"Song Zhutou, that ......" The shopkeeper was drenched in cold sweat.

"Hmph, do you think that you haven't reported the store book for more than half a year, so you don't need to fill in the store book? The imperial court has an order, and those who live in the store every day must report to the yamen for verification and verification, and the offender will be fined 50 taels of rod and 100 taels of silver, I think you want to be beaten?"

Song Zhutou snorted coldly.

"Song Zhutou, wronged me!"

The shopkeeper was frightened, don't look at the fast hunting is a cheap servant, in front of the county lord, it is an ant that can be beaten and killed, but for ordinary cloth people, catching fast is enough to break the house.

Even though he has a bit of an identity and doesn't care about ordinary hunting, the head of the hunting team is still very afraid.

"Wronged? You shopkeepers, anyone dares to accept them, and take you one by one to fifty rods, and none of you are wronged. ”

He didn't say more, with a wave of his hand, the trapper behind him got out of the way, limping in and limping in, and when he saw Chi Zheng on the table and chair, he immediately shouted: "It's this person, it's this person." ”

Chi Zheng sat still all the time, and only then did he glance over his head and realize that it was the two soldiers who entered the city to blackmail him.

Song Zhutou didn't say much, and went straight to the table, and the catchers next to him immediately surrounded him, looking down at Chi Zheng condescendingly: "Outsiders, lead your way out." ”

"I'm sorry, but my guide was robbed by bandits on the road and has been lost. ”

Chi Zheng put down his wine glass.

"Lost?"

Song Zhutou sneered: "What a gut, dare to go south without a road guide? Why don't you go to the local yamen to re-open the road guide? Do you know that those who wander without a road guide should be sentenced to three years of forced labor according to the law of Da Chen?"

"Does this mean that you want to arrest those displaced people who have gone south?"

Who is bluffing? Now that the imperial court has the control of household registration, where else can it control the flow of people in the world?

"You!"

Song Zhutou's face froze, "The homeless people are different from you, those homeless people have their own court constraints, don't quibble, since you don't have a way, you should be arrested according to the law." ”

Chi Zheng was depressed, as for it? There are too many people in the world who have no way to lead, and they want to arrest themselves? And he has no grievances with this head catcher, and looking at the poor and sour appearance of those two soldiers, it is impossible for him to have money to bribe the head catcher to take revenge on himself...... Not to mention anything else, if you really want this money, it is impossible for the two soldiers to use the money as a bribe, isn't it good to use it yourself?

"Someone's ......"

Song Zhutou was just about to give an order, but was interrupted by Chi Zheng: "Wait first! I want to see your county honor." ”

Faced with this, Song Zhutou was stunned for a moment, and then sneered: "You are a good joke, and the county lord is also what you want to see?"

"What if I say that I know the superior of your county?"

Chi Zheng said calmly.

Song Zhutou was taken aback, and subconsciously said: "You, you said that you know the Shangguan of the county honor?"

The other captors were shocked when they heard this, and hurriedly took a few steps back, put down the one with the stick, and put away the one with the knife.

Seeing this, the two soldiers shouted: "Don't listen to him, he deceived the two of us before, what do you know about the master of the Criminal Department, listen, is this the truth?"

The book of the criminal department?

This official position is a big man in the court who has heard of it for everyone present, but he can't even think about it, such a big man is too far away, just like the legendary immortals, so ethereal that it is not to be believed.

Song Zhutou immediately calmed down, and stared at Chi Zheng coldly: "Is that so?"

"It's true or not, isn't it clear when I see your county lord?"

Chi Zheng is actually not a lie, these trappers can't hurt him, and after a spell, all of them have to raise their ashes on the spot. But he can't kill people at every turn, right?

He didn't want to do that, but if he allowed things to go on, he would be taken to a cell and lynched, and he would have to kill someone.

Before he came, Chi Zheng had thought about what to do if he encountered such a situation.

It just so happened that in order to let Chi Zheng come to the capital to find him in the future, Hai Shenglai gave him a jade plate of the Hai family's mansion, which ordinary people don't know, but if you think that an official of this level in the county should know that the secretary of the Criminal Department married his sister Yu Yishangjia back then.

His attitude made Song Zhutou suspicious, if he lied and saw the county honor, wouldn't he be exposed at once?

And Chi Zheng looked calm and calm, not like he was lying.

It's just that Song Zhutou can recognize at a glance that Chi Zheng has a large amount of charcoal on his face, if he is a serious person, who will smear so much charcoal ash on his face? Only thieves and rogues who have done unsightly things and do not want to be noticed will be smeared with charcoal ash to cover people's eyes and ears.

He hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll take you to meet the county lord, if you lie, you have to pick your skin, if you are true, I will kneel down and kowtow to you on the spot to apologize." ”

"Let's go. ”

Song Zhutou squinted at Chi Zheng, "The shopkeeper, take a coat and hat to this distinguished guest." ”

He deepened the tone of the word "distinguished guest".

The shopkeeper trembled beside him, and when he heard this, he didn't dare to delay, so he hurriedly went to get the coat and hat.

Naturally, they were staring at Chi Zheng at this time, and they wouldn't let him go back to get his luggage, but fortunately, he carried the jade card with him, so it didn't matter, he took the coat and hat and put it on, and followed the group of trappers out of the inn gate.

The heavy rain outside had weakened a lot, and the dark sky was even more gloomy, so Song Zhutou whispered an order to a catcher, who nodded and returned to the inn.

"Team leader, it's getting dark. ”

There was a catcher next to him and said.

"Yes, hurry up. ”

Song Zhutou led the team to march quickly, there were about twelve people in this group, and the two soldiers behind were old and frail, unable to keep up with the crowd, and shouted again and again, but no one stopped, and was quickly thrown away.

Chi Zheng was "charged" in the middle, secretly screaming bad luck, and the clean shoes he changed to, and soon he was soaked because of the mud and puddles on the ground, he was distressed here, and the destination was actually not far away.

After about half an hour, they arrived at the Xiahai Yamen, with a plaque with four words, Xiahai County Yamen.

The gate of the county government was closed, and a catcher came forward to knock on the door, and after a while, a soap officer on duty came to open the door, and when he saw that it was a catcher on the fast shift, he asked, "What's the matter?"

"Song Bantou has arrested a person, and he needs to bring him to meet the eldest master. ”

"Arrest someone to meet the eldest master?"

Ya Soap was a little puzzled, looked out, and saw that it was indeed Song Zhutou walking quickly, and hurriedly pushed the door open.

"Go and report to the county lord, just say ......"

Song Zhutou whispered to the soap.

"Yes, yes......"

After listening to the order, the soap immediately ran in to report it.

And here, Song Zhutou took Chi Zheng into the lobby and waited.

Chi Zheng has never really entered the ancient county government, he has only seen it in the TV series, and he is curious to look around, but the county government in the TV series is bright and glamorous, and the style is majestic. In the Xiahai County Ya here, the lobby is not glamorous, but dim and damp, and even the gold-lettered plaque hanging in the lobby is moldy.

Where does it come from?
