Li Yi is a person with an anxious personality, at this time he is holding the beauty horizontally to his chest, smelling the aroma of the beauty in his arms between his nose, and only feels that the blood of the beast is already boiling in his body.

Seeing that he was getting closer and closer to the door, he had already planned to kick the door open with his foot, and then do things directly at the tea table, anyway, he had been doing things neatly.

Who would have thought that at such a moment of enthusiasm, when he had already planned the operation process for the next three minutes, someone jumped out to block his way.

It's okay if the person who came was a high-ranking official, but it was still a sesame official wearing a six-grade official uniform, just a small and insignificant local county order.

Li Yi has never been good-tempered, not to mention that he has always regarded himself as the queen of Qiyang, and suddenly gritted his teeth and roared: "Get out of the way!" ”

This voice is not small, and it immediately attracted the attention of many people.

"What's the situation?"

"Li Yi's good deeds have been ruined!"

"Who is that person, it's too short-sighted, isn't it?"

……

There are many noble-born sons and daughters in this green building, and there are also officials who stay in Nanjing to retire, and they all look over to this side this time, and they can't help but talk about it.

They naturally know this high-profile Li Yi, although this martial artist has declined since then, everyone knows how brilliant Li Yi's ancestors are.

Even the current emperor has to thank the Li family, it is the ancestor of this line, Li Jinglong, who led the army to defeat Taizong's army, and took the initiative to open the gate of Nanjing, which made it easier for Dazong to win the world.

Now although the Li family has declined, after all, it still enjoys the treatment of the founding general, and Li Yi joined the Jiangnan business through his classmates.

It's just that no one thought that a small official wearing a six-grade official uniform would dare to have a conflict with Li Yi, which was like hitting a stone with an egg.

"This county is the sea width of Taiping Zhi County, if you don't cooperate obediently, then this county has to be rough!" Hai Kuan faced Li Yi's red-eyed drinking, but responded coldly.

Haikuan is the top three jinshi of Hongzhi Enke, the first time he was appointed to Chun'an County, and because of his outstanding performance during his tenure in Chun'an, he was transferred to Nanjing to serve as Jiangning County.

Although his resume is not as dazzling as Zhang Sui, Xu Hong and Yu Ming of the same year, he is also a solid and capable parent official with a good official reputation.

It is precisely because he knows Li Yi's arrogance that he personally brought the arrest over this time, and it would be good if the other party obediently cooperated, otherwise he would have to exercise the power of the county magistrate in person.

"Let the slaves come down!"

The beautiful Qinglou woman saw that Zhixian Haikuan was blocking here, and found that the surrounding eyes were all concerned, and even patted Li Yidao.

Li Yi saw that his good deeds were destroyed, and the anger in his heart had been ignited: "Haizhi County, if you suspect that the master is related to the gold robbery, then come up with evidence, otherwise the master is not playing with you today!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone immediately pricked up their ears.

The gold robbery is actually an open secret, and everyone knows that the two elders from the imperial court attach great importance to this case, and now they are also mobilizing the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate in secret.

Although there are also rumors that Li Yi did it, it is just a rumor, and Li Yi is now visiting the Qinglou as a proper white prostitute party, and even has a lot of romantic accounts in the Qinglou.

Lei Ming and the others also turned their heads to look at Haikuan, but their eyes were full of doubts.

"Li Yi, the gold robbery is a major case of the imperial court, and this county has no right to investigate! It's just that you are related to a case of missing women, and now I suspect that you are suspected of abduction and trafficking of women, so please go back to the county government with this county! Haikuan patiently explained, and then directly explained the meaning.

Although he also wanted to share the sorrows of the Holy Son, he also knew his duty.

The teachings of the saints: If you give up, you will hide

Now that he is the magistrate of Jiangning, his biggest responsibility is to be a good parent official, not to investigate any gold case to show his ability.

Trafficking in women?

When the people present heard this charge, they couldn't help but look at each other.

Don't look at the decline of the Li family now, but they also enjoy the treatment of the founding generals, and Li Yi is mixed with Zheng Jie's gang, so it is unlikely that he can make money by abducting and selling women.

On the contrary, this seemingly upright magistrate does not seem to have no purpose.

The beautiful Qinglou woman was very resistant to this kind of thing, especially since she was abducted and trafficked to become a prostitute, and glanced at Li Yi with disdain.

Li Yi's face suddenly became gloomy, but he said viciously: "Haizhi County, beware of the trouble coming out of the mouth, how could the young master do the abduction and trafficking of women?" If you don't give the master an explanation, the master will let you die today without a place to be buried! ”

Lei Ming and the others were still looking at this magistrate who dared to deal with Li Yi, but at this moment, they couldn't help but look at Haikuan worriedly.

"Li Yi, I don't know where the little peach is?" Haikuan was unmoved, but asked very seriously.

When Li Yi heard this name, he couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

"Little Peach was originally a maid in your house, but because you took a fancy to her, you often took her out with you! It's just that now Xiao Taohong's parents have come to complain, and since the first month of this year, people have been taken out by you and have not returned, and there is no explanation! Haikuan stretched out his hand and pointed to explain his intention.

Unlike previous dynasties, the servants of the Ming Dynasty were not private property. Now that the maid has suddenly disappeared, then an explanation is needed, rather than ignoring the parents of the sufferer.

Li Yi secretly scolded Xiao Taohong's parents in his heart, and quickly shirked his responsibility: "She is just a personal maid of the master!" When she arrived in the field, she found an opportunity to steal the master's property and ran away, and the master has not held her accountable! You go back and tell her parents that you want to blackmail the master for money, but there is no door! ”

As he spoke, he saw that his prey had left, and immediately wanted to leave this place of right and wrong.

"Li Yi, is this the case, please go back to the county to confront Xiao Taohong's parents!" Haikuan saw that Li Yi wanted to leave, so he asked him to stop him.

Although what Li Yi said was not unfounded, and some evil slaves had also taken away the master's money in other places, he vaguely felt that things were not so simple.

What's more, there is a disappearance of people in the place under his rule, since he is Jiang Ning's parent official, he naturally has no reason to sit idly by, but wants to find out the matter.

Li Yi's face suddenly became angry, but he raised his shelf and scolded: "You are just a small magistrate, what power do you have to dare to control the master?" Do you want the master to confront the two untouchables in the court, are you crazy, where do you want the master to put his face? ”

There are not all unreasonable people around, although I have long known that Li Yi is arrogant, but I didn't expect to be so arrogant. Even if you lose someone's daughter, what reason is there not to make it clear.

As for what he said about fleeing with money, this statement is not necessarily true.

"Li Yi, please also pay attention to your identity! You have no official or position, I am a protégé of the Son of Heaven, Jiangning Zhixian appointed by the imperial court, why can't this county manage you? Li Kuan and Li Yi's eyes met, but they showed their identity.

Although the water in Jiangnan is indeed very deep, and there are many people who cannot be provoked, he has never been a coward who is afraid of power. Since he took office in Chun'an County, he has not done a single thing that has no conscience.

Even if the founding hero in front of him is so hand-to-hand after the founding feat, he has no fear, but wants to make Xiao Taohong's life and death clear.

"Haikuan? Interesting! ”

Lei Ming's responsibility is to supervise hundreds of officials, and now when he sees a magistrate who is so unafraid of power, he can't help but secretly look at this thin middle-aged man.

Li Yi saw that this little magistrate was so ignorant, so he directly threatened: "Haizhi County, do you think your hat is too uncomfortable, or do you want to die violently?" ”

In the past year, the Jiangnan officialdom has been full of strange things, and there are always officials who die unexpectedly.

Although every official seems to have died normally, too many coincidences cannot be coincidences, so everyone knows that this matter is inseparable from the Jiangnan gentry group.

Now that these words are being said, they are actually a naked threat.

It's just that judging from Haikuan's official position, I'm afraid that he can't enjoy the treatment of being assassinated, and it is more likely that the black gauze hat on his head is not guaranteed.

You must know that even Hai Rui, who came to Nanzhili to uphold justice as the governor of Yingtian, was still transferred to Nanjing to take up an idle position, forcing Hai Rui to resign in anger.

"Although Jiangnan is now smoky and miasma, Ranying tomorrow is in the court, you can let this county die, but as long as the official does not bend the law for bribes and does not collude with others, then it is impossible for Your Majesty to take off the black yarn hat of this county! Come on, escort him back to the county office! Haikuan bowed his hand to the north, and then gave the order without fear.

Several catchers had already been conquered by Haikuan's personal charm, and even stepped forward to arrest Li Yi.

"Wait!"

It was then that a neutral voice came from the staircase.

Everyone turned their heads to look over, and it turned out to be a dignified-looking little old man. Although he didn't wear an official uniform, his bearing was extraordinary, and he knew at a glance that he was a person of status.

"Hou Zhan?"

Lei Ming saw the people coming down from the upper floors from a distance, and his eyes flashed with surprise.

Although Nanjing has been reduced to the capital of the court, it has another complete set of spare imperial courts, of which the household department is in charge of the finances of Nanzhili.

Hou Zan was a Jinshi of Jingtai for five years, and was first appointed as the head of the household department, and was promoted to the head of the household department, and then he was released to the prefect of Fengxiang, Shanxi. Although the local appointment was not impressive, it took nine years to rise in seniority.

In the same year, when Li Min, Li Si and Ye Qi served as court officials in the household department, he finally boiled up to the position of the left attendant of the household department in Nanjing, which can be regarded as an alternative to the future household department Shangshu.

Hou Zan not only has qualifications, but also has the actual position of the left waiter of Nanjing's household department, and has a bright future, so he is also a very bright existence in this Nanjing city.

Haikuan faced Hou Zhan, who suddenly appeared, and also saluted in a proper manner: "Xiaguan Jiangningzhi County Haikuan sees Hou Shilang!" ”

"You are the county governor of Jiangning? This official has heard of you, you have done a good job in Chun'an Zhi County! Hou Zan looked at this junior, but praised him.

Haikuan was slightly stunned, but he said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Hou Shilang praised it falsely!" Whether it is in Chun'an or Jiangning, the lower officials are just dutiful! ”

"What a dutiful one, you're very good! The old man just heard the reason for your dispute upstairs, but this servant disappeared and grabbed the master's house and went back to ask about it, is this move too hasty? "Hou Zan is an old fritter in officialdom, but he secretly protects Li Yidao.

When Li Yi saw Hou Zhan, an old fox, come forward, he knew that there was no need to worry about things at all.

Haikuan realized that Hou Zan was going to help Li Yi, but he frowned and said, "Hou Shilang, summoning Li Yi is a deliberate decision of the lower officials, and it is not hasty!" However, Hou Shilang didn't know about the case and wanted to stop the lower officials, was this move too hasty? ”

Pretty!

Lei Ming and the other melon-eating groups couldn't help but praise themselves secretly when they saw Haikuan actually return the words to Hou Zhan.

"Haizhi County, the old man has been an official for many years, and I only hope that you can act in accordance with the imperial decrees, instead of indiscriminately destroying the local peace!" Hou Zhan's face sank suddenly, and he buckled down his hat and said.

"Hou Shilang is right, how can the peace of the place be destroyed!"

"A Diao Min is going to arrest someone in a few words, is there still a royal law?"

"After Li Yi is a hero of the Ming Dynasty, what are you doing to harm the heart of the entire Nanjing City after the meritorious service?"

……

As soon as the words fell, the sons and brothers who had just heard the news stood up in solidarity, but pointed the finger directly at the little Jiangning Zhixian Haikuan.

The so-called local tranquility is simply a sharp weapon for the literati to deal with local officials, and once the group of literati below makes trouble, the board of the imperial court will often hit the local officials.

The reason why the local officials of the Ming Dynasty are timid is that the official gentry group has a strong public opinion attack, and now Haikuan's arrest of Li Yi is to create "local peace".

The corners of Li Yi's mouth rose, and he looked at this little magistrate who was not able to do anything about himself.

Lei Ming and the others watched the development of the situation, but they knew that a small magistrate could not fight Li Yi, who had the support of the Jiangnan official gentry group behind him.

Haikuan faced Hou Zhan's attack, but he said seriously: "Hou Shilang is right, the lower officials should act according to the imperial court decree, and now I also want to ask where are the two daughters Xiangniang and Xia Lian brought by your son Hou Haotian?" ”

"Inuzi has recently responded to the imperial decree, so he is also going to sea to do business! As for carrying two girls, the dog is indeed already amorous, but I don't know what's wrong with this move? Hou Zan has always been proud of his smart son, and he seems very disdainful.

Haikuan admonished seriously: "Hou Shilang, instead of trying to protect Li Yi here, it is better to recall your son as soon as possible." The imperial court has just issued a decree: Anyone who dares to sell a woman of our tribe abroad will have no property from the murderer's family and pay one-tenth of the hardships of the master's parents. If you can't find our woman in a year, the whole family will be punished! ”

As soon as these words came out, there was silence all around.

Although they already knew that the current emperor was a tyrant, they never expected that such a decree would be issued, which was simply to completely put an end to the way of trafficking Chinese women overseas.

Hou Zhan's sweat was like rain, and his brain was buzzing.

At this time, he was no longer proud of his son's excellence, but he hated his son, and only hoped that his son could bring the two women back safe and sound.

If he really dares to give his woman to the Japanese daimyo, then his Hou family is really finished.

Mutter......

Li Yi, who was still proud just now, swallowed and spat with difficulty, but looked at Haikuan in great horror.

Hey?

Lei Ming has been observing Li Yi's reaction, but he caught the panic from Li Yi's expression, and Xiao Taohong's matter is probably eyebrows.

Haikuan didn't think too much, and seeing that there was no one to stop him, he asked his subordinates to escort Li Yi back to Jiangning County for interrogation. (End of chapter)
