"yes, let's talk about it tomorrow, sleep, I'm a little sleepy, sleep." Zhu Wenyu yawned exaggeratedly, but Nangong Ling knew that Zhu Wenyu's internal strength was not weak, even if he didn't sleep for a few days and nights, there was no difficulty, and he was actually making trouble to sleep at this time, naturally he had something in his heart, probably because of Wang Dingbiao's upset, and he didn't say anything, the two spread out the bedding and slept peacefully.

As soon as he got up on the second day, Zhu Wenyu was enjoying the snow in the courtyard, only to hear a report from the yacha: "Lord Dingbiao, the king of Bazhong Zhizhou, asks to see Lord Qincha." ”

Zhu Wenyu had a headache when he heard Wang Dingbiao's name, but he had to deal with it, waved his hand impatiently, and yawned: "Let Lord Wang wait for a while, I'll come later." ”

Zhu Wenyu rubbed for a long time before returning to the front yard slowly, only to see that Wang Dingbiao had been waiting for a long time, and there was a slightly rich old man next to him, with a blue cloth robe, gray hair, and a white beard three or four inches long, inconspicuous, and also stood up, but between his actions, Zhu Wenyu had already seen that the old man was carrying martial arts, and sometimes his eyes seemed to be extinguished with a trace of essence, and his internal strength was definitely not weak. The old man also seemed to be surprised, he didn't expect this Lord Qincha to be so young, it seemed that he hadn't even reached twenty yet, there was a hint of a shallow smile on his face, like a young scholar, what surprised him even more was that this young Lord Qincha looked delicate and polite, but in the eyes of his experts, this person was definitely equipped with martial arts, and it would definitely not be very low, and he was so angry that he had the momentum of a grandmaster in his gestures, if he didn't expect, he might have reached the realm of a first-class master, He was very surprised that there would be such a character among the officials of the imperial court, and he had come to this remote Bazhong realm again.

"Dare to ask who this old gentleman is? ......" Zhu Wenyu said with an inquiring tone.

"Go back to Lord Qincha, this is Tang Yanxiong, the lord of Tangjiabao in Bazhong, and the lower officials know that Lord Qincha came to Bazhong for official business, and it is related to Tangjiabao, so he ordered the lord of Tangbao to come to the county government to reply to Lord Qincha, so as to avoid the suffering of the adults."

"Oh? Tangjiabao? Isn't the Tang Gate headed by Old Madam Shen? Zhu Wenyu suddenly felt that the name Tang Yanxiong was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

The old man hugged his fists and bowed: "Lord Hui Qincha, Tangmen is a random name for people in the rivers and lakes, and Tangjiabao is just a small local courtyard, all under the jurisdiction of the imperial court." The mother of the family is very old, and she has already handed over the affairs of the family to the grass people, and the Lord Qin Cha can just ask the grass people if he has something to say. ”

Zhu Wenyu was taken aback, and suddenly remembered, last time in Baishui Town, at the foot of Shaomu Mountain, the leader of the beggar gang "Iron Hand Tianlong" Xie Fei once asked about Tang Yun, Tang Yun said that his father's name is the word "Yanxiong", it seems that the old man in front of him is Tang Yun's father, "two-step wind" Tang Yanxiong. Want to come to this Tang Gate, he is just a squire in the local area, living in the Tang Family Fort, there are many people in the Tang Sect, this Tang Yanxiong is the eldest son of the Tang Gate Changmen, taking over the position of the lord of the castle, and he is the one who deals with the local government, and the Tang Gate on the rivers and lakes, the head of the Tang Gate is naturally the old lady Tang "Drifting Snow Fairy" Shen Yuanxue Shen Old Lady, this matter of the rivers and lakes and local affairs can not be confused, the two are in charge of different things It is extremely natural, unlike the Nangong family, the owner of the door is Nangong Wang, and the person who deals with the magistrate is also Nangong Wang, That's another form.

Thinking of these, Zhu Wenyu didn't dare to slack off, firstly, the person in front of him was Tang Yun's father, who belonged to the elders, and should be respected, and secondly, although he was in the name of a Qincha, but what he came to investigate was a matter in the rivers and lakes, not to mention that there was a public case between Shaolin and Tangmen that needed to be concluded. Zhu Wenyu hurriedly took a few steps forward and hugged his fist towards Tang Yanxiong: "Later, Zhu Wenyu will meet Tang's seniors." ”

Tang Yanxiong was stunned, he didn't expect Zhu Wenyu to act like this, and he was surprised, but after all, he was old in the rivers and lakes, and immediately reacted that Zhu Wenyu was to meet him in the rivers and lakes, with his identity as the eldest son of the Tang Sect, he ranked second in the Tang Sect in addition to Mrs. Tang, and he was also a famous figure in the rivers and lakes, Zhu Wenyu is a rising star in the martial arts, and it is not an exaggeration to accept this gift himself. And although he didn't know that Zhu Wenyu was ordered by the emperor to come to Tangmen to investigate the case of Nangong Lei's poisoning, someone had already reported that Zhu Wenyu went to Shaolin.

Countless thoughts flashed in his heart for a while, but he naturally followed the rules of the rivers and lakes, and straightened up and hugged his fists: "Don't dare, don't dare, Zhu Shaoxia is too humble." ”

Wang Dingbiao next to him looked at Zhu Wenyu and ignored himself to talk to Tang Yanxiong, he was a little lost, at this time, he saw that Tang Yanxiong didn't bow down, and he was even more unhappy, in his heart Tang Yanxiong was just a squire, and he was 108,000 miles away from his Zhizhou, at this time, he actually dared to sit on an equal footing with Lord Qincha in terms of etiquette, and he wanted to please Zhu Wenyu, so he shouted on the side: "Bold Tang Yanxiong!" When you see Lord Chincha, you still don't kneel down and salute?!"

Tang Yanxiong was stunned, reacted, and was busy kneeling, Zhu Wenyu held on, the anger in his heart could no longer be suppressed, and he turned around and said coldly to Wang Dingbiao: "Lord Wang, Tang's predecessors are elders, how can Zhu accept a big gift?" Lord Wang, it just so happens that you are here, and I have a few questions for you, young master. ”

"Lord Qincha, please say, the lower officials will answer truthfully." Wang Dingbiao hurriedly bowed to the ground.

"I heard that you have come to Bazhong in January to welcome me, how many notices have you posted?" Zhu Wenyu said as he walked back to the main seat in the hall, Tang Yanxiong took a few steps back in amusement, Xu Shiqun and Cheng Jun didn't know why, and they also bowed to the ground with Wang Dingbiao.

"Back to Lord Qincha, those are all some arrangements made in advance by the lower officials in order to prepare well and welcome Lord Qincha, and they are all for the sake of Lord Qincha's safety and comfort in my Bazhong County."

"Master Xu, Mr. Cheng, you two should get up first." Zhu Wenyu waved his hand.

Xu Shiqun and Cheng Jun had no choice but to stand up, take a few steps back, and dare not make any more noise, allowing Wang Dingbiao to kneel in the hall.

"Well, you posted a notice to forcibly recruit people's daughters, and arranged for people's girls to stay with Young Master Ben, if there is a women's family who refuses to apply for recruitment, you must pay two hundred taels of silver, is there such a thing?" Zhu Wenyu continued to mark Wang Ding.

“…… It does. The Lord Qin sent him from afar, and the lower officials only recruited a few vulgar servants to take care of the adults' daily life, and had no other intentions. Wang Dingbiao kowtowed.

"The recruited folk girl also 'takes care' of your Wang Dingbiao's daily life by the way, right?"

"Absolutely...... There was no such thing, and the lower officials just ordered those folk girls to practice diligently to prepare for ...... Just for the sake of listening, and to serve the Chincha-sama. ”

"Practice? How to practice? Hum...... Also, you apportioned a poll tax of 30 yuan to Bazhong County, saying that you wanted to welcome me Zhu Wenyu in order to collect money, right? ”

"This ...... Yes, sir. Bazhong is far from poor, and there is a shortage of silver in the treasury, and the lower officials are afraid that the arrangement is not thoughtful and there is a lack of etiquette, so they call on the people to donate. ”

"Donate? If you don't pay the money, you will arrest people, this is called donation? Let's put it this way, tell me, anyway, under the sign of Yingqincha, how much silver did you collect? ”

"No more, no more, just this one, just this one, my lord, a total of ...... Altogether...... A total of more than 5,700 taels of silver, all of which were used in the arrangement of the county government, adults, villains will never dare to embezzle a penny, adults. ”

"Don't you dare? Don't you dare? Young master, I haven't come yet, you forcibly levy people's daughters, forcibly share taxes, and still play Lao Tzu's signboard, what else do you dare not dare? Just like you, if I don't kill you, how can I calm the anger of the people in Bazhong? The more Zhu Wenyu spoke, the more angry he became, and he almost roared out.

"Spare your life, my lord, my lord spare my life, the lower officials will never dare anymore, never again." Hearing this, Wang Dingbiao immediately kowtowed on the ground with a crying voice.

"It's too late to beg for mercy, I won't kill you, I can't even be innocent, I can't wash my mother by jumping into the Yellow River, and the people in Bazhong still don't regard me Zhu Wenyu as a heinous thief and corrupt official? Regard me as an enemy and scold Lao Tzu's eighth generation ancestor? ”

"My lord, the lower official knows that he is wrong, and the lower official will not dare anymore." Wang Dingbiao kowtowed again and again.

Zhu Wenyu sat silently, panting and shaking his head.

Wang Dingbiao saw that begging for mercy could not be achieved, and his heart was crossed, and he said: "Lord Qincha, the lower official is the six-rank official of the imperial court, even if he is guilty, even if the adult is the identity of Qincha, according to the law of the Ming Dynasty, it should also be handed over to the Yamen Ming Zhengcanon to punish the crime according to the law, and the adult has no right to commit suicide to me." ”

Zhu Wenyu's heart was about to soften, after all, it was not a trivial matter to really kill a six-rank court official, but when he heard this, he couldn't help but feel angry again, and roared: "Just like you, Wang Dingbiao, a bastard, you will inevitably be stabbed wherever you go, don't think that I Zhu Wenyu can't kill you today, Lao Tzu has a gold medal from the emperor, and he can act cheaply when he makes a decision, do you think I don't dare to kill you?" Hehe, you underestimate me, not to mention that Lao Tzu is now the minister of the Qin Mission, even if there is no gold medal, not the Qin Mission, Lao Tzu is still a Jinyi Wei Qianhu, if you want to kill you, you don't need to ask the autumn queen, Lao Tzu will cut it first and then talk about it!" After that, he couldn't help but say, a palm towards the head of Wang Dingbiao who was lying on the ground, this angry palm contains the internal force of the easy qi health regimen, even if he meets a martial arts master, he will have to break his tendons and fracture with a palm, not to mention that Wang Dingbiao is just an ordinary man, the palm has not reached the top of the sky, and the palm has shattered Wang Dingbiao's internal organs, and Wang Dingbiao was just about to straighten up, only to see that his face was suddenly pale, a trace of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth, and he fell to the ground softly and died of breath.
