The few people at the door were all in black uniforms, with fast boots on their feet, straight knives in their hands, and fast waist hunting cards hanging on their waists.

The leader was tall and burly, with a full beard, a long scar at the corner of his eye, and his eyes were very sharp, looking like a head catcher.

"Who was so arrogant just now that he dared to speak wildly? Don't you know that slandering court officials is a prison sentence? ”

Although the head-catching man asked in his mouth, his eyes had already fallen on Shao Xi and the others.

Shao Xi was a little panicked at this time, and said that this old Wu always told himself to be cautious and low-key on weekdays, why did he talk about the official family today.

"You're taking the lead? What we just said is what we said, is it wrong? A small county magistrate dared to privately open laws, wasn't he afraid that the imperial court would investigate and remove him from his official position? ”

In Shao Xi's eyes, Lao Wu is crazy today. It wasn't enough to say those words before that he was caught, but now he actually slammed them back in front of others, is this the rhythm of death?

"Sure enough, it's a bad people, so bold and arrogant, and he dares to be so rebellious in front of us. Tie up the two and take them back to the county office. ”

The catcher waved his hand, and several catchers behind him rushed to the front and surrounded the two, and some of them had already taken out the rope in their arms, and they were about to tie people up.

Lao Wu looked left and right, drooped his eyelids and asked slowly, "Tie us up?" You stinky fish and rotten shrimp are not qualified enough. Do you know who my young master is? ”

One sentence not only caught the surroundings quickly, but even Shao Xi was stunned by the question.

Who are you? He is a wild child who has been chased and killed to the grassland for ten years. Can this also be taken out and blown? Could it be that this group of people is fast because they don't catch them? Shao Xi felt that Lao Wu had taken the wrong medicine today, this was a disease, and it had to be treated!

"Don't be ashamed! On the ground of this ten thousand counties, I don't care who you are. Dare to insult the county commander, you are looking for death, take it for me! ”

The head catcher stepped forward as he spoke, and it seemed that he was going to do it himself.

"Wait." As he spoke, Lao Wu lifted the hem of his shirt and stretched his hand down his belt into his pants and pulled it up, looking as if he was scratching an itch.

Shao Xi was embarrassed to find a crack in the ground at this time. It's okay to brag and talk big, and making such indecent actions at this time really makes people have nowhere to look.

After a while, Lao Wu finally took out a sign from his pants, which was about the same size as the one given by Zhang Huanzhi. Stretched out his hand and patted it on the table, and said lazily: "If you are not blind, just see for yourself!" ”

The catcher glanced at the sign on the table with a disgusted face, after all, it looked like it was a smelly brand.

But when he saw the words on the sign, his whole face froze there as if he had been injected with hyaluronic acid, and he didn't respond for about half a minute. The catcher next to him stared at him with big eyes and a big mouth, wondering if their head had been clicked on the acupoint.

Suddenly, the head catcher knelt on the ground, clenched his fists with both hands, and said: "Villain Zhang Chong, I don't know that the two adults of the 'Jing Chengsi' are here. ”

Including Shao Xi, everyone present was stunned. Is this a trick? Just now, he was fierce and vicious, why did he become as well-behaved as a little sheep now? What brand is this? What is "Keishoji"?

"Forgive me or not, I don't count if I say it, ask my young master!" As he spoke, Lao Wu picked up the wine jug and drank again.

Zhang Chong hurriedly turned to Shao Xi again, "My lord, the villain really didn't know that you two adults were here, and your words were offensive, please forgive me." ”

Shao Xi wondered in his heart, what did I become an adult? What the hell is that "Kei Cheng Division"? will scare a catcher like this, as if the brand that Lao Wu took out is quite effective.

Thinking in his heart, he replied: "This Lord Catcher, please hurry up." The two of us are also passing by here, and when I stayed in the hotel, I heard Xiao Er say that I wanted to leave a detailed record, and I was puzzled so I asked. There are also inappropriate words, and I hope that adults will not care. ”

Zhang Chong trembled and got up and said, "Thank you for not blaming the villain." In fact, I am also helpless about what the adult just mentioned, since the county commander took office for half a year, there have been bandits in the surrounding area, and the yamen is not manpowered, so it is really impossible to prevent it, so we can only take this step. ”

"What kind of bandit can make the entire county close the city in advance? Didn't this matter be reported to the county and let the county guard send troops to clean it up? ”

Zhang Chong sighed and said, "I don't know where the bandits came from, they are very slippery." The county had sent troops to clear it several times, but every time the soldiers and horses arrived, the bandits disappeared, and as soon as the soldiers and horses withdrew, these bandits appeared out of nowhere. It's really annoying to the county keeper. ”

"Could it be that someone leaked the news in advance and reported it to the bandits?"

"It's strange here, every time the report is reported, the county commander sends someone to rush to the county, and it is not in the hands of others. But every time the thieves seemed to get the news in advance, and disappeared without a trace. ”

"It's strange. However, when bandits outside the city attacked the merchants, why did they close the city gate in advance every day, and the people staying in the hotel still had to keep a detailed record? Did bandits ever sneak into the city? ”

Asked about this, Zhang Chong looked helpless, "That's true." Originally, this was done to prevent the bandits from sending people to infiltrate the city to find out the news, and every day, we personally went to each inn to collect the details and submit them to the county magistrate, who personally screened them. I don't want the attacks on the merchants to increase unabated, so that the merchants have to spend a lot of money to hire guards before they dare to cross the county. What's more, there have been quite a few bandits in the city recently, breaking into the houses of some wealthy families in the city late at night to kill people and steal goods. And we waited for the city to be closed overnight and searched, but we found nothing, which is really incomprehensible. ”

"No wonder when we entered the city, we saw a depression in the city, it turned out that there were thieves and bandits in the city, which made people panic."

"The two adults came to Wanxian, and it is really inappropriate to live in the inn, wait for the villain to report to the county order, and take the two adults to the government to rest."

Shao Xi can pull it down when he hears it! I just took a sign that I don't know what it was and bluffed you over, if you get to the mansion and still don't show your bottom? It's better to find a way to fool the past and slip away early tomorrow morning.

"No need, the two of us will stay here and leave early tomorrow morning. Let's go about your errands! I won't bother when I wait. ”

Zhang Chong hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Since the two adults have their own arrangements, the villains don't dare to disturb." The villain will patrol the city at night, and if the adult is sent, he can order the shopkeeper to summon the villain. Please rest early, and we will leave here. ”

After speaking, Zhang Chong explained to the store, and then led the crowd to salute Shao Xi and the others again, and then turned around and left the inn.

After such a fuss before, even the shopkeeper of the inn knew that these two people were not small, and hurriedly ran out to serve in person. Not to mention the good wine and food, I also arranged two of the best rooms. Even the people who were scared to the point of losing their souls, even if they were lying on the ground, they had to be happy.

After the two went upstairs and returned to the room, Shao Xi asked Lao Wu, "What is the brand you just took for?" And what is the 'Jing Chengsi' in Zhang Chong's mouth? ”

Lao Wu put the sign on the table and said, "You should remember that I told you before that the owner of the village and I were both members of the secret spy network of the Ministry of Rites, in fact, this secret spy network is under the rule of 'Jing Chengsi'. Your father's ostensible identity is a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, but in fact, he has another secret identity that is the 'Jingcheng Division' inspector. ”

"Can you elaborate on that? I don't understand this when you say that. ”

Lao Wu was amused by Shao Xi, "This 'Jing Cheng Division' is specifically responsible for supervising the officials of various ministries and departments in the court and listening to the secret intelligence of foreign countries, independent of the three provinces and six ministries and nine temples and five prisons, and is directly dispatched by the current saint, even the Yushitai has no right to interfere with the supervision of the 'Jing Cheng Division'. The division has set up patrol lieutenants from the six products, patrol lieutenants from the six products, inspection history from the five products, patrol history from the five products, inspector history is four products, inspector history is three products, and the owner of the village was not only the Ministry of Rites Lang Zheng four products, but also the 'Jing Cheng Division' supervision and inspection of the four products. Although this is the reuse of the Holy One, this identity cannot be made public. ”

Shao Xi nodded, indicating that he understood. Then he asked: "It stands to reason that after my father resigned and returned to his hometown, this 'Jing Chengsi' sign should be returned, why did it appear in your hands?" ”

"The owner of the village resigned that year and resigned only as a waiter of the Ministry of Rites, but this 'Jing Cheng Division' inspector did not resign. In the six years since his resignation, the owner has been using the spy network to secretly investigate a major matter, and the Fengjia tragedy is not only related to the nine-colored glass buckle around your neck, but also has a major relationship with this matter. Therefore, despite the murder of the owner, the Holy Lord could not publicly investigate the matter. This brand belonged to the owner of the village back then. ”

"No wonder this brand is so easy to use, so won't we be able to install big-tailed wolves wherever we go in the future?"

Lao Wu glanced at Shao Xi fiercely, "It's okay to take it out and bluff people, don't really think of yourself as a history of supervision, if you are found to be a court official, you will lose your head." ”

"And you just took it out and pretended to scare people?"

"Of course I'm different from you, although I'm not registered, I'm nominally also a patrol lieutenant of the 'Jing Cheng Division'."

Shao Xi pursed his mouth and said, "It's not in name only, it was discovered that you are also a black household with no evidence." ”

Lao Wu was blackened by Shao Xi's face, and threw down a sentence, "Put the sign away, maybe it can save your life in the future." Then he turned and went back to his room.

Shao Xi looked at the sign on the table and was worried, remembering the way Lao Wu took out the sign from his pants before, he really couldn't get his hands on it.

Pulling his neck, he shouted to the next room, "Can't you wash it first and then give it to me?" ”
