Zhang Yuqing got out of the carriage and walked into the dirty noodle restaurant.

An old woman came out of the backyard of the noodle restaurant, on crutches, with a lame leg, and her face was covered with weather, looking particularly old.

Seeing that the owner of the noodle shop was pressed to the ground by the tall guards, she immediately panicked, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the guards, begging the guards to spare her son.

"He's your son?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

The noodle shop owner's face was pressed to the ground, and there was a lot of mud, and when he heard this, he exclaimed, "No! He writhed desperately and shouted, "I did it, and I came alone!" ”

The old woman wept silently, but she did not dare to speak any more.

"Bring it back to the county office!" Zhang Yuqing commanded.

When they arrived at the Baochuan County Office, the guards also caught the two people who bought flour who ran away.

This group of people was ingenious, and divided the noodle bag into two layers, the upper layer was a thin layer of flour, and the bottom was full of refined salt.

Kou Leguo immediately went to court to try the case and asked the three to confess their accomplices, but the owner of the noodle restaurant took all the responsibility on himself, saying that he did it all by himself and did not have any accomplices.

The two men who bought the flour kept complaining that they had been hired by the owner of the noodle shop, and that when they took the flour out of the city, someone would pick them up and pay them, and they didn't know anything.

The three of them were very stiff-mouthed and refused to admit their guilt, and Kou Leguo was tried for a long time without results, so he had to ask the officials to put the three in prison first.

At this time, the person sent by Zhang Yuqing to inquire also returned.

"This person's real name is Liu Quan, it is said that he climbed up the tree dozens of meters high in an instant, and he is very dexterous, so he is nicknamed Curly Monkey, and he found the lost salt from the backyard of his noodle shop!" The guard whispered in Zhang Yuqing's ear.

Zhang Yuqing looked through the gap in the curtain at the noodle shop owner in the cell. The dogskin hat worn by the noodle shop owner had fallen off during the fight, revealing a head of black curly hair.

"It's not like the Great Xia people." Zhang Yuqing said. The hair of the people of Daxia is black and straight, and only among the Hu people is curly hair.

The guard said: "His parents are both from Daxia, but the village where his family is located was looted by the Hu people, and his mother was ...... Later, she gave birth to him. He doesn't look like a Great Xia person, and he is definitely not his father's species, his father left him and his mother, and he doesn't know where he went. ”

Zhang Yuqing thought of the old woman with a weathered face.

This Liu Quan is in his early twenties, and his mother is at most forty years old, but if you look at the old woman, everyone believes her when she says she is sixty.

It must be not easy to raise a child under the ridicule and shame of others, and I have endured a lot of hardships.

"I inquired with the neighbors left and right, and after Liu Quan's father ran away, his mother couldn't stay in the village with him, so she came to Baochuan County, begged for food, worked as a coolie, and also stole petty, and finally survived until now. Liu Quanchang is like that, and no one wants to associate with them. Recently, a few people came to Liu Quan and called him brothers. The guard said.

Zhang Yuqing lowered the curtain and separated the line of sight.

"Let's go back to the capital first." Zhang Yuqing said that when Liu Quan first entered the prison, it was the time when he was hard-mouthed, so he was locked up for two days to kill his ambition.

When Lu Wei came back in the evening and heard about it, he was immediately displeased, Zhang Yuqing actually took a few guards to arrest people, it was too reckless.

"Those people dare to steal illicit salt, they must be extremely vicious, how can you take risks alone?" Lu Wei's brows were furrowed and he could kill the flies, "Why don't you go to me?" ”

Zhang Yuqing had to explain: "It was too late, if you didn't arrive at the noodle restaurant in time, people might have run away!" ”

"What about the criminals?" Lu Wei asked.

Zhang Yuqing said: "I'm in prison, and one is harder than the other. ”

Lu Wei sneered, "What else is there to try?" Kill the other two in front of one person, are you afraid to say it? If you really don't say it, the three of them will be killed together! Baochuan is so big, I don't believe that I can't find the accomplices of these three people! ”

They didn't make a big search before, but they didn't want to startle the snake and let outsiders know about the salt.

Lu Wei also wants to open it now, the private salt business is getting bigger and bigger, it can produce thousands of catties a day, sooner or later it will not be able to hide it, if it is because he is afraid of being discovered, it almost caused Zhang Yuqing to fall into danger, then it is better not to hide it anymore.

"How can you kill it so easily!" Zhang Yuqing shook his head amusedly, Lu Wei is now an iron-blooded general, and he can't look down on this group of chickens and dogs, and he just wants to get rid of people.

Lu Wei snorted coldly, "Why can't you?" ”

He can't even deal with a few thieves with a four-grade division? Then he might as well go back to the capital and find a way to die with the emperor and the crown prince!

Zhang Yuqing said: "You also said that they are all extremely vicious, of course they have to try their comrades, otherwise they will wait for an opportunity to retaliate against me in the future, what should I do?" If you are not afraid of thieves stealing, you are afraid of thieves, and there is no reason to prevent thieves for a thousand days. ”

Lu Wei's heart moved, and he said: "That's true, they will definitely find a way to retaliate, it's better to start today, you and I stay together at twelve o'clock, whoever dares to come, I will slash him with a knife!" ”

With him, who can move a single hair of Zhang Yuqing?

Zhang Yuqing laughed, obviously thinking that Lu Wei was telling a joke.

Lu Wei's face was ugly, "What are you laughing at?" Do you think I can't beat them, or do you think we can't stay together for twelve hours? ”

Zhang Yuqing didn't expect Lu Wei to be more energetic, she naturally couldn't question Lu Wei's ability, and hurriedly coaxed: "How can we be together at twelve o'clock, and we won't do anything anymore?" There's so much to deal with! ”

However, this answer did not satisfy Lu Wei, he glared at Zhang Yuqing coldly, feeling that Zhang Yuqing clearly refused to stay with him for twelve hours.

Is she still thinking of the Luo family's cousin in her heart?

"It's not early, you're tired from the barracks for a day, rest early!" Zhang Yuqing said, feeling more and more that Lu Wei is really a big official now, and his joy and anger are unpredictable.

She's going to rest, too, and she's not going to wait!

At this moment, a guard outside reported that an old woman was kneeling at the door of the Dusi Mansion and crying, begging the Lord and Mrs. to spare Liu Quan's life.

"Do you still have the courage to beg for mercy?" Lu Wei said coldly, waving his big hand, "Drag it out, throw it away!" ”

Thinking that Zhang Yuqing had faced this group of bad guys, Lu Wei was so angry that he wanted to cut off the heads of all these people.

Zhang Yuqing hurriedly stopped, "Wait, ask clearly!" Then he commanded the guards, "Bring them to the front yard, and I will see her." ”

Maybe you know some inside information.

It was snowing heavily, and Liu Quan's mother knelt in the snow until her hands and feet were cold, and after being helped to a warm room by the guards, she almost sat on the ground with weak legs.

Zhang Yuqing ordered to move a chair for her.

Compared to the official residences of other adults, the Dusi Mansion can even be called simple, but this is already the most luxurious place that Liu Quan's mother has ever seen.

The room was warm, the seats were still upholstered, and the lady in front of her was young and beautiful, like a fairy concubine in the play.

"You are Liu Quan's mother?" Zhang Yuqing asked.

Liu Quan's mother dragged a broken leg and wanted to kowtow to Zhang Yuqing, but Zhang Yuqing raised her hand to stop her.

"Madame, please spare his life!" Liu Quan's mother sobbed, and at the age of less than forty, she was already full of gray hair.

Zhang Yuqing leaned back and said with a smile: "Do you know what he has done?" ”

Liu Quan's mother wept and said: "Since you and Lord Dusi came to Baochuan, there have been no unjust cases in Baochuan, and those who are officials don't dare to bully our people!" Liu Quan must have committed a big crime, otherwise he would not have been imprisoned. ”

"You don't even know what crime he has committed, so you dare to come and beg for mercy?" Zhang Yuqing put away her smiling face.

"Liu Quan, he's confused!" Liu's mother Yang cried, "It's me who is not good, causing Liu Quan to be looked down upon since he was a child, and in order to survive, he has to steal other people's things...... A few days ago, a few people who didn't know where they came from found him, saying that they appreciated him, wanted to make friends with him, and called him a brother, Liu Quan, how could he be so looked up to, and he did whatever he wanted him to do! He was deceived by those people! Those people just know that he can climb high and low, and they will use him to steal things! ”

Zhang Yuqing sat up straight, leaned forward, and asked solemnly, "Who are those people?" ”

Liu's mother shook her head, "I don't know, Liu Quan has a grudge against me in his heart, he usually doesn't talk to me, and he doesn't allow me to take care of his affairs." ”

Zhang Yuqing was disappointed, she thought that Liu Quan's mother could provide some information.

"You are his biological mother, raised him, as a son of man, he is unfilial and disregardful, and you still have to intercede for him?" Zhang Yuqing asked coldly.

Mother Liu knelt on the ground from the chair in fright, and cried: "Madam, Liu Quan is actually a good boy!" I'm not in good health, I've been sick for three days, I said that I raised him, but in fact, he raised me since I was a child, if I hadn't been hungry when I was a child, Liu Quan wouldn't have grown so short...... What ability can a little older child have to support himself and his mother, and it doesn't depend on stealing...... Others couldn't catch him, and they grabbed me, who was dragging him down, and that's how my leg was broken...... Since then, he has vowed never to steal again...... Even the noodle shop uses my name, and if he hadn't been deceived this time, he wouldn't have been able to do bad things anyway! ”

The northwestern winter night wind howled across the rooftops and treetops, and the only silence in the house was the sorrow of the old woman.

Zhang Yuqing was silent for a long time, and said: "I'll take you to the prison, if you can move him and let him confess the rest of his accomplices, I can spare his life." ”

Yang cried with joy and dragged a broken leg to kowtow to Zhang Yuqing.

Zhang Yuqing walked out of the door, and suddenly felt that something cold had fallen on his hand, and when he looked up, there were snowflakes floating in the sky again, and the biting north wind carried the snow through the yard, like a white mist.

There is not much in this world, only there are many hard-working people, Zhang Yuqing thought silently in her heart.

"Let's go." Lu Wei walked out of the window.

Apparently the man had been crouching beside him, listening to the movement in the house.

Zhang Yuqing laughed in her heart, Lu Wei is a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted person, saying that he would cut all these people, but in fact, he couldn't bear it in his heart, and he still wanted to ask for a clear understanding.

In the prison, when Yang saw Liu Quan, he cried and crawled over, shouting: "Quan'er! All! ”

Liu Quanzheng fell asleep, heard the cry, was shocked, and shouted angrily at Zhang Yuqing and Lu Wei next to him: "A good man does things alone!" What are you doing arresting my wife! ”

Luo Danyan: The man will miss me every two days, and I think I should be the second male in this book!
