Taishou Xia Qingzhong retreated left and right, and then came to Da Kui's body and gave a deep salute and said: "Xiaguan is the county guard, so he has to act according to the law. Before the matter is clarified, it is... Only.... Taishou Xia Qingzhong thought about it again and again, and then asserted: "I will wronged the Lord first." ”

Without waiting for Da Kui to speak, Xia Qingzhong turned around and returned to the public case, and then shouted loudly: "Shengtang!"

"Mighty". Outside the hall, he sang Tang Wei and walked into the lobby again, and stood in two shifts.

Taishou Xia Qingzhong was shocked and said: "There are people from other landers who have wandered around the local area and stolen horses. Later, he had a verbal altercation with the 'white noodle' guy and injured him by mistake. The official pronounced the verdict: The county should be on duty to investigate all farmers and cattle and horse markets in the county within three days, and all suspected war horses will be brought for identification. Taishou Xia Qingzhong mustered up his courage, and finally said: "Zhang Dakui's identity is doubtful, but the evidence of injuring others is conclusive. Zhang Dakui was first imprisoned, and then convicted according to the injuries of the 'white noodles' guy Xiaosan. Quit!"

Da Kui did not argue, and was led by the head of the squad to the prison cell. The so-called cell is like a guest room, with beds and tithes. Presumably this is Xia Qingzhong's deliberate arrangement. Although Da Kui was very tired, he was waiting for Xia Qingzhong.

After a while, an inquiry came from outside the door: "Are you resting?"

Da Kui sat at the table and sipped tea, and when he heard the words, he said, "Lord Xia, please come in." ”

When the door opened, Xia Qingzhong entered the room, closed the door with his hand, and bowed to Da Kui deeply: "Xiaguan Xia Qingzhong see Lord Zhang." ”

Da Kui smiled: "No need to be polite, please take a seat." ”

Xia Qingzhong walked to the table and sat down, and started to refill the tea for Da Kui, and then said: "The adults have been robbed by this place, and the lower officials will not be able to escape the blame." ”

Da Kui smiled slightly and said: "As a product of the dynasty, losing the official uniform seal letter is also a capital crime. Besides, there is also Lanzhou Mezzon, which is also a joke. ”

Xia Qingzhong hurriedly said: "There are still 500 people in this county, and there are 50 people in the county office. At this moment, the roads in the county have been blocked, and the house-to-house search is presumably before dawn. ”

Da Kui nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "Lord Xia bothered. ”

Xia Qingzhong hurriedly clenched his fists and said: "Where is the duty of the lower officials, how dare you neglect your duties." ”

"There is still a big matter to worry about Lord Xia. Da Kui looked at Xia Qingzhong and said solemnly.

Xia Qingzhong got up and saluted, "Please ask Lord Zhang to command." ”

Da Kui was also not polite, and ordered: "Immediately rush eight hundred miles, ask Ying Tian for help, and say that Lanzhou City is about to be broken." ”

Xia Qingzhong knew that this was true, and immediately received the order. Da Kui stretched out his hand and pinched his forehead, and then continued: "All the official seals have been lost, and only one handwritten letter has been lost. As long as Lord Xia handed over this letter to General Tang He. ”

Xia Qingzhong hurriedly went out and asked someone to send the four treasures of the study, and Da Kui took the pen and fed the ink with a wave. Xia Qingzhong not only frowned secretly when he watched Da Kui write, but he saw cockroaches crawling in black and white, and his handwriting as a civil official was scribbled to such an extent, I really don't know how this official was done. Although he thought so, Xia Qingzhong's face sank like water and he didn't show any trace of his heart.

Da Kui folded the letter and sealed it, took the candle in the lamp on the table and sealed it, and then handed it to Xia Qingzhong.

"This official was originally a military officer, but later changed to a civilian official. The emperor's order is hard to disobey, hehehe. Da Kui said with a smile.

Xia Qingzhong held the letter, but he was puzzled: "How can I make it without a seal on the adult's letter?"

Da Kui smiled and waved his hand: "The characters that Tang and the general know about me are the same whether they are stamped or not." Let's go on an errand. ”

Xia Qingzhong didn't hesitate any longer, took the letter and gave another salute, and then went out. As soon as Xia Qingzhong left, Da Kui went to bed impatiently to rest. Lie down for a moment and you'll be asleep.

That night, Xia Qingzhong did two things. The first is to order people to expedite 800 miles to send Da Kui's letter to the nearest post station south of Hanzhong, and the second is to find out that Da Kui's horses have landed. Hearing this, Xia Qingzhong was overjoyed.

But whenever the government handles a case, the thief and the others first investigate the habitual stealing. The thief who stole the horse was a habitual thief, and the stolen horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock, all of which were sold to a horse gang in Hanzhong. The capture of Hanzhong County not only blocked the main roads of all parties, but also passed through the sieve of the characters in Hanzhong County.

The leader of the horse gang is surnamed Xie Huatian, and when he was a teenager, he felt that the land of China was rich and rich, so he was inspired to travel all over the world. Xie Huatianzi took over the horse gang from his father's business, and since then he has been home everywhere in the world. And Hanzhong is where Xie Tianhua's ancestral business is located, and the head catcher in Hanzhong County is an old friend of Xie Tianhua, and he knows that Xie Tianhua's horse gang has raised a large number of livestock.

When visiting, the head of the shop left a general text and a message: "If someone sells war horses privately, be sure to inform the government."

Although the Ma Gang is a gang, Xie Tianhua is not a Jianghu person. When I received a letter from the government, I naturally had to pay careful attention, but I didn't expect that Tiangong was beautiful, and there were really friends in the rivers and lakes who sold war horses, asking for five taels of silver. Xie Tianhua ordered the account room to pay a deposit of one or two silver, and claimed to look at the goods after dawn, and the seller left the address and went back. As soon as the seller left, Xie Tianhua hurriedly ordered someone to report to the official.

In order to be safe, Xia Qingzhong asked Xie Tianhua overnight to find out the ins and outs. Xie Tianhua said: "The seller said carefully, this is a green-maned horse, and the horse's buttocks are branded. This brand is the mark of the Yuan Court's exclusive war horse, and it can't be wrong. ”

Xia Qingzhong asked again: "Where is the delivery location?"

Xie Tianhua replied: "Qili Village, east of Hanzhong County. ”

Xia Qingzhong was relieved when he heard this, and after sending Xie Tianhua away, he sent people to gather Xiangyong overnight, and went straight to Qili Village under the leadership of Hanzhong County Catcher. By the time the sky was bright, Da Kui's war horse and luggage had been sent to the Hanzhong County Ya.

Da Kui woke up, and after getting up, a maid had already brought clean water for washing. Then it was sent to the room a very particular breakfast, golden silk baked cakes and lotus seed soup. Da Kui ate early, and there was a large bucket and fragrant soup for bathing. When Da Kui finished bathing, what was presented in front of Da Kui was his official uniform.......

Da Kui couldn't help but add a little favor to this Xia Qingzhong, and he solved the case so quickly, which shows that he is a rare talent. Da Kui went out of the door, and outside the door were two people in Tsing Yi waiting by the door, and when they saw Da Kui going out, they both knelt down to salute.

"Get up, where is Lord Xia?" Da Kui asked.

After the two subordinates got up, the subordinate on the left replied: "Lord Xia is trying the case in the public court, and I instruct the younger ones to serve the good guys." ”

Da Kui nodded with a smile and turned back to the room. Since Xia Qingzhong is trying the case, it is naturally inappropriate to disturb him. The servant then carried Da Kui's burden into the room, put the things on the table and left the room.

Da Kui untied the ropes on the package and began to inspect them one by one. Zhang Wen's secret letter and his own seal letter are all there, but there is no silver tael, and then there are stones that he picked up. Da Kui pulled out the Dragon Yin Sword from the bamboo flat shoulder again, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief. Zhang Wen's secret letter and his own seal letter and Long Yin Sword, if you don't have to move your head, I'm afraid no one can save you, it seems that you still have to thank Xia Qingzhong.

It wasn't until noon that Da Kui saw Xia Qingzhong, and Xia Qingzhong was very polite.

Da Kui couldn't help but ask, "What to do with the thieves who steal horses?"

Xia Qingzhong was stunned for a moment, but asked rhetorically: "Have you ever lost your horse?" ”

It will be Da Kui's turn to be stunned, but then Da Kui laughed, not only praised: "Lord Xia is exquisite." ”

Xia Qingzhong said humbly: "My lord praised it falsely, and the subordinate officials are really ashamed. Then he continued: "Thieves are habitual thieves, and they have committed many crimes in their early years, and they have been in prison several times. Now Emperor Taizu has newly issued the "Da Ming Law", and the thieves are beheaded. For this reason, the lower officials plan to behead him before the arrival of the New Year. ”

Da Kui nodded and asked, "What happened to that shopkeeper?"

Xia Qingzhong hurriedly said: "Xiao San didn't know the identity of the adult, and offended the adult, and the subordinate made amends on his behalf." He said and took a deep look at it. Da Kui hurriedly stretched out his hand to help him and said, "It's just a trivial matter, why worry about it." Lord Xia, hurry up and excuse yourself. ”

Xia Qingzhong hugged his fists and said: "Xiaguan found a good horse for the adult, and asked Lord Zhang to move and evaluate it." ”

"Lord Xia bothered. Da Kui replied with a smile, Xia Qingzhong stretched out his hand to invite, and Da Kui smiled and took the lead out of the room.

Under the guidance of Xia Qingzhong, Da Kui came to the backyard of the county government, and as soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he saw a divine horse standing in the courtyard. Two men were wiping the horse, one left and one right, apparently the horse had just been bathed.

Seeing this horse, Da Kui's heart couldn't help but tighten. I saw that the black horse was sturdy, with slender legs, and a palm-sized white ground on the horse's forehead, but the fur color of the four hooves was as pure as snow, but the rest of the body was black and shiny. Seeing this horse, Da Kui couldn't help but think of Hongyun who died in Yunnan. If the horse's coat were red, wouldn't it look like a red cloud?

Xia Qingzhong stood beside Da Kui, and when he saw Da Kui looking at the black horse intently, he couldn't help laughing: "I heard that the adult wants to choose a good horse, and the Xie gang leader of the horse gang specially dedicated this horse, this horse is called 'Black Wind and Snow Walking' is enough to be a famous horse for a thousand miles, I don't know if the adult still likes it?"

"That's embarrassing. Da Kui is a little shy at the moment.

Xia Qingzhong smiled and said: "Xia Guan is a sour Confucian, and he knows very little about the outside world. But Xie Gang Master has a wide range of friends and has long heard of the deeds of adults. The so-called BMW with heroes, I think only heroes like Zhang can ride this horse. ”

While he was talking, a messenger came in from outside the courtyard and came to Xia Qingzhong's side and whispered. Xia Qingzhong immediately laughed and said: "Cao Cao Cao will arrive, Gang Master Xie is waiting in the front hall at the moment, it seems that he wants to visit Lord Zhang, I don't know what the Lord wants?"

Da Kui looked at this 'black wind stepping on snow' and promised again and again, but he couldn't move. This horse is so beautiful, except that the coat color is very similar to a red cloud, how can it not make Da Kui worry about his stomach.

Xia Qingzhong saw that Da Kui was absent-minded about his words, but he kept staring at the horse, and couldn't help but say again: "My lord, Xie Gang Master asks to see, I don't know what you think?"

Da Kui suddenly woke up, and said with a smile: "Such a generous gift, naturally I have to thank you in person." Recommended by Lord Xia. ”
