On the morning of this day, Yun Ao stood in the martial arts training ground of the Peony Garden of Shangshu Mansion, supervising Meng Yishan to practice swords.

Meng Yishan's knife skills are already very good, the sword is bright, and it is stable.

In the eyes of the old man Yun, it was as if he saw that when he was young and strong, the sword would be strong, and his heart fluctuated. A gust of wind blew, but Yun Ao coughed loudly, and couldn't help but tighten the cotton robe on his body.

The old man immediately stopped Meng Yishan and said to him: "You have a good foundation, I can return to my hometown with confidence!" ”

After getting along for two months, Meng Yishan was stunned when he heard this: "Lao Yun, are you leaving?" It's a pity that our Kunlun Shuangsha name hasn't been called yet. ”

Yun Ao glanced at the withered yellow leaves under the tree not far away, and said, "It's time!" ”

Meng Yishan said with a solemn face, "Since I learned martial arts from you, Lao Tzu promises not to move the silver of the robbery dart." But don't die on the road, if you don't have money, it's all mine. ”

"I will die in Miaojiang." Yun Ao snorted angrily, "But you, a bandit boy, should pay more attention, the proprietor of the Yunpeng Dart Bureau, who picks Huayue Lu Yunpeng, will come to Luoyang sooner or later!" ”

Yun Ao explained to him the Panwang knife technique again, this was the last time to pass it on, he spoke attentively, Meng Yishan listened carefully, and it was noon in a flash.

Yun Ao packed his bags, packed some dry food and gold leaves, and brought a narrow blade knife, and Meng Yishan accompanied him out of the Luoyang City Gate and sent it outside the long pavilion.

Although the old man's internal skills are wasted, his tricks are still there, a knife is in his hand, and the opponents who are idle are all ghosts under the knife. So Lao Meng is not very worried.

Looking at the back of the old man Yun gradually moving away in the westerly wind, Meng Yishan returned to Shangshu Mansion.

In the study of Hefu, Lao Meng ordered a few dishes and a pot of soju, and had a drink with He Shangshu, the boss of the criminal department in the past.

Lao Shangshu has been proud of the spring breeze these days, and accepted the Liuyue girl of Huayue Building as a concubine, and the spirit of tossing is even more strong, "This is the report of the General Administration Department a few months ago, and there is the governor of Guizhou participating in the performance of Ma Wenming is the performance of General Bahu." ”

Lao Meng took the newspaper handed over by He Shangshu, rolled his eyes twice, and pouted: "Can I understand the folds?" Then I'm your grandson! ”

"That dead ghost horse soldier, did you really offend the governor and was killed?" Lao Meng took a bite of the dish, drained another glass of wine and asked.

He Shangshu enjoyed the wisdom bead in his hand at this moment, and when it came to political fighting, it was a feeling of being stronger than the earth leopard Meng Yishan.

"Ma Wenming was the chief soldier in Guizhou, and the most ruthless offender was the neighbor, the Yang family of Banzhou, the Yang family is the lord of Banzhou, Yongzhen Situ for more than 500 years, and has five Tusi and eight wealthy families under his jurisdiction." He Shangshu smiled and said, "Of these eight wealthy families, there is one surname Yun. ”

Lao Meng was stunned, and said in his heart that this old cloud killed the pony, not necessarily all for revenge, the water is a little deep......

He picked up the excerpt again, and carefully consulted the old man He, only to analyze that this Ma Zongbing was really arrogant, and he was not good with the local officials and people in Guizhou, and he had a feud with the neighbor Yang Jia, the emperor of Banzhou, and as soon as Emperor Jingtai ascended the throne, this Bahu general was taken by the governor to take the lead.

"You bird civil officials, you don't see blood when you kill people with soft knives."

The next day, Lao Meng was dressed in a brocade robe, wearing a gauze hat, wearing soap boots on his feet, and a horizontal knife at his waist.

Since Li Qi got the shortage of fast shift leaders, he is even more respectful to Lao Meng, with a small feast on three days and a big feast on five days, and he entertains the head catcher comfortably.

Meng Yishan asked him if he was a family servant, and he did the private work of burning the Confucian Temple for himself, so he naturally accepted him as a confidant.

Today, Li Qi and a few old husbands raised money to invite a fan who can sing romantic songs, and organized a wine bureau to entertain Mr. Meng.

Everyone pushed the cups and changed the lamps, and went through three rounds of wine orders under the supervision of the fans who sang the song. Meng Yishan took advantage of the warm atmosphere and said: "Everyone, the eunuch Wang He in Sister Liu Qiao's rape case is a crucial figure. Be sure to investigate carefully, find clues, and I will reward you with a hundred taels. ”

This Wang He's reward in the palace is 10,000 taels, and Lao Meng still has expectations for the ability of these Luoyang land snakes to launch the City Fox Society Rats and scoundrel idlers to find people, "Also, the prefect wants to catch the White Lotus Sect, you have to keep an eye on it." ”

A table of errand servants is even happier, and there is this kind of good thing of not playing the board within a time limit, and you can also use chicken feathers as arrows to take advantage of the White Lotus Sect? They are all loyal and responsible, and their expressions are more enthusiastic than in the yamen.

At this moment, there was a commotion on the street downstairs, with voices of people, pigs, and shouting, and the noise was sky-high. Meng Yishan looked down, but it was four men dressed in green clothes and dressed as slaves pulling a fat pig and tearing it there. The owner of the pig cried and wiped his tears, hugged the pig and did not let go, was beaten to the point that his nose and mouth were bleeding, and he wailed.

Mr. Meng opened the window, and the tin wine pot in his hand flew down with a bang, smashing it on the face of a man who snatched pigs and beat people, "Defeated Lao Tzu's wine!" ”

The men didn't do it, and the one who was injured by the wine jug immediately greeted Meng Yishan's father, and one of the leaders said: "Look at this guy who drank two mouthfuls of yellow soup, let's go up and give him a punch and kick to wake up the wine!" ”

A few people ran up the stairs, but they were stopped by the shopkeeper of Taibaiju who heard the news, and whispered that this was the chief catcher of Luoyang Mansion, and several hao slaves were a little embarrassed, and they were not willing to enter, and they were unwilling to retreat.

Meng Yishan walked out of the private room and sneered: "These birds, what do you know from the shopkeeper?"

The shopkeeper of Taibaiju sweated and smiled at Meng Yishan: "Mr. Meng, these are all bankers from Yejiazhuang in the south of the city!" Harmony is precious, harmony is precious! ”

"That Yejiazhuang?" Meng Yishan asked with raised eyebrows.

Li Qi, the leader of the team on the side, interjected, "The Ye family has accumulated a huge amount of wealth, and Ye Qianxun, the owner of the big village, is an elder of the Huashan Sword Sect, and he has the reputation of the Three Talents Sword in the rivers and lakes, and has received many disciples. Ye Tianbi, the younger brother of the owner, took the road of the imperial examination and achieved the right capital of the imperial history of the three products of the Imperial Palace. The local momentum is close to the Lu family. ”

"The Ye family is very rich?"

Li Qi cautiously said in Lao Meng's ear: "I heard that Ye Qianxun has the help of the Huashan faction, secretly he is a wealthy man in the green forest of Guanzhong, who presides over the distribution of spoils, and he also has a money bank shop at home, and he lends money outside to earn interest. ”

Meng Yishan sneered and said to the shopkeeper: "A few dog slaves who put money in India and suck the blood of poor men are also worthy of talking to Lao Tzu about the value of peace?" ”

The shopkeeper did not dare to speak. Those servants of the Ye family were originally thinking of a way out, but when they heard him tear the Ye family's face, this was exactly what he wanted, and one of them shouted: "Bold!" The door of the Imperial Master of the Imperial Palace, how can you be humiliated by a little head catcher, even the county order and the prefect have to give way to the second master of my family! ”

Another helper said: "You wait, let's go back and report to the owner, so that you know how powerful the Ye family is in Nancheng!" ”

"Take the imperial envoy to scare Lao Tzu?"

Li Qi didn't wait for Meng Yishan to speak, he rushed up and knocked over a haonu, and the rest of the tolerance glanced at each other, and also followed up and kicked a few Zhuang Ke men to the ground and held them down.

The county officials are not as good as the current management, and the deterrent power of the old man of the imperial history who is far away is nothing too great for these errand servants who are used to collecting black money and fighting the autumn wind, and your Jingguan is not a parent, and Ding Wei will not be able to come back. If some well-established officials and eunuchs lose their power, it will be light to be bitten by these yamen vicious dogs.

Lao Meng nodded with satisfaction, and said to the shopkeeper: "Take the rope to tie it up, and all of it will be detained by the government office!" Tell him that the master of the house will come to the yamen to ransom the man himself. ”

The shopkeeper's face changed color, and he didn't dare to stand up for these people, so he went back and asked the man to get the rope, and hid in the building himself and didn't come out.

The guy in the store brought a rope and handed it to the messenger to tie up the four slaves, and the pigs caught by those people were lying at the entrance of the building and hummed twice, and Li Qizhi made the guys, "Take a flat pole and tie the pigs too, and a few thieves don't know where to steal them, and bring them all back to the yamen." ”

Lao Meng and his party were on an official errand, pulling the rope and holding four Diao slaves, and carrying a pig with a flat pole to swagger through the market, causing a lot of passers-by to watch along the way.

When they arrived at the gate of the yamen, the messenger on duty greeted them. Meng Zhutou pointed to the four people who were tied up: "These four Diao slaves, how to rectify them." ”

Li Qi came up with an idea and said: "These clothes are all violated, and the civilians wear boots without authorization." ”

In fact, there were rules for the clothing of the common people and the gentry. But now the people dare not wear it except for the emperor's dragon robe, and some people dare to try any python robe and flying fish suit. Usually no one cares, and using this to grab pigtails is a quasi-grasp.

"If you dare to violate the system, there is no royal law, send it to prison and lock it up for a few days, Lord Li will be locked up first without asking."

Li Qi nodded, asked his subordinates to send someone to hand over, and said, "Chief catcher, do you think this pig is sent to the stove?" ”

"Tell the cook to keep the pig's head for me, use a piece of firewood to burn it raw and keep it for the wine, and the rest is braised with the brothers, prepare some soju and fat chicken, and everyone will have fun."

Two hours later, Meng Yishan set up a flowing water mat in the courtyard, gathered a group of fast catchers, and ate and drank with everyone.

"Come, eat, eat!" Meng Yishan pushed his subordinates to catch quickly, and said: "When I first came to office, the brothers were quite righteous, helped my old Meng, and stabilized the head catcher, I thought that I couldn't treat everyone badly, so I posted the moon to buy this pig!" ”

When everyone heard this, they immediately said: "Mr. Lao has broken the bank, and following you is better than the one surnamed Gu." ”

"That is, Mr. Meng is very martial, and he is generous to his subordinates, and you are in charge at the entrance of this yamen, which is a tripod in Luoyang."

Everyone made a commotion, shouted and drank wildly, and gave orders with fists! was eating a lot of oil, a messenger came to report, someone from the Ye family in the south of the city asked to see the head catcher, Meng Yishan heard that it was the Ye family, and shouted: "Tell that person to roll in, he is looking for someone from his Ye family!" ”

Mr. Meng has always been contemptuous of the rich and noble, and when he heard that someone from the Ye family was coming, he wanted to call in and humiliate him!

The person from the Ye family was led into the side courtyard by the servants, and the man was dressed as a scholar, dressed as a scholar.

When the scribe entered the courtyard and saw a group of men eating and shouting there, he couldn't help frowning, and the messenger took him to Meng Yishan's table and said, "This is our boss Meng!" ”

The man looked at Meng Yishan's style, looked around, and sighed in his heart, "This is the yamen, and the whole is a bandit's den!" ”

The obscene-looking scribe bowed his hand to the big catcher and said, "In Xia Qianlun, I have seen Meng Zhutou!" ”

Seeing the appearance of the visitor, Meng Zhutou asked casually, "Are you from the Ye family?" ”

"Add to the account room of the Ye family, and usually handle some details for the owner."

"So what's wrong with you?" Lao Meng pretended to be stupid and stunned.

"Today, because of the rudeness of Diao Nu, there were some small misunderstandings, and the owner of the village asked me to notify the chief arrester and let it be disposed of."

This Ye family is so easy to talk? Meng Zhutou was suspicious in his heart.
