The wind and dust rushed to Dageng County and covered up their identities with a hat.

After entering the city, find a place to rest and let Hua Erniang go out to inquire.

After a while, Hua Erniang reported that the counterfeiter had just left the city, and under the protection of Dageng County officials and hundreds of soldiers, he went to Benmi County.

Mi County is the jurisdiction of Dageng County, a small county town 50 kilometers south of the county seat.

Basically, Ning Ze and Hua Erniang entered the city from the north gate with their front feet, and left from the south gate when the other party's back feet left.

I heard that it is to inspect the counties, and it can be as little as half a month or as long as longer.

You can't wait all the time in Da Geng County, right? Ning Ze is not so idle.

So he immediately ran to the south gate with Hua Erniang, leaving the city and chasing all the way.

When it was almost dark, they finally arrived in Mi County, and the two of them found an inn to stay.

The law enforcement in Mi County is very strict, and a curfew is implemented at night, so you can't go out at will.

The two of them rested in the room for one night to recuperate.

In the early morning of the next day, he covered his face with a hat and lowered his head to visit the street to inquire about the situation of counterfeiters.

It was learned from the people that the counterfeit goods arrived in Mixian County yesterday and rested directly at the county magistrate's office.

So the two came to the vicinity of the government office, found a restaurant where they could clearly see the surrounding area of the gate, and ordered a simple meal by the window on the second floor while eating.

"Lord Wang, why don't we go directly to the official office and take down the counterfeit?" Hua Erniang was puzzled and asked in a low voice.

Ning Ze said: "It's easy to take down the counterfeit, but I don't know what the other party is doing here." To deal with this matter, you need to keep a low profile as much as possible, and the less people know about it, the better. If you break into the official office and take people down, it will definitely be known all over the city, and it will spread ten, hundred, or even farther. If the hostile forces know that I am here, they may act in secret. Chengzhou is not a golden state, this side has just been taken, and there are still many unstable factors inside, so we need to be vigilant against being used by the enemy. ”

"It seems complicated. Hua Erniang nodded, "Then what are we going to do?"

"Observe! and then find the right moment to deal with the whole thing without knowing it. Ning Ze said, "Don't think so much, eat first." ”

"Hmm~"

The two sat on the second floor of the restaurant, eating and waiting.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of a gong, and saw an official coming on horseback, followed by four or five county soldiers, and broke into the downtown street.

Then he turned over and dismounted, and the county soldiers quickly grabbed a young man from the crowd and brought it to the officials.

The official sternly questioned a few words, and asked the county soldier to push the man upside down and strip his shirt, pull out a leather whip and slash the man on the back, beating the skin and flesh until the flesh was open and the flesh was blurred.

It turned out to be the county lieutenant of Mixian County, the right and left hand of the county order.

This person's loyalty is okay, and his attributes are okay relative to his position.

In the character profile, it is said that he is jealous and hateful, and strictly enforces the law.

That is to say, he will deal with any illegal and criminal acts with the highest law enforcement force, and lenient punishment does not exist in his place.

The man who was caught probably committed some crime, but it fell into his hands, and he was pulled out of the street and whipped in front of the people of Mixian County.

The security in Mixian County has always been very good, and there are few problems, which are probably directly related to the strict law enforcement of this county lieutenant.

The movement was quite loud, so Ning Ze got up and walked outside, leaning against the fence to observe condescendingly.

It quickly became clear that a while ago, several chickens were stolen from a family in Mi County, and no one had been found to have committed the crime. Just yesterday, Jia Xiaoman found a clue and finally caught the chicken thief. According to the confession of the chicken thief, it was confirmed.

It was fine, but from the confession of the chicken thief, it was learned that this person passed by the scene of the crime, and he also faced the chicken thief, and then fled under the threat of the chicken thief.

In other words, the young man was actually an eyewitness to the case.

In other places, maybe the government asked him a few words, and the words of the chicken thief were concluded.

But Jia Xiaoman is different, in his eyes, not reporting it is the same crime, regardless of whether this witness is afraid of the revenge of the chicken thief and does not dare to report the case, knowing that the government is investigating the case, and even when asked, he said that he did not know, this is covering up the criminal.

It is a crime to harbor criminals, so Jia Xiaoman brought people over, whipped them directly in public, and shouted to the people at the same time, if anyone who knows and does not report it, they will be treated the same.

After teaching the witnesses who did not report it, they were about to leave, when a widow came over and said that the old man Zhao, who lived next door, would talk to her every day when he passed by the door, and his words were flirtatious, which was unbearable.

As soon as Jia Xiaoman heard this, he immediately sent someone to find Old Man Zhao.

They came to him and asked about it face to face.

In public, Old Man Zhao was quite embarrassed, so he said to the widow, it's just a joke, why take it seriously? Everyone is a neighbor, if you feel troubled, point it out to your face, and if I don't say it in the future, it's over!

The widow thought about it, although Old Man Zhao often talked about it, and never moved his hands and feet.

But Jia Xiaoman didn't think so, and said in public: "Molesting women from good families, corrupting the atmosphere, you old man lives this age for nothing! Directly let the county soldiers push him to the ground, and also stripped off his shirt and whipped him, making the old man Zhao wail again and again, and his back was full of blood.

Including the widow who reported the case, the surrounding people felt that it was a bit too much, but no one dared to stand up and plead for Old Man Zhao.

At this moment, a young woman, about eighteen or nineteen years old, wearing a small red flower on her head, walked out of the government office. Hearing the movement, he came over to check curiously, learned about the situation from the surrounding people, and hurriedly pushed away the crowd and stepped forward to stop: "Stop!"

Jia Xiaoman turned his head to look at her, he had no impression of her, and looked at her suspiciously: "The county lieutenant is handling the case here, don't interfere with the idle people!"

"Stop!" the young woman escorted in front of Old Man Zhao, frowned and said, "Even if this person is inappropriate, the punishment of the county lieutenant is too heavy. ”

"This county lieutenant handles the case, and outsiders don't need to beak!" Jia Xiaoman said, "Leave quickly, otherwise you will be punished as an accomplice!"

"You cool official, it's too much!" said the young woman urgently, "I'm here today, how dare you?"

"Obstructing the government's handling of the case, the same crime will be punished!" Jia Xiaoman raised his eyebrows, "Come on, take her down!"

"You dare?!" Before the woman's voice fell, several county soldiers appeared behind her, protecting her and confronting Jia Xiaoman and his subordinates.

Jia Xiaoman was slightly stunned, and the faces around the woman were all familiar, which made him puzzled.

The two sides were tense, and the atmosphere was tense for a while.

"Who are you?" Jia Xiaoman was completely unfamiliar with this young woman who suddenly appeared.

The young woman replied loudly: "I am the maid of the king of Danyang, called the autumn cicada! ”

"King Danyang?" Jia Xiaoman had heard that King Danyang arrived in Mi County yesterday and stayed directly at the official office. He was working on various cases and had never been seen.

Upstairs, Hua Erniang turned to Ning Ze in confusion: "Lord Wang, is this your maid?"

"Of course not. ”

"Then she just said ......"

"I guess it's someone from the impostor's side. ”

"Oh~" Hua Erniang suddenly realized.

The two confronted each other, and the young woman named Qiu Chan saw the young man who had been whipped before, so she asked, "What's the matter with him?"

The people beside him answered, explaining everything one by one.

When Qiu Chan heard this, he was even more angry: "It's really a cool official!"

"Even if you are a person close to the prince, you can't interfere with the law enforcement of the county lieutenant!" Jia Xiaoman said, "Please leave quickly." ”

"Since I met it, this matter can't be regarded as not being seen!" Qiu Cicada turned around and shouted at the onlookers, "The prince came here for a private visit, but he is the master of the people. It seems that such a cool official should be rectified! Right now, the prince is in the official office, and if there is any injustice, just come! If the prince comes out, don't be afraid!"

As soon as the words fell, the young man who had just been whipped immediately shouted: "Wronged! The villain just bumped into the chicken thief, accidentally saw him, because he was afraid that he would be beaten like this by the county lieutenant if he failed to reveal the truth, please make the decision for the villain!"

"Don't worry! The prince will definitely make the decision for you. Qiu Chan glared at Jia Xiaoman and looked around, "There are still people who have been wronged in the hands of cool officials, and they can stand up." Don't worry, with the prince here, you will definitely be fair!"

Jia Xiaoman's strict law enforcement efforts must have offended many people in normal times, and when he heard this, someone in the crowd really spoke timidly, saying that he was one of the victims.

As soon as one pops up, more people follow, and people's herd mentality is fully revealed.

On the other hand, it also proves that Jia Xiaoman's strict law enforcement has indeed offended many people.

Seeing that so many people came out to accuse Jia Xiaoman, Qiu Chan immediately said: "Don't worry, such cool officials will be severely punished!

"The county lieutenant acts according to the law, and there is no injustice!" Jia Xiaoman said, "All those who are punished are at fault, how can they be innocent? Even in front of the prince, he has a clear conscience!"

"Okay, do you dare to come with me to the official office to see the prince?" asked Qiu Chan.

"Why don't you dare?" Jia Xiaoman said, "I have heard that the prince is fair and honest, and the county lieutenant is worthy of his heart, how can he be afraid?"

"Very good!" Qiu Cicada turned around, "Those who have been wronged by the county lieutenant will go to the official office with me." ”

It has nothing to do with this matter, except for a few people who need to take care of the stalls and storefronts, almost all of them walk towards the gate of the government office together.

Qiu Cicada walked in front, and asked the county soldiers who were protecting her to bring the two people who had just been beaten to a bloody pulp and wailed. Jia Xiaoman took his men to lead the horse and walked behind.

Hundreds of people followed, and the scene was extremely lively.

"Lord Wang!" Seeing this scene, Hua Erniang turned her head to look at Ning Ze and asked him what he meant.

"Let's go over and take a look!" Ning Ze immediately got up, put on his hat and pulled it down slightly, covering half of his face.

Hua Erniang hurriedly put on her hat, followed Ning Ze downstairs, and went straight to the gate of the official office.

The two squeezed into the crowd of onlookers and came to the door of the government office together.

The eyes of the onlookers were all inside the official office, focusing on Qiu Chan and Jia Xiaoman, and waiting for the "Danyang King" to appear, but they didn't realize that the real Danyang King Ning Ze was actually around.
