"What are you doing sitting in the seat of the Governor? What about the Governor? ”

He Maocai was quite surprised by this, and hurriedly asked.

"Your Excellency the Governor has important matters to deal with, and I am responsible for all the affairs of the Governor's Mansion recently."

Zheng Michang raised his eyebrows, turned his gaze to He Maocai, and said loudly.

"You're so flustered, what's wrong?" Zheng Michang observed the look on He Maocai's face and asked.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, it's just that the son of the salt merchant in the city accidentally killed someone, and now the victim's family is carrying the body and making a fuss in the city!" After He Mao finished speaking, his face was full of distress.

"It's not a big deal, if you provoke a civil uprising at that time, you will feel good! Where are the family members? The official also went with you. ”

After listening to He Maocai's narration, Zheng Michang hurriedly got up from the chair and said eagerly.

"Well, okay, come with me." He Maocai said, and led the way in front, and Zheng Michang also led a large group of guards, followed closely and went out of the Governor's Palace.

……

On the street, crowds gathered and discussed.

"What's wrong? How could someone pull a corpse out into the street in broad daylight? Someone pointed to the corpse on the cart and asked the people around him.

"You don't know yet, that's Zhang Shou, the son of the Zhang family, who makes a living by selling some calligraphy and paintings on weekdays! Somehow offended the Wen family, and was beaten to death by the Wen family's youngest son, Wen Rong, on the street, and it is said that many people saw it! ”

"It's really a sin, that Zhang Shou is gone like this, what should his old mother and daughter-in-law do?"

"Alas, what can be done, the government will not accept this case, this is to force them to death!"

"This Wen family is one of the top salt merchants in Hangzhou, and they are good friends with many officials on weekdays, who dares to take the risk of offending them?"

"The way of the world, alas!"

"Shhhh

……

Just as the crowd was talking, a column of officials ran over from a distance, and when the crowd saw this, they instantly dispersed as birds and beasts.

"Why are you two going to do this, can't you honestly take the money and leave?"

"Besides, this deceased man was unable to steal the Wen family's money, and then became angry and wanted to commit murder, which caused this evil result! It has nothing to do with the youngest son of the Wen family. ”

Among the officials, a leader stood up, looked at Zhang Shou's old mother and wife who were kneeling on the ground, and admonished in a low voice.

"My lord, he is the husband of the slave family, what is his character, don't the slave family know it? It is absolutely impossible for him to do such a thing, he has been wronged, and please make the decision for us! Zhang Shou's wife said, knelt on the ground, and sobbed.

"Hmph, Zhang Shou is my son, I grew up with me, he will never do such a reluctant thing, you corrupt officials and evil officials, you obviously received other people's money, I'm sorry!" Zhang Shou's old mother said, barely supporting her body with a cane, stood up from the ground, and spat in her face.

"Old thing, don't be ashamed, give me a beating! By the way, the body was also dragged to the mass grave outside the city and buried by the official! ”

The previous leader wiped the spit from his face and said angrily.

"My lord, this ......" The rest of the people had a look of hesitation on their faces, and they didn't dare to make a move.

In broad daylight, not to mention bullying other orphans and widows, even seventy or eighty-year-old people do not let go! If this matter gets out at that time, there is no need for them to mix in the yamen.

"You bunch of shit! What do you eat? Seeing that his subordinates were unwilling to make a move, the previous official scolded and scolded.

"Hmph, let me do it!" The official snatched away the old lady's crutches that supported her body, and then gently pushed, and in an instant, the old lady's body lost its balance and fell heavily to the ground.

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you? You okay? Mother, mother! Seeing this, Zhang Shou's wife hurriedly leaned over to check on her mother's condition, her face full of anxiety.

"What are you doing in a daze? Don't hurry up and drag the body away from the official! Seeing the embarrassed appearance of Zhang Shou's old mother, a trace of happiness appeared on the official's face.

"Yes, yes, yes." Seeing this, the remaining officials hurriedly took action, wanting to pull the cart away.

"Stop, what are you doing in broad daylight!"

Not far away, Zheng Michang got down from the sedan chair, followed by a large group of guards from the Governor's Palace.

"What does this official do, I still need you to ......" The previous official did not raise his head, and subconsciously threatened.

And when he saw clearly the official uniform on Zheng Michang's body and the guards of the Governor's Mansion following behind him, his mouth closed suddenly.

"What the fuck, you dare to call yourself an official? Don't look at what you are! ”

Zheng Michang said, stepped forward quickly, kicked the official in the chest, and then lifted him up, and slapped him twice.

"Big ...... My lord, the lower official has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, and he bumped into the adult with his words! Please also punish the adults. ”

"You are still a subordinate official, you are just a little yamen official, and you dare to call yourself a subordinate official in front of this official?" Zheng Michang said, and slapped it twice.

"Kneel down for this officer!" After Zheng Michang gave such an order, he stopped looking at him.

All the officers were confiscated by the guards of the governor's palace and knelt on the ground with their superiors.

"What's going on here?" He Maocai, who was on the side, also showed his figure at the right time and asked.

Seeing that a savior was coming, Zhang Shou's wife immediately kowtowed like pounding garlic, and sobbed: "My lord, please be the master of the slave family!" ”

"Say, what happened, this official is He Maocai, the envoy of Zhejiang, and this is Zheng Michang, the political envoy of Zhejiang! Tell us all your grievances, and we will make decisions for you. He Maocai glanced at the guards on the side, and soon a guard stepped forward and helped Zhang Shou's old mother up.

"Get her to the hospital, she's not right! With the sedan chair of the official. He Maocai observed the face of Zhang Shou's mother for a while, and immediately instructed.

"Yes!" Seeing this, the guards on the side immediately helped Zhang Shou's old mother to the sedan chair and sent her to the hospital.

"My lord, nothing will happen to my mother, right?" Zhang Shou's wife couldn't help but worry when she saw the old lady being helped away.

"As long as the treatment is timely, nothing will happen." He Maocai opened his mouth and comforted him.

"Lord Qingtian!"

After Zhang Shou's wife knelt on the ground, the crowd that had gathered to watch the excitement also knelt down and said in a deep voice.

"This, this, this...... What are you doing here? Hurry up! Seeing this, Zheng Michang hurriedly spoke.

"Yes, yes, please get up!" He Maocai also followed and said.

After Zheng Michang and He Maocai helped up all the people present, they turned to Zhang Shou's wife to ask the reason: "Say, what happened?" ”

Seeing this, Zhang Shou's wife explained what happened: "My lord, this is how things ......"

After Zhang Shou's wife's narration, Zheng Michang understood the twists and turns, as He Maocai said before, Wen Rong, the youngest son of the Wen family in the city, for some reason, saw Zhang Shou who sold calligraphy and paintings quite unhappy, so he killed someone on the street!

"You said you would fight it, and you would beat it in broad daylight in front of so many people, and the key was to beat people to death! Isn't this adding chaos to the government? Dealing with you is not, not dealing with you is not. Zheng Michang thought so in his heart.

"Don't worry, this official will definitely get justice for you!"

Zheng Michang looked around and said in a deep voice.

"Put this group of black sheep who smear the image of the government to this official! Heavy penalties! ”

"Yes!"
