins and outs of this incident.

The gangsters woke up in a daze and immediately found themselves back at Zou Yunbiao's house. The gangsters also found themselves tied to a pillar in Zou Yunbiao's house, and the person sitting in front of him was Qin Tai, who he had just met. He struggled and looked at his surroundings, but he was immediately disappointed, Zhan Xiaoxiao stood at the door, and the only window was occupied by Qiu Xiaoqiu, a young man. Even if the thugs untied the rope themselves, they wouldn't be able to escape from this room. The thugs involuntarily glanced at the wall on the left side of Zou Yunbiao's room. These casual last words made Qin Tai understand something. Qin Tai didn't immediately ask the gangsters, but looked carefully at the wall where the gangsters had taken a look. Finally found out what the problem was, no wonder the gangsters were watching this wall when they were so nervous.

It turned out that this house was actually a large courtyard, and the previous owner should have been the owner of a large family or an official. Later, I don't know what happened, and the house was sold to the current landlord. The landlord is a flat-headed person who can't live in so many rooms, so he separates the left and right side halls and ear rooms to rent to others, and his family lives in the main house. Zou Yuanbiao's brother rented this room from the original side hall, a room divided into an outer room and living room dining room, inside a small room on the left and right is Zou Yuanbiao's brother's bedroom. The Zou Yuanbiao brothers rented this house not only because of the preferential rent, but also because the house was not far from where they used to work. Unexpectedly, after renting the house, they knew that they could no longer go back to the original yamen office, but the rent had already been paid, so they had to rent it. After Zou Yuanbiao became an official in other places, Zou Yunbiao couldn't use such a big house, but the landlady was unwilling to return the money and had to continue renting. This wall is not actually the original, but is temporarily separated, not only is it not solid, but it is someone else's room opposite. The thugs want to escape from here, except through the doorway and the window, and the only way to escape is this wall. As long as you hit through the wall, you can escape through the main entrance of the neighbor's house, and it seems that the gangsters are not only familiar with Zou Yunbiao's house, but also have an in-depth understanding.

Qin Tai said to the gangsters: "Say it." Don't tell me you're an average bastard. You're not a professional thief, much less a gangster. There is no need for thugs to do this. The thief will not know the situation of each target so clearly. ”

The gangsters still looked dazed, as if they didn't understand what Qin Tai meant.

Qin Tai smiled and said, "Your expression betrayed you again. If you're a thief, you'll be justified. If he is really a gangster, he should report his name to scare us outsiders. But you don't explain or scare us, and you don't seem to be the one who is in the scene. Dress up as a thug instead of a thug, and don't have to worry about other thugs recognizing you. It seems that you must be from the Yamen. Only the people of the yamen will not be afraid of the gangsters to recognize them, and the gangsters will not dare to target you. Am I right? ”

The gangster's face changed, and he immediately became very stern and said, "Since you know my identity, you dare to tie me up like this?" Immediately let me go, and then follow me back to the yamen. ”

Qin Tai said again: "Okay, don't pretend." You should have guessed that we also eat public meals, and we will not be afraid to enter the yamen. Tell me why you came here in this dress? What is your purpose? Who else told you to do this? ”

Gangsters, it should not be said that the official said very arrogantly: "You have no right to know who we are, let alone control. You say that you eat public food, report your position and the name of the yamen. Maybe your yamen hasn't been beaten by our yamen yet. ”

Qin Tai glanced at this yamen, and then said, "What yamen is so good?" Five Cities Terracotta Division? Suncheonfu's? Of the Criminal Department? Dali Temple's? Of the Imperial History Yamen? Jinyiwei calmed the envoy? Or is it from the East Factory? The Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies? Or is it from the Imperial Horse Warden? It can't be the cabinet, right? What kind of yamen do you think we look like? ”
