"Old ...... Master, the political envoy did not accept our money, but sent someone to return it intact! After learning the news, the housekeeper hurriedly ran to report to Wen Pingyi.

"What? All the five thousand taels of silver were returned? Wen Pingyi couldn't help but be surprised after hearing the housekeeper's words.

"Yes, sir! According to the officials of the Governor's Palace, the envoy seemed very unhappy about this. The butler looked around and saw that there were no idle people waiting around before he dared to speak in a low voice.

"Hmph, it's right if he's not happy, he's obviously thinking that there is less silver! These dog officials, they are really faceless and skinless, every year my Wen family sends them so much silver, and they can't satisfy their appetite, is it really easy for my Wen family to bully? ”

"Since he sent the silver back, then there is no need to send it again, let's go another way!"

Wen Pingyi said that, and added this sentence to the housekeeper.

"Yes, sir! I'm going to deal with this matter right away. ”

The butler was about to go to the counter to withdraw the money, but he heard a noise outside.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Wen Pingyi was quite surprised by this, it had been a long time since anyone dared to make trouble at his Wen's door.

"Master, I'll take a look." After the butler finished speaking, he went straight to the door.

……

"Who are you, what do so many people want to do when they gather at my Wen door?" The janitor kept the man out of the door.

"This official is Hai Rui of Chun'an Zhi County, he just received an order from the political envoy to arrest the murderer, Wen Rong, the youngest son of the Wen family, killed people on the street, let's accompany this official on a trip!" Hai Rui spoke, and the guards of the Governor's Mansion behind him appeared.

"Hmph, just because you are a small magistrate, you also want to come to my Wen family to get people? Even if the prefect comes, you have to be polite! Hey, do you see the open space next to it? Take your men down there and wait, maybe my lord is in a good mood and will see you again! ”

After learning that Hai Rui was just a magistrate, the janitor began to speak up.

"Take it down for this official, if you encounter a rebel, you will be killed!" Hai Rui waved his hand violently, and the guards of the Governor's Mansion behind him pulled out their weapons from their waists and rushed forward like wolves seeing fat sheep.

"What are you doing? What do you do? This is the Wen family! Yes! I heard a scream, and the little guy who was not ashamed to speak before was struggling and was wiped on his neck.

I saw that his face was full of incredulity, his pupils dilated suddenly, and then he covered the knife at his throat with both hands, trying to slow down the speed of blood flowing, but to no avail, and his mouth made a 'ho-ho' sound.

As the blood continued to pour out, it could no longer support its body and fell to the ground! The blood gradually accumulated under him into a small pool of blood, and until the moment of death, he remained in the position of holding his hands to his throat.

"Killed, killed!"

Those people who had never seen such a scene were frightened and began to scream in disregard.

"Be quiet to this officer! If you dare to shout again, this is the end. ”

Hai Rui glanced at everyone coldly, then stepped over the corpse of the little maid and knocked on the door of the Wen Mansion.

'Knock knock! Knock knock! The sound of knocking on the door rang in everyone's ears, and looking at the dead corpse on the ground, everyone couldn't help but shudder, and at the same time, their bodies began to tremble uncontrollably.

"Who? Come on, come on, don't knock again! ”

At this time, the butler, who had just come to inquire about the situation, came to the door and opened the door.

"Who is this lord?" The butler looked Hai Rui up and down suspiciously.

"This official is Hai Rui of Chun'an Zhi County, and this time he received an order from the political envoy to arrest Wen Rong, the murderer who killed people on the street!" Hai Rui's tone was flat, without many ups and downs.

"Just ......" After listening to Hai Rui's self-introduction, the butler was about to make a mockery, when the peripheral eye of his eyes accidentally caught a glimpse of the corpse in a pool of blood! Immediately, I held back everything I wanted to say.

"Please wait, and let me go in and make an announcement." In just a moment, the butler's expression became extremely respectful.

"Well, you go in and report! This official is waiting for your news here. Hai Rui took the housekeeper's expression into his eyes and said lightly.

"Yes, yes, please wait a moment!" After the butler finished speaking, he ran away.

"Master, master, it's not good, the government sent someone to come to the door, saying that they wanted to take the young master away! Not only that, but he also killed one of my Wen family's janitors. The housekeeper came to Wen Pingyi panting and reported it.

"What? Who did the government send? Wen Pingyi was also shocked after listening to the housekeeper's words.

"He said he was Hai Rui of Chun'an Zhixian County! I came here on the orders of the envoy. After resting for a while, the housekeeper finally relieved himself and said to Wen Pingyi.

"This dog officer! Isn't it just that the silver given to him is less? He actually sent this Hai Rui to my Wen family to arrest people, and not only that, but also killed my Wen family's slaves! ”

"It's really unreasonable, you go with me!" Wen Pingyi said, glanced at the housekeeper with his spare eyes, gritted his teeth, and said.

"Yes, sir, please come with me." After the butler finished speaking, he walked ahead and led the way.

Under the leadership of the housekeeper, Wen Pingyi came to the door and saw Hai Rui at the same time.

"Below is the head of the Wen family, dare to ask why your lord came this time?" Wen Pingyi frowned and asked after seeing the corpse lying in a pool of blood on the ground.

"Isn't it self-explanatory? This official has been ordered by the political envoy to arrest the murderer! Hai Rui glanced at Wen Pingyi and said lightly.

Seeing that Hai Rui was so fearless, Wen Ping was angry and said in a deep voice: "Then in that case, why did the adults kill my Wen family's slaves?" ”

"If you intend to obstruct the official handling the case, you will kill if you kill it! What, do you have any comments? ”

"You, you, you!"

After hearing Hai Rui's words, Wen Pingyi was so angry that he pointed at Hai Rui with his index finger, and he was speechless for a long time.

"This official advises you to hand over the prisoner as soon as possible, otherwise, this official will punish you for the crime of covering up!" Hai Rui ignored Wen Pingyi's angry eyes and said in a deep voice.

"Okay, your name is Hai Rui, wait for me!" Wen Pingyi was completely enraged by Hai Rui's attitude, and stared at Hai Rui with a pair of eyes, as if he wanted to portray his face into his mind, word by word.

"What a crime should you be guilty of daring to threaten the imperial court!"

On the side, the guards of the Governor's Mansion saw this, and they all pulled out the long knives at their waists and glared at Wen Pingyi.

Looking at those bright long knives, Wen Pingyi secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva and held back all the words he wanted to say! He had reason to believe that if he dared to make a big statement, these long knives would really cut at him.

Hai Rui waved his hand, asked the guards of the Governor's Mansion behind him to put away the knife, and then looked directly into Wen Pingyi's eyes, and said word by word: "The patience of this official is limited, I advise you to hand over the prisoner quickly, otherwise, what will happen at that time will not be something that this official can control." ”

"You're threatening me!" Wen Pingyi was furious when he heard this.

"Yes, this official is threatening you, what can you do?" Hai Rui raised an eyebrow, his face full of mockery.

"Okay, good, Chun'an Zhixian Hai Rui, what you said is really beneficial!"

"Go and bring that evil animal to me and hand it over to the magistrate!"

Wen Pingyi forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart and instructed the housekeeper on the side.

"Master, this ......" the butler's face was full of hesitation.

"Don't go !! yet" Wen Pingyi exerted all his strength and roared angrily.

"Yes, sir! I'm going, I'm going. Seeing that Wen Pingyi was angry, the housekeeper left in a hurry.
