Just as the two were talking, they suddenly saw a group of people in the distance. Fang Jinzhi and Tianxing glanced at each other, and then squeezed into the crowd. As soon as he approached him, he heard an old man sitting in front of a carriage, holding his leg in one hand and pulling a man's clothes in the other. "My legs!! My leg is broken!! "It's you who hit me, don't run, you're going to lose money to me!!" The old man's face was covered in blood, and his face was full of pain, and he looked miserable. The man who was pulled by the old man had a face full of flesh and a fierce look. Hearing the old man's words, the man pointed at the old man and scolded:

"Old fellow, I think you're tired of being alive." "If you dare to blackmail money to the master's head, the master will send you back to the west today." "You want money? The master has money, but the master will wait for you to die and burn it for you!! So saying, the man was about to return to the carriage, and it seemed that he was really trying to crush the old man to death.

When the old man saw this, he immediately wanted to retreat with a panicked face. Just when Fang Jinzhi wanted to step forward to help, the officials of Tianjing New City finally arrived. "Stop!!" The officials quickly entered the scene, and without saying a word, they arrested all the people on both sides. "My lord, I was wronged." When the man saw the arrival of the servant, he didn't dare to be arrogant anymore and shouted that he was wronged.

"Now you can remain silent for disrupting public transport and arresting you for intentional injury." "But everything you say will be used as evidence in court." As he spoke, he took all the men and the carriage away, and even the old man was also taken away. There is no trace of mud and water, and the work is extremely fast.

Fang Jinzhi felt that the efficiency of these officials was quite high, and he was very satisfied. "Looks like that man is going to jail." "Jail? What do you do in prison? "Tomorrow the man is expected to be acquitted." A common man next to him laughed at Fang Jinzhi's ignorance.

Fang Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, and looked at the person who spoke inexplicably. The man smiled and said mysteriously: "Hehe, this person is not simple, we Dali Temple adults know him." "You'll see tomorrow." Fang Jinzhi was puzzled. This man hurts people in the street, and even takes people's lives, can he still get away with punishment in this way?

Let's see how this Dali Temple will judge the case? If Dali Temple dares to bend the law for personal gain, we will never let him go! In recent days, Fang Jinzhi has been tired from running around, and he doesn't have the heart to go out for a stroll at night. Because he had to get up early tomorrow morning to see the trial of Dali Temple, Fang Jinzhi went to bed early.

But this night, Fang Jinzhi didn't sleep well, he only felt that the outside world was very noisy, even at night, the sound of the outside world did not stop. And thinking about this afternoon's events, Fang Jinzhi tossed and turned until the early hours of the morning before he could sleep. But not long after falling asleep, Fang Jinzhi woke up.

After many years of habit of going to the morning court, he woke up early before dawn. Seeing that the sky was still dark outside, Fang Jinzhi directly began to wash and dress. In his opinion, it won't be long before Dali Temple should open a court trial. After all, there are so many things in Tianjing New City every day, and if he wants to deal with it, he has to get up early and go to bed late.

Soon, Fang Jinzhi called all the people in the group. This time to see the Dali Temple trial, Fang Jinzhi must bring his two subordinates. A few people quickly finished washing, the sky was bright, and they went out to Dali Temple. What Fang Jinzhi didn't expect was that even if it was so early, the street had already begun to shout.

But this time, all the selling is some breakfast, steamed buns and the like. Looking at the cries on both sides of the street, Fang Jinzhi didn't know how to describe this feeling.

On this day, Jingxin City is so busy day and night, and it never stops. However, Fang Jinzhi was in a hurry to see the trial, so naturally he was not in the mood to eat breakfast next to him, so he was just in a hurry. After a while, Fang Jinzhi finally arrived at the gate of Dali Temple. However, unlike the bustle on the street, the entrance of this Dali Temple was empty, and even the official hall gate of Tianjing New City was not opened. Fang Jinzhi directly motioned to the guards to come forward and knock on the door, but after knocking for a long time, no one answered.

It seems that there is really no one in Dali Temple now. Fang Jinzhi suddenly felt incredible, looking at the sun that was about to rise, Fang Jinzhi felt that this Dali Temple had forgotten the hour today. Immediately, Fang Jinzhi turned his head and saw a breakfast stall not far away, so he turned around and walked towards the stall.

"Hello, may I ask why our Dali Temple is not worth it yet?" "You're an outsider, aren't you?" The boss was a middle-aged man with a kind face, and the other party Jinzhi explained: "Our Dali Temple adults only start work at two o'clock (9 o'clock). Fang Jinzhi was shocked: "When is it?? Isn't that already the third pole of the day? "What if someone is handling the case?"

The boss said kindly: "Don't worry, if you report the case, go to the police station, there will be someone on duty at any time." "If something really happens, the police station will send officials to solve it." Police station? What's that? How come we've never heard of this agency? "Boss, what is this police station?" The boss took the trouble to continue to answer:

"The police station was specially set up by the city lord to settle neighborhood disputes?" "Whether it's in the area or downward, there is a police station." "Aren't there many schools in our Tianjing New Town?" "After graduating, the outstanding students of these schools can go to work in the police station."

Fang Jinzhi understood, isn't this the township old system he set up? It's just that he asked the gentry in the township to help govern, and Yang Peng asked the police station to help govern, and it was more thorough. However, what Fang Jinzhi is really angry about is Yang Peng's passivity and neglect, and he does everything to the police station, so what is he doing?

"The city lord is so lazy, isn't he afraid that government affairs will be lax and cause resentment among the people?" The boss said: "Then you are wrong, our city lord said, these Diao people are all big." "It is more than enough to hand it over to the police station for mediation, and only if it hurts people and kills people, our Dali Temple will come forward to solve it." "Otherwise, some idle things are enough for the city lord to be busy, where is the heart to think about how to develop Tianjing New City?" Fang Jinzhi was stunned for a moment, feeling that there was some truth in what he said, but what was wrong.

was about to continue asking, but there was a guest next to him, and Fang Jinzhi didn't want to disturb the boss doing business. also sat down directly and asked the boss to serve him some steamed porridge to eat. In this way, Fang Jinzhi waited until half past nine, and the door of the yamen slowly opened.

"Wei ~ Wu ~" The people who came to hear the trial crowded at the gate of the county government one after another, wanting to see how Dali Temple tried the case. Hua Jieyu, dressed in an official robe, sat high in the lobby, patted the wood, and drank: "Bring the prisoner up." Soon, the officials pressed an old man and the man from yesterday into the court.

Fang Jinzhi saw that both of them were wearing a pair of silver-white bracelets on their hands, which looked extremely strange. However, the people are accustomed to it, and it seems that this is a local torture instrument in Tianjing New Town. "Who's in the hall?" "My lord, it's me! Have I eaten with you in heaven and on earth? ”

The man also hurriedly spoke up, hoping that Hua Jieyu would recognize him. "Shut up, above the court, how can you be allowed to climb your relatives and bring your past?" Hua Jieyu interrupted directly, and shouted: "If you dare to talk nonsense, I will press you down and hit the board." The man immediately lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, but what was strange was that the old man had been burying his head deeply since he came to the lobby, as if he was afraid of being seen by Hua Jieyu.

Hua Xie Yu turned his head to look at the official next to him and asked, "Why were they arrested?" "Lord Qiyu, the man hit someone in a carriage." "Another carriage hit?" Hua Jieyu's brows furrowed. Then he looked at the person who was hit, as if he was a little familiar, and shouted:

"Raise your head, old man." When the old man heard this, he trembled, but he didn't dare to disobey Hua Jie's words, and slowly raised his head. When Hua Xie Yu saw the man's face clearly, he immediately shouted.

"Sun Sijiu !!" Sun Sijiu was shocked by the revelation, and he was immediately panicked, and he planned to beg for mercy when he opened his mouth. "Smack!" A bang. Hua Jieyu didn't give Sun Sijiu a chance at all, took out a torture sign from the table, Hua Jieyu threw it to the ground hard, and said loudly: "Drag it out, hit fifty boards, and then throw it out of Tianjing New City!" ”

"Okay, Lord Hua's judgment is good!" "My lord is discerning, and he is the master of the blue sky in my Tianjing New Town." As soon as Hua Jieyu's verdict was finished, some people around him began to applaud.

Fang Jinzhi looked at this scene dumbfounded, and his head couldn't turn for a while. Isn't this old man a victim? Why was he punished? This flower interpretation clearly distinguishes between right and wrong, reversing black and white. "Adult, wronged, small wronged!" Hua Jieyu didn't pay attention to him at all, and directly let people drag him out and start playing the board. It wasn't until Sun Sijiu was beaten and dying and the flesh and blood on his buttocks were blurred that the officials came back to report:

"My lord, the fight is over." "Throw it out." Hua Xie Yu waved his hand, and if he chased flies, he asked the official to throw Sun Sijiu out. Fang Jinzhi stood stupidly in place, as if there was a volcano brewing in his heart. That's how this flower is judged? Just because the defendant knew him, he beat the victim half to death? And then throw out of Tianjing New City and leave him to fend for himself? Seeing that the case was finished, the people dispersed one after another.

Tianxing also reminded Fang Jinzhi on the side, and said, "Holy Maiden, let's go too." "It's really strange that this flower explanation is really strange, obviously a victim, but he was beaten so badly!" Wan Chun also said next to him: "I think this flower explanation is the protection of officials and officials." "The man shouted at the beginning that he knew Hua Jieyu, and of course Hua Jieyu would not convict him." "Holy Maiden, I think this Hua Jieyu is a dog official, not a good thing." Qiu Xia also nodded sympathetically. As the city lord who guards the side, but does not make decisions for the people, isn't that a dog official?

Several people looked at Fang Jinzhi in unison, only to see that Fang Jinzhi's face was already angry at this time. "Holy Maiden, there may be something else hidden in this matter." "I see that the people around me seem to have different views on this matter." "Hua Jieyu is openly trying the case, if this matter is really an unjust case, then the people will probably have a lot of trouble a long time ago, so it is better to wait for an investigation and then make a decision." Fang Jinzhi's murderous aura stagnated, and when Tianxing saw this, he hurriedly admonished: "Holy Maiden, the minister feels that the old man who was beaten does not look like he is going to the court for the first time. ”

"He bowed his head from the top of the hall and did not dare to raise his head." When Hua Xie Yu called out his name, he was so frightened that he trembled, and Weichen felt that this matter should not be so simple. At this time, Fang Jinzhi remembered the person he knew in the county order that the person said yesterday. He had thought it was the man who hit someone, but now it didn't seem to be. Fang Jinzhi's momentum slowly retracted, and said:

"Let's go, find someone to ask." Later, Fang Jinzhi came to the stall where he had dinner in the morning and saw that the boss was still setting up a stall. Fang Jinzhi stepped forward and asked, "Boss, have you heard about the county government's judgment just now?" ”

The boss said, "Not only did I hear about it, but I also went to see it myself!" Fang Jinzhi hurriedly asked, "Then do you think the judgment of Dali Temple is right?" "Of course, our Dali Temple distinguishes between right and wrong, how can this kind of thing be wrong?" The boss immediately gave the other party Jin Zhi a thumbs up, and kept praising Hua Xie Yu.

Why is that? The victim was sentenced to 50 boards, and the perpetrator was acquitted on the spot, isn't this a reversal of black and white? Unjust, false and wrongful convictions? When the boss heard Fang Jinzhi's words, he laughed out loud and explained: "The guest officer doesn't know that it was Sun Sijiu who was beaten, a famous street in Tianjing New Town. "Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, all of them are fine. In order to pay off his gambling debts, he sold his only daughter. "His daughter-in-law also hanged herself because of this, who knows that he doesn't know how to restrain at all."

"That person was abducted and deceived, he was a habitual offender, and he has been arrested by the police station many times." "Recently, I don't know where I learned the routine, I specifically picked out outsiders on the road, and when I saw the carriage, I lay on the ground and blackmailed others for money." "Dali Temple calls this seems to be... Touch porcelain. "I have been beaten many times by the city lord, but I have been taught many times, and I am still abducted and deceived." "Driving this person out of Tianjing New City this time is also to eradicate a big scourge for Tianjing New Town." The boss talked eloquently, but Fang Jinzhi and the others were stunned when they heard it.

They couldn't believe that the old man looked very kind, but they didn't expect it to be such a person. Wan Chun and Qiu Xia also looked at each other, as Li Jin said, these people are really Diao, there are everyone. However, Fang Jinzhi still had doubts and asked, "Boss, what you said is true?" The boss's face turned pale, and he said a little angrily: "That's natural, I can still lie to you." ”

Seeing that the boss was unhappy, Fang Jinzhi didn't say much, but he still planned to go and see it in person. Fang Jinzhi directly asked the guards to come to the carriage, and then went to look for the old man to see if the old man was as the boss said. Under the constant inquiry of the guards, Fang Jinzhi quickly found the old man.

From a distance, the old man was extremely miserable, and his buttocks were blurred with blood. His clothes were ragged, his body was hunched, and he walked crookedly towards the outside of Tianjing New Town, as if he was going to fall down at any moment. Since it was on the outskirts of Tianjing New Town, there were no people around, and the officials were no longer there. Seeing the old man like this, Fang Jinzhi couldn't bear it, and asked the guards to drive the carriage forward, wanting to help the old man.

As a result, before Fang Jinzhi approached, Sun Sijiu heard the sound of a carriage behind him, and suddenly became flexible. The legs are not lame, the buttocks are not painful, and the whole person instantly crosses to the middle of the road, and... Lay flat. Fang Jinzhi and the others were dumbfounded, looking at Sun Sijiu who was lying in front of his carriage in shock. "Holy Maiden, why is this man lying down?" "We haven't bumped into him yet!!"

Just when Qiu Xia was stunned, Sun Sijiu on the ground began to howl heartbreakingly: "Ah, my legs!" I have a broken leg!! "It's you, it's you who broke my leg and lost money!!" Fang Jinzhi looked at the familiar scene, and only felt that his head exploded!! "Don't want to run, this is Tianjing New Town, and if you hurt someone, you will go to jail." "If you don't accompany me for money, the city lord will definitely put you in prison, and at that time, it will be you who will suffer!!" Sun Sijiu doesn't care who is in front of him, he only knows that this deal can't be more yellow, otherwise he will starve to death!!

Qiu Xia is a violent temper, at this time, how can he not know what is happening. "Dog thing!! White-eyed wolf, I'm going to kill you today!! Qiu Xia couldn't bear it anymore, so she just kicked it up. Murder, come on!! "These outsiders not only hit people, but also beat people, come on!!" Sun Sijiu on the ground was beaten by Qiu Xia, but his mouth was still screaming.

After all, Tianxing was soft-hearted, stepped forward and grabbed Qiu Xia, and let Qiu Xia fight again, and the old man was really killed. "Forget it, Qiuxia, let's go!!" Fang Jinzhi knew the truth of the matter at this time, and he was not in the mood to waste any more effort on this kind of bastard, so he pulled Qiu Xia and planned to leave.

"You can't go, you can't go!!" "You're going to pay me money!" Sun Sijiu is still unrelenting, and it can be seen that he is very persistent in making money.

Fang Jinzhi was completely angry at this dog thing, and scolded: "Old turn off the lights, we didn't bump into you just now, why should we accompany you for money?" "Do you still want Dali Temple to beat you another fifty boards?" Speaking of Dali Temple, Sun Sijiu reflexively snorted, but then said:

"You didn't hit me, but you beat me." "Your maid kicked me five times just now, and according to the law, you must pay me money, or else you will be detained." "For the first time, we heard that those who have no money are beaten to earn silver, and those who have money spend money with their feet." Fang Jinzhi was completely enraged by Sun Sijiu's unreasonable trouble, and directly pointed at Sun Sijiu and roared angrily:

"Throw him out of us, throw him to Qinzhou, we don't want to see him again in our lives!!" The guards stepped forward one after another and escorted Sun Sijiu, who didn't know what was going to happen. Tianxing came forward at this time and asked:

"Holy Maiden, shall we go back to Tianjing New Town?" Fang Jinzhi took a deep breath and said, "Back!" Let's see if Yang Peng is as good as the people say!! By the time Fang Jinzhi returned to Tianjing New City again, it was already getting dark. But instead of decreasing, the number of people on the streets has increased.

Some couples walk hand in hand on the street side by side, looking intimate. Some are families of four, walking leisurely on the streets, children holding their favorite snacks in their hands. Seeing this scene, Queen Ma laughed happily:

"Fang Jinzhi, you see how much that kid looks like the fourth child, naughty and mischievous." Fang Jinzhi gradually smiled on his face at this time, and said, "Wan Chun is much more lively than him. Qiu Xia and Wan Chun, who were listening, also had a little more smile on their faces.

The night is getting darker, but there is no curfew at all in Tianjing New Town, just as you don't need a guide to enter the city, like a real free city. After Fang Jinzhi and Tianxing had dinner together, they saw colorful lanterns hanging on the street. Even at night, it doesn't look dark at all.

"Holy Maiden, shall we go to the center of the city? I went to bed early last night, and I didn't have time to go shopping! Wan Chun proposed at this time. After Fang Jinzhi heard it, he was noncommittal, he was so tired last night that he didn't see the grand scene today, but he wanted to take a good look at the night of Tianjing New City tonight.

Several people began to walk to the county center, and along the way they saw all kinds of people, but without exception, these people had happy smiles on their faces. Infected by the atmosphere of the city, Fang Jinzhi also had a smile on his face. Finally arrived at the center of the city, Fang Jinzhi saw the signboard of heaven and earth at a glance, among the many shop signs, this heaven and earth is really eye-catching. However, the next scene made the smile on Fang Jinzhi's face gradually dissipate.

I saw that in front of the door of heaven and earth, there were many women with bare breasts and breasts, all dressed up in flowers and branches, enchanting and charming. The women standing at the gates of heaven and earth are not stunning, but the gauze clothes they wear on their bodies, coupled with the black fishnet-like socks on their legs, make people want to stop.

It seems to be able to attract people's eyes, and people can't wait to look at it again. And these women didn't care about the strange eyes of the people around them, and scratched their heads there. Some of them were bold and even stepped forward to pull the man who was passing by, and said coquettishly:

"Uncle, come in and play!!" "Come on, uncle, it's fun here!" The bewitching figure, coupled with seductive words, is really unbearable. Wan Chun, who had never seen this kind of battle, stood next to him and kept swallowing saliva, looking hot and unbearable. "Have you seen enough, two things that haven't seen the world, it's really embarrassing to us!!"

Fang Jinzhi snorted coldly, and the two of them blushed when they were scolded. Seeing the two of them like this, Tianxing proposed to go in other directions. At this time, it is the beginning of the lanterns and the night is dark, and the people who come out to shop can be described as busy. Fang Jinzhi, who had been shopping for a long time, finally gradually dissipated the depression that he had just seen in the heavens and the earth. "Holy Maiden, this Tianjing New City is worthy of the title of the City of Freedom."

"Even at night, it's no less crowded than during the day." "Not only that, but many stores that are not open during the day are all open at night, which is really refreshing." Wan Chun shouted excitedly next to Fang Jinzhi, seemingly very satisfied with the grand occasion of Tianjing New Town. Qiu Xia also agreed beside her:

"Yes, Holy Maiden." "This Yang Peng can run Shanghu County so prosperously, no matter what kind of person he is, but he must be a capable." Fang Jinzhi looked at the crowded streets, towering high-rise buildings, and couldn't help but sigh: "Yang Peng is a capable person. "This Tianjing New City is really a city of freedom, and it lives up to its name."

As soon as he finished saying this, a person next to him laughed and said, "Free City? I think it's the capital of sin. After hearing this, Fang Jinzhi was suddenly startled and looked at the person who spoke. I saw that the man's face was gray, his eyes were sunken, and his clothes were stained with a lot of dust. Not at all like the local people, neatly dressed, but like gamblers in Hangzhou. However, Fang Jinzhi couldn't help but ask, "I don't know why Your Excellency said that?" "The grand occasion of this Tianjing New City is obvious to all, do you want to open your eyes and tell nonsense?"

The man continued to sneer and sneered, "You look like outsiders. "Who doesn't know, these are just the surface of Tianjing New Town." "If you want to see the real situation of Tianjing New Town, you should go to the north of the city to have a look." "If this is heaven, then there is hell!!" Fang Jinzhi's heart suddenly suddenly, what this person said was serious, could it be that he saw that it was really just an appearance. Was he deceived by Yang Peng's whitewashing? Is all this fake?

Fang Jinzhi's paranoyance flared up again. Seeing that the man was leaving, Fang Jinzhi stepped out to stop him and said, "I wonder if Your Excellency can lead the way?" "I don't have time!!" The man directly refused, and he naturally refused to do this kind of thing. Fang Jinzhi directly took out five taels of silver from his arms and said:

"I don't want Your Excellency to do it in vain, I just want Your Excellency to lead the way." "Tell us about the city." When the man saw the silver Fang Jinzhi took out, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded busily, and said, "That relationship is good, as long as you are willing to give money, you can say anything!" Under Fang Jinzhi's money offensive, the man soon began to talk endlessly, and began to introduce the specific situation of Tianjing New City to Fang Jinzhi.

"Our Tianjing New City is divided into five major urban areas, southeast, northwest, and middle." "The east and west of the city are divided into commercial areas and residential areas, and most of the things can be bought in the east of the city." "Because the east of the city is close to the sea, all the goods bought and sold must be placed on the east side of the city." "And the south of the city is the gathering place of officials, and that side is also where the government is located, and the mansion of the city lord is also over there." "Under our feet, it is in the city, a place for eating, drinking, and having fun, and it is a real gold cave, which is known as letting your prince in and eunuchs out."

"The restaurant inn here, the Qinglou gambling house is extremely luxurious, and the house is full of gold, but it is all with the shares of the city lord, and no one dares to stretch out their hands."

"As for the north of the city, it is the darkest place in the whole city, where the black market is located, known as the Demon Cave." "There are no human rights there, they are all gathering places of the most vicious people, and ordinary people are afraid to enter it." Hearing this person's introduction in such detail, Fang Jinzhi's eyes narrowed slightly. These Qinglou gambling houses all have Yang Peng's shares, looking at the popularity of these businesses, how much money should Yang Peng be able to embezzle? That's not all, such a drunken city has an unknown side, which really surprised Fang Jinzhi.

After all, what happens next, let's see how it will be broken down next time.
