The answer, of course, is still far away.

The old man chatted about the boyish madness, the left led Huang, the right Qingcang, the brocade hat and the mink Qiu, and the thousand horses rolled Pinggang.

The young man's majestic hair for a while is just his inner reverie, and it can't shorten the distance between him and the rivers and lakes.

As far as the current one and a half moves are concerned, only the level of knowledge of the rivers and lakes by the storyteller, the young man is afraid that he can't even read the words "rivers and lakes" clearly.

The heart was happy, and the young man was intoxicated with the feeling of riding a horse, and before he knew it, he had arrived at the yamen in the city.

Recalling the main road in the city just now, the young people swaggered through the market, and the ordinary people cast frightened and envious eyes, and the young people also began to understand why the children of high-ranking officials liked to ride horses.

Yang Yanlang had already hovered on his horse in front, and Sun Longhu also hurriedly dismounted to help Zhong Ming.

When getting on the horse, it was a little laborious, and there was no need for others to help him get off the horse, so the young man jumped off the horse and touched the long face of the falling snow and said: "Hard work." ”

Falling Snow snorted, which was a response.

Yang Yanlang walked over and asked, "How does it feel to ride a horse?"

The young man looked excited and said loudly, "It feels good!"

Yang Yanlang smiled with relief: "The eldest boy is ambitious in all directions, he can't ride a horse, how to break through the Quartet, and when he finishes the matter of dividing the fields, go to my stable to pick a good horse and give it to you." ”

Just in line with the young man's wishes, he immediately said, "The little nephew thanked his uncle first!"

"Don't mention thank you to your uncle in the future. Waving his hand and waving the sleeves of his robe, Yang Yanlang said again: "Our uncle and nephew should hurry up and go to the yamen to finish their work, and the worship should not be too late." ”

After speaking, Yang Yanlang raised his legs and walked into the yamen, and the thin scale riders beside him were also lined up in turn, dismounting to guard the yamen, and Sun Longhu and his personal guards were holding the handle of the Tang knife in their hands, and followed behind the general with their heads held high, so they looked like an official.

The young man did not rush into the yamen, but examined the palace.

The yamen is not as majestic as the young man imagined, but rather a down-and-out appearance.

The door of the house is very tall, but the vermilion paint color has fallen off a lot, it is slightly dim, even the floating nails have signs of loosening and falling off, the curved wall top tiles extend outward, like a bird spreading its wings, and the tiles used to decorate are also missing a lot, even the ridged beast at the end of the tile ridge is missing half of the head.

Obviously, this is a dilapidated yamen in disrepair, just like the broken walls of a border town, which has been burned by many wars.

This complex has experienced a history of more than 100 years, from the original city lord's mansion to the current yamen, it has undergone several changes of owners, and it is very difficult to retain it as it is today.

The New Tang Dynasty was built, and the inner courtyard of the imperial city in Luoyang City was not renovated with any money, not to mention the yamen of this border town.

There is a place where you can take out your hand, and the county commander will ask God to worship the Buddha, and the renovation is a matter of the Year of the Monkey and the month of the horse.

In fact, Zhong Ming was very suspicious that even if the county magistrate had enough money in his hand to renovate the yamen, he would not do it.

Because there are rumors that the arrival of Captain Zhiguo is the forerunner of the New Tang Dynasty policy, and he, the county commander of the two dynasties who was replaced by the former Chen, is afraid that he will be taken off the black gauze hat. If you don't take the opportunity to make more money now, I'm afraid that the county commander will not have a chance in the future.

Thinking of this, the young man sneered, even if this yamen was down, the demons and monsters raised in it could eat people.

Not to mention that when the edict prohibiting the eating of corpses came down a year ago, the county commander ordered a few fast catchers to take people to fill up the number at will, that is, when there was a shortage of food a year ago, the fast catchers ran to the homes of ordinary people to grab food, which also made Zhong Ming have no good impression of the people in this yamen.

They are evil ghosts who choose people and devour, bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and the more honest the civilians, the tighter they bully.

Therefore, the young man easily did not want to come here, even if the county magistrate praised the young man's words with his thumb several times.

If it weren't for the fact that others could not do it for them, the young men would rather go to the base of the city wall to carry stones and work as coolies than see their ugly faces.

Just as the young man was staring at the plaque of the government office with the paint peeling, a cry suddenly came from the county office.

Unable to keep watching, he immediately raised his leg and crossed the threshold of the county government and walked into the county office.

I saw a group of small men in brown linen clothes surrounded by the county office, who should be the servants of large families, and they formed a circle, and inside were three brightly dressed people.

The leader was a white-faced man in a satin black robe, his eyes were round, his eyes were bloodshot, and he was holding a horizontal knife in his hand, pointing directly at the county magistrate above the court.

This person dared to go to court with a knife, ignoring the prestige of the official family of the New Tang Dynasty, which shows his anger and rampantness.

In fact, in the border town, the forces are complicated, although the county commander is the largest official position, but it is not the most effective to speak, the big families here have been entrenched for a long time, inherited for several generations, really make trouble, the small yamen is really not suppressed.

As far as Zhong Ming knows, the county government is also a good hand at catching heads, and he is a good man who dares to kill, and the other fast catchers are all fishers in troubled waters.

Behind the man in the black robe holding the knife is a boy who shakes a fan, with a peach blossom forest outlined on the fan, dressed in a plain robe, wearing a gold collar crown, a black flute around his waist, and a warm jade pendant tied to the belt.

The New Tang Dynasty has a rule that the eighteenth man is a crown, and the crown ceremony must be performed, and the hard-working children of the common family have no mention of the crown, and only the children of the family are qualified to hold such a ceremony.

There is a saying that the crown is good and bad, and ordinary people and the crown are only copper or wooden collar crowns, if they are not people with deep family backgrounds, they can't wear the gold collar crown.

Besides, the unicorn jade pendant on the waist of this son-in-law brother is a symbol of dignity.

In the past, there was a palace minister and poet who wrote such words: Willing to stay in the West Lake for a few months, Qiantang met the little unicorn for the first time.

It is said that when the Qiantang River Poetry Conference was held, he waited to get acquainted with an amazing genius who ruled the world, and later that genius lived up to expectations and became a famous figure today, and the official worshiped as the prime minister.

Then the first acquaintance between this poet and the current prime minister became a good story.

First, it is said that everyone has a discerning eye for poetry, which can be called the world's Bole, and the second is that the prime minister of the dynasty has achieved fame and is known as the first person under the real dragon, the unicorn.

Therefore, the unicorn jade pendant cannot be worn by the children of ordinary families, and if it is not for the famous and powerful families of Zhong Ming Dingshi, they cannot wear it.

Coincidentally, when I saw this boy, the young man still knew him.

This person is the little son of the Tian family, Tian Xingjian.

Tianxing Jianjun is constantly striving for self-improvement. Simple and easy to understand, when Zhong Ming first heard the name of this Tian Gongzi, he thought of the meaning.

If it is this Tian Gongzi, the unicorn jade pendant must be worn.

His grandfather is the prime minister of the dynasty, the Tian Yizheng who is known as the Qilinzi, Tian Gongzi is even more intelligent since childhood, reading the Book of Poetry at the age of five, being able to compose poems at the age of seven, and thirteen poems with the Qilinzi, and the Qilinzi praised: "The grandson's talent is far better than the old decay, and he deserves the title of the little Qilin." ”

It's just that this little Qilin, who was supposed to enter the official career in Luoyang City, was sent back to his hometown in the border two years ago and became the little head of the Tian family in the border.

Some people are rumored to say that the little unicorn will not be willing to do so, and will be relegated back to the border if he is left out in the cold.

As rumors have said, this Tian Gongzi was also intoxicated with fun all day long after coming to the frontier, drinking with a group of fake scholars such as eagles and lackeys, and hangover in Hongfang Pavilion every night.

If Zhong Ming hadn't met this Tian Gongzi because of the grain purchase a few years ago, he would definitely think like ordinary people.

But the young man is fortunate to have seen this wise and resourceful, and understands that things are far from being as simple as the rumors, and this little Qilin Tian Gongzi, or the Qilin Zi in Luoyang, must be planning a great cause.

Even Tian Gongzi came to join in the fun, it seems that there is something big happening in the court today.

I saw the black-robed and white-faced man holding a knife and pointing directly at the county commander above the high hall, and shouted angrily: "Master He, you must give me an explanation today, my son died tragically in the west of the city, but you used a sentence of official life to prevaricate our Wu family, do you not take our Wu family in your eyes!"

As soon as the words of the head of the Wu family fell, Wu Li, who was sitting on the ground behind him, cried loudly, holding Wu Zhukuai's corpse in his arms, and shouting "My poor son!", a good husband and wife.

When the young man saw this scene, he suddenly realized that it was the Wu family who came to the door.

In the past, the Wu family was also a big family in a border town, having practiced martial arts for generations, and was a little famous in the borderlands.

Don't run? The county ordered the old man to take the Wu family to turn over the border, and he also wanted to slash Zhong Ming to death on the spot.

But now is different from the past, the young man with the support of the general is full of confidence, and he only slows down a little, thinks about the benefits and disadvantages, and walks into the public hall with his head up.

At this time, Yang Yanlang had already walked to the court, and he naturally understood what was going on in the court with a knife.

The young man walked up to the general and whispered, "Uncle, how do you think this matter should be handled?"

"Don't keep quiet, I'll take care of this matter. ”

Yang Yanlang waved his hand slightly, immediately strode to the court, and said loudly: "He County Order, why is there someone in the hall who is making trouble with a knife, but you don't care?"

He County Commander is a slightly rich little old man, his two eyes are like mung beans, and he looks like a deputy thief with rat eyes, and I don't know how such a person became a county commander.

As soon as he saw the general coming, He County's order, who was originally as pale as a vegetable melon and trembled his hands with anger, hurriedly shouted: "Lord Captain, you can come, this is not a ...... sent by you."

Halfway through the words, He Xianling was dumbfounded, Wu Zhukuai's body was sent by Yang Yanlang, but how could he say this kind of scene.

Seeing that He County Commander didn't answer, Yang Yanlang didn't talk nonsense to him, and waved his hand directly: "Where is the Fine Scale Army, take down the bandits who want to stab He County Order with a knife, put them in prison, and interrogate them on a later date!"

As early as the moment when the general arrived, the head of the Wu family was looking, but he didn't expect this captain to be so decisive and take him into prison without asking.

The head of the Wu family shouted in horror: "My lord, I have ......a grievance!

"Don't talk nonsense, go to court with a knife, despise my New Tang Dynasty Constitution, and want to assassinate the court officials, pull me down!"

Yang Yanlang is a general who gallops on the battlefield, how can he be patient, on the battlefield, as long as he violates the military law, he will be immediately killed.

If it weren't for the fact that his son died at the hands of Zhong Ming, the general still had some pity and would have drawn a knife to cut off his head.

The fine scale rider would not listen to how the head of the Wu family cried, Sun Longhu stared, took out the Tang knife, and surrounded him with three fine scale riders.

But he didn't think that this Wu family master was a bold man, and the knife in his hand swept away, forcing Sun Longhu and his army to ride, and shouted angrily: "I am the head of the Shang Wu family of three surnames and ten families in border towns, which of you dares to touch me!"
