Let's say that Gongye and Niu San came to see Zhang Qian, blackmailed the silver taels, the car driver, and drove the mule to the south one day. Zhang Qian was really annoyed that there was such a scum in the academy he governed, so he simply drove this Niu San away.

Niu San has no livelihood since then, and he also has a grudge in his heart, so he doesn't do anything, and the next day he went to the yamen to sue himself.

The arrest of the yamen was about to lose his head, and it was really a big local case, and the county magistrate was in a hurry to find someone to question, so he learned from Niu San's mouth, and read that Niu San was just greedy for money and profit, so he beat him with 20 boards and sent him away;

The magistrate immediately ordered the people and went to Taimur Mountain. The county lord thought in his heart: "The arrest under the jurisdiction of this official is about to lose his life, but because of this, he can solve the important case under the criminal department, and it is worth it." ”

After a while, I arrived at the gate of the academy. The magistrate issued an order, and the group of messengers broke into the academy with iron chains and teeth and claws, and tied up the academy from the cousin to the door guard and knelt in the courtyard; knowing that Zhang Qian and those storytellers were both famous and famous, and it was not easy to carry a flail, so he ordered someone to use water and fire sticks to drive them to the front of the first temple.

The students in the courtyard didn't know what was going on, and they didn't dare to say a word when they saw that this class of officers was fierce and vicious.

I only saw that the old man of the county was dressed properly, so he moved a chair, sat in front of the hall, and said in front of Zhang Qian and the others: "The head of Songyang Academy, you are guilty!"

The onlookers listened and whispered. Most of these Confucian scholars didn't hear anything outside the window, and they didn't know that the old and the young were serious offenders in the imperial court a few days ago.

Don't look at Zhang Qian's old age, he is a weak scholar, but he has a sense of righteousness. Whatever the magistrate asked, he answered, but it was not good to make people attack, but when he asked Gongye and where he went, Zhang Qian kept silent. However, with his fame, there is no need for Zhang Qian to kneel, let alone torture.

However, Nazhi County also has a way.

Although he could not help these meritorious ones, he was left to the disposal of those who were chained in the courtyard and knelt on the ground. So he asked the servants to fight together, most of these servants didn't know, but this big punishment also made Zhang Qian unbearable.

If you don't recruit it, it will be unkind to see innocent people suffering, but if Zhang Qian recruits, it will violate the righteousness of your friends. When he was in a dilemma, the doorman couldn't stand the board and shouted bitterly: "The little one knows!"

Nazhi County was a little proud, and hurriedly stopped, and said, "You can say it." ”

The door guard knelt tremblingly, glanced at Zhang Qian, and said carefully: "The day before yesterday, the mountain chief said goodbye to the prisoner outside the gate, and the man talked to the mountain chief for a while, I was behind the door, far away and couldn't hear clearly, only remembered that the man mentioned 'Shaoxing', and left, the little one only knows this, and I hope that the adult will be kind and spare the little one!"

Zhang Qian's heart tightened, but his face remained silent. I only listened to the county and the people: "If I had said it earlier, I would have avoided a meal, so why bother!"

looked at Zhang Qian with a sideways face and said, "Mr. Zhang, I think you have to go to the yamen with this county today." ”

The magistrate let the others go and took Zhang Qian, but the rest of the people had no idea, some students wanted to jointly file a lawsuit, and some students said that Mr. had indeed been, and for a time they were divided into two factions and quarreled.

Zhang Qian was taken back to the Yamen, and naturally this matter could not be concealed from Jinyiwei.

When He Youdao left Beijing, Menda sent someone to follow secretly, and He Youdao's every move, Menda knew everything about it. He Youdao knows this.

After entering Tongguan, He Youdao only used a little means to make these two brocade guards appear in their true bodies.

As the old saying goes: Money can make ghosts, but what about people?

At first, these two people were still murderous when He Youdao was killed, and when they didn't know what to do, He Youdao and these two people each gave four ingots of gold, and each promised the benefits of five hundred taels of silver, on the condition that they must obey He Youdao's orders along the way, otherwise this gold will make him have a life to take and no life to spend!

If you don't take these benefits in vain, the two brocade guards thought so, and look at this meaning, if you refuse what the way is, you will definitely die. As for the commander, I don't know how to say it.

However, Menda's secret agents are all over the place, and within two days of Tongguan, He Youdao received a message from the flying pigeon, learning the whereabouts of Gongye and Tong Shen Yuan, and everything that happened in Songyang Academy, was written on this secret letter.

He Youdao thought about it carefully, and said secretly: "Since Gongyehe is no longer in Dengfeng County, it is better to make an example for Menda." When I arrived in Dengfeng, I met with the secret agent, and then I took the opportunity to act. ”

So the group took a boat, hurriedly sailed towards Henan Mansion, arrived at Mengjin, abandoned the boat and hurried up, and finally arrived in Dengfeng County two days later.

These more than 20 people entered the city resolutely, rampage all the way, and went straight to the county office. Headed by He Youdao, he rushed in regardless of the obstruction, and the county master was in charge of the government in the lobby, and when he saw it, he was furious, and when he was about to call someone, the two brocade guards showed their waist cards.

The magistrate saw it clearly, and immediately collapsed in his seat, and it took a while to recover.

got up and pleaded guilty again and again, and at the same time he was thinking about when he had offended Jinyiwei.

He Youdao waved his hand and said, "Don't panic, Lord Zhixian, I'm here for the sake of those two fugitive felons. ”

After that, he whispered to the two brocade guards, but told them to hide again, so as not to let Menda's ears and eyes see through it.

The two of them actually changed into the clothes of the Hundred Poison Gate early, and if they didn't know each other, they would never have been recognized. He Youdao's move is just in case. The two men received the order and quietly withdrew.

Hearing what He Youdao said, it had nothing to do with him, the magistrate suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "Back to Shangguan, the thief's accomplice is surnamed Zhang Mingqian, who is the head of the local Songyang Academy, and now he has been imprisoned in the yazhong by the lower officials, but this person is from a Jinshi and cannot be punished, and the lower officials are also afraid of being neglected, so they are placed under house arrest in the backyard wing, and the adults want to be interrogated immediately?"

He Youdao shook his head and said, "No need, I'll come and pick up someone with you when I need to." ”

At this time, the official came to report that someone outside the door had come to see Mr. He. The magistrate asked, "Which Mr. He?"

"He is coming to me, and you invite him in. He Youdao said, and ordered Fang Wei to wait in the courtyard with all the disciples.

Then, a lean man entered the lobby and asked, "Which one is Mr. He?" ”

He Youdao greeted this man, knew that he was Menda's spy here, and said, "It's down there." ”

The magistrate watched from the side, and said who was this man in coarse cloth clothes, but he didn't expect that the Shangguan in front of him would also be commensurate with "below" when he saw this man, so he couldn't help but salute.

As everyone knows, He Youdao's action was actually for Menda in the capital to see.

The spy also bowed back and said, "Mr. He, Master Men asked me to tell you, if you dare to deliberately delay, don't blame him for turning his face and being ruthless." In addition, this Zhang Qianding knows Gongye and the purpose of this trip, as well as the road he took, if you come out, you must inform me. ”

He Youdao's murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and it subsided in an instant. The secret agent didn't know it, and the magistrate on the side didn't know it.

"Please return to the Gate, and make up your mind not to dishonor. "He Youdao saluted again.

The spy said, "Mr. He is good at himself, take his leave." After retreating, He Youdao immediately made up his mind and said to the magistrate: "That Zhang Qian is a meritorious person, I have a plan, I don't need to be tortured to make this person confess." ”

That night, Zhang Qian, who was under house arrest, lay on the bed, tossing and turning.

recalled in his heart that Nangong was restored that year, and Yan Yigong was unjustly killed, which also made him disheartened and resigned. Unexpectedly, he was kidnapped by gangsters on the road, and if it wasn't for the coincidence of Gongyehe, he would have become a lonely ghost.

Although Gongye and the real crime of the king's law, Zhang Qian knew that such murders on the rivers and lakes, the government was not as good as less, and today I heard the guards gossip that even the Jinyi guards were concerned, and in the final analysis, they still offended the villain.

The more Zhang Qian thought about it, the more annoyed he became, if it weren't for Niu San's greed, how could he have given birth to such many things?

Suddenly, there was a muffled sound outside the door, and a dark shadow sneakily pushed the door in.

Zhang Qian was secretly shocked, stood up and said, "Who?"
