The Qin Cha, who wore a gauze hat and a python robe, rode a high-headed horse, about forty years old, wide and fat, and saw the royal gold medal of the Tang family, so he put his mind at ease, and turned around and signaled Zheng Chaoming, the captain of Dengzhou County Zhiguo, to bring a hundred soldiers to enter Crouching Tiger Village with him to read the holy decree. Su Qingtong and Tang Jiusheng walked down from the battlements of the village wall, Su Qingtong was in a worried mood, and respectfully accompanied Na Qincha to the village, ready to go to the hall to meet the holy decree.

Tang Jiusheng looked up and down at Na Qincha as he walked, only to see that the complement on the official's python robe was a white pheasant, it seemed to be a five-grade official, and the official saw Tang Jiusheng looking him up and down, and quickly put a smile on his face, although the national teacher Tang Fulong has been demoted to a third-grade protector, but he is still in the "power of the national teacher's mansion", which means that the old man Tang still has a great chance to make a comeback, and he can't afford to offend the son of the national teacher's mansion.

Na Qincha said with a smile on his face: "Oh, Tang Gongzi, I haven't seen you for a few years, and you have grown so tall! If you want to say that the old national teacher is really blessed, you can have such a good son as Gongzi who looks dignified and has extraordinary martial arts! Since he left the capital, he has not seen the old national teacher for three years, and his old man has always been in good health? Oh, by the way, let me introduce myself, this official is Lang Zhonghe Chunju of the Criminal Department. ”

Tang Jiusheng secretly said in his heart, it turns out that this is Lang Zhong of the Criminal Department, although the official is not very big, but he came by order to come to Qincha, how can he not be lazy? Tang Jiusheng arched his hand and said with a polite smile: "Thank you Lord He for your concern, my father has always been in good health! I don't know what kind of business Lord He came to Crouching Tiger Village this time?" Although he had already heard Leng Hongxing say that Qin was going to come to get Su Qingtong, he still had to ask a question before he was sure.

He Chunju smiled slightly, "Don't worry, wait a minute, the holy decree is read, and the son will naturally know!" Several people were talking, and they had already come to the Su family hall, He Chunju stood proudly on the hall, and there was an entourage behind him who knelt down on one knee and raised his hands above his head, only to see the entourage holding a tray with both hands, and the satin covered with yellow cloth on it.

He Chunju stretched out his hand, uncovered the yellow cloth satin, picked up a scroll from the tray, and said loudly: "The holy decree has arrived, Su Qingtong of Crouching Tiger Village will receive the decree!" Su Qingtong knelt down on his knees and said loudly: "Grass people Su Qingtong listen to the decree! Long live my emperor, long live, long live!" Except for a few people in the hall, except for Tang Jiusheng and a few others, they all knelt down to listen to the decree.

He Chunju unfolded the scroll and read it aloud: "Fengtian carries the emperor's edict: Ten days ago, a giant thief Su Qingtong sneaked into the palace, stole the emperor's crown and court clothes in the four ruling warehouses, stole the pearl and jade treasures in the inner library and many martial arts cheats, and boldly left his name on the palace wall...... It was ascertained by the Eastern Internal Health Department that Su Qingtong was a native of Wohu Zhuang, Wenchang County, Dengzhou County, Shannan Province, and was a giant thief and a disaster in the township, ignoring national law...... Rectify the Fa on the spot with Su Qingtong!

There are a lot of contents on the holy decree, He Chunju has been reading for a long time, his mouth is already dry, and he finally finished reading, and immediately a soldier came over to arrest Su Qingtong.

Su Qingtong was extremely shocked, raised his head and said loudly: "Slow, Lord Qincha, the grass people have been wronged! The grass people have not left Wenchang County for nearly half a year, how can they go to the palace to steal treasures? Besides, how can they leave their names after stealing treasures? This must be someone framing the grass people, I hope your lord will see it!"

He Chunju general

The holy decree rolled up, put it back on the tray, and sneered, "Su Qingtong, this official is only ordered to come to announce the decree, and is not responsible for finding out the case, come here, pull Su Qingtong down for execution!" Several officers and soldiers were about to step forward to take Su Qingtong, Su Qingtong's four disciples jumped up from the ground and knocked the officers and soldiers back, Liu Hutou shouted loudly: "Master, this court is going to kill people indiscriminately, let's kill this Qincha first!"

Su Qingtong was furious and shouted: "Criminals must not be rude! Since the imperial court has a holy purpose, wouldn't killing Qincha be tantamount to rebellion? This Zhuangzi has thousands of lives, and once you do this, you will be beheaded all over the house! How can I harm the lives of thousands of people because of me alone? Anyway, I, Su Qingtong, crisscross the rivers and lakes and make a living by stealing, but today I am wronged because someone steals the treasures of Da Nei under my name, alas, this is my fate!"

Su Qingtong snatched the steel knife from the hands of an officer and soldier and wiped it on his neck, Tang Jiusheng casually picked up a teacup from the table and knocked the steel knife in Su Qingtong's hand off, everyone looked at Tang Jiusheng, and Su Qingtong was also puzzled.

Tang Jiusheng smiled coldly, "Lord He, are you here to kill people by order? According to my Dashang's royal law, no matter whether this person is guilty or not, do you want the Criminal Department to investigate the case clearly before convicting him, and then submit it to the Inspectorate for review, and finally report it to Dali Temple, and then Dali Temple will report it to the emperor, and the emperor will personally approve it three times, confirm that it is correct, and only after verifying the correct body can the execution be carried out, how can this holy decree be so strange?

He Chunju smiled bitterly and said: "Tang Gongzi, what you said is a general situation, now this case is under the jurisdiction of the Eastern Internal Security Division, and the life and death of the prisoner is also decided by the Eastern Internal Division, you think, I am just a small criminal department, and the official is only five grades, how can I decide a person's life and death? I just came here with an edict, and this edict came from the Eastern Internal Security Division!"

Tang Jiusheng, who narrowed his eyes, lowered his head and pondered for a long time, then suddenly raised his head and asked, "Lord He, when you came from the capital, was Chief Manager Yang in the palace?

He Chunju said cautiously: "Tang Gongzi, I am just a small criminal department, where can I see Lord Yang?" It's just that I heard that the chief administrator has been unwell recently and is recuperating in the Great Inner Division, and now all the affairs of the Eastern Internal Health Division are in charge of Lord Ye Zhaoli, who is in charge of the execution, presumably this holy decree was invited by Lord Ye. ”

Tang Jiusheng nodded quietly, "Lord He, originally you were ordered to kill someone, and I can't stop you, but this matter is too strange, so I am going to go to Beijing to face the saint, and then the three law divisions will decide whether Su Qingtong is the culprit and whether he deserves to die, how about it?"

He Chunju looked embarrassed, and arched his hand: "Tang Gongzi, this official is just acting on orders! The order is sent, and this holy decree is also clear here, if the official can't complete the task, how can he go back to hand over the errand? If he can't kill Su Qingtong, then the official will have to lose his head! You saved this Su Qingtong, but the head of the official is about to fall to the ground, there is an eighty-year-old mother on the official, and there is a ten-year-old child under the official, you can pity the official!"

Zheng Chaoming, the captain of Dengzhou County Zhiguo on the side, stretched out his hand and pulled out his waist knife, and snorted, "This time, Lord He is acting on orders, and the holy purpose is here, who dares to stop it?"

Tang Jiusheng, I don't care what kind of son of the National Teacher's Mansion you are, no matter how big your National Teacher's Mansion is, is it still bigger than the Holy Decree and the Emperor? Come on, take down Su Qingtong!"

The officers and soldiers agreed, and they were about to step forward to arrest Su Qingtong, the fat man on the side looked at Tang Jiusheng, and when he saw Tang Jiusheng's face sinking, he knew what Tang Jiusheng was thinking, stepped forward with a left kick and a right kick to knock down all the officers and soldiers, and moved forward with a cruel smile, just wanted to knock down Zheng Chaoming, Zheng Chaoming shouted, a knife came to the head, the fat man did not dodge, stretched out two fingers to clamp the steel knife, and twisted it hard, the steel knife in Zheng Chaoming's hand had already been taken off.

The fat man twisted the steel knife in his hands at will, twisted it into a twist, and then rubbed it with his hand, formed a steel ball, threw it on the ground, and sneered: "If you don't want to live anymore, the fat man will fulfill you! Old Tang, the imperial gold medal in your arms, can't you cut the officials below the third rank first? Now as long as you nod, the fat man will immediately behead him, what do you think?"

Zheng Chaoming saw that the fat man casually turned his steel knife into a piece of scrap iron, and his face was as shocked as earth, and he heard that the royal gold medal could be cut first and then played, and he was even more frightened. Of course, Tang Jiusheng didn't want to kill the court officials at will, after all, they were acting on orders. The royal gold medal is used to kill officials who should be beheaded according to the law, and you can't kill whoever you want, and that gold medal is more symbolic and deterrent.

Tang Jiusheng stood up, stretched out his hand to take the holy decree from the tray, opened it and looked at it, it was indeed the same as He Chunju had read. Tang Jiusheng casually threw the holy decree to Ximen Yushuang, and said coldly: "Shuang'er, you have accepted this holy decree on my behalf, and then make plans after I enter the Beijing Saint!" Ximen Yushuang agreed and accepted the holy decree.

Tang Jiusheng turned around and said to Zheng Chaoming and He Chunju: "Su Qingtong can't be killed today! No matter who comes, he can't be killed, since Lord He doesn't want to die, then follow me into Beijing to face the saint together, I will guarantee your innocence!"

Seeing that the fat man wanted to kill Zheng Chaoming, He Chunju on the side was also scared enough, and there was no reason to talk about it with these guys who killed people without blinking. He Chunju looked helpless, and wiped the cold sweat on his head with his sleeve, "Tang Gongzi, the official's net worth and life are in your hands!

Tang Jiusheng smiled slightly, "Lord He just came by order, and my son will not embarrass you, this matter is up to my son, even if the emperor investigates it, this matter has nothing to do with you!" He Chunju reluctantly put his mind at ease.

Who knows, one of He Chunju's five entourages sneered, "Is the son of the National Teacher's Mansion great? Do you dare not take the royal law in your eyes? Do you dare not put the holy decree in your eyes?" He Chunju looked back at this person, and his heart rose again, this entourage was sent by the Eastern Internal Guard Division to supervise the beheading, and he forgot about him in the chaos just now, how can this be good? He Chunju looked at Tang Jiusheng, and there was a hint of asking for help in his eyes.

Tang Jiusheng pretended not to see He Chunju's pleading gaze, looked up and down at the person dressed as an entourage, and laughed: "You cow, you hide deep enough! You are still a second-grade master, but you can scare me to death! If you are not convinced, the two of us will compete and compete, you win, you can kill people here, if you lose, then Ben Gongzi will not be able to bear you!"
