Chapter 3 Section 3
The forbidden soldiers standing on both sides of the yamen of the criminal department suddenly responded, and Ren Tianbai's body trembled, and the secretary pushed away Ren Tianbai, who was dragging him, and pointed at him: "Drive this idler far away, if you dare to come again, you will tie it up and send it to the Yamen of Shuntianfu, and let him eat prison food for a few days!"
"Liu Ye, who are you angry with?" Ren Tianbai saw a few forbidden soldiers coming over with a calm face, and suddenly felt a burst of fear in his heart, but he had come here thousands of miles away, and he was frightened along the way, and he really didn't want to be driven away like this, and when he was hesitating, he heard someone ask from someone at the gate of the Criminal Department, and the secretary who was called Liu Ye hurriedly greeted him with a smile on his face, and said very politely: "Yo, Mr. Chai, have you finished your business today?"
"Chai Zong Arrest?!" Ren Tianbai was shocked by these three words, and looked towards the gate of the Criminal Department, a man who was not good-looking, about fifty years old, slowly paced out of the gate with his hands behind his back, and his head-catching clothes were neatly and neatly cared for, although he was old, he could still see a little handsome when he was young, and a piece of vermilion lacquer waist card on his belt looked a little old, and even a little shabby, but the golden tassels hanging under the waist plate showed a bit of the owner's unique identity, if it were not for the imperial gift, ordinary people would never dare to use it lightly! Chai total catch" these three words, Ren Tianbai knew that this person was as famous as his father, only two in the Ming Dynasty had been summoned by the current Shengshang Golden Temple, and the people of the rivers and lakes called one of the two gods of chasing wind and shadow, the chief arrest of Chai Zheng!
"How can there be anything done in the yamen!" Chai Zheng raised his hand and smiled, and said a little helplessly: "I just have time today, I heard that Liu Ye is here, I don't know who to be angry with, so I came to take a look, after all, I am a head catcher, appeasement for the adults, is it also the proper meaning of the question! This later life looks like an honest person, how can you make Liu Ye so angry!"
Although Chai Zheng asked the clerk surnamed Liu, his eyes had already turned to Ren Tianbai, but when Ren Tianbai saw Chai Zheng at first sight, he was stunned for a while, and the clerk surnamed Liu frowned slightly, and quickly stopped Chai Zheng, and said in a low voice: " Chai Zongzhu doesn't know, this kid is not someone else, but the son of Ren Qiuzhi Ren Zongzhuo, today I don't know how to break into Beijing, to see Lord Zhang, if it is in the past, with Ren Qiuzhi following Lord Zhang for so many years, you can also say back, even if you don't see it, there are some things to give, even if you don't forget the old feelings, but now Chai Zongzhu you also know that this Jianghu is rumored ......"
"Master Liu, don't you also know that it is rumors?" Chai Zheng listened to the chatter of this book, his face slowly sank, and suddenly interrupted: "Don't say anything else, you also came from Nanjing with Master Zhang, when Ren Zongzhu was alive, he also had a good relationship with him, how Ren Zongzhu is a person, I don't know this Jianghu, don't you Liu Ye know? Although I have only met with Ren Zongzhu a few times, I don't believe that he is such a person who forgets his righteousness!"
Ren Tianbai is not far away, Chai Zheng's words hit his heart like a giant mallet, and a sour feeling rose from his heart, no wonder this scrivener behaved like this to himself, it seems that he also knows the rumors of the rivers and lakes, for fear of being implicated in this matter, and then think about what Nanjing City said quickly, so that the prefect of Tianfu should be involved in the murder of Ren Qiuzhi early, and now in this officialdom, I am afraid that I am a little afraid of myself and avoid it, I can't imagine that Chai Zheng can still believe in his father so much!
"Firewood...... Total Catch ...... You say that...... But there are some ...... Some ...... "Liu Ye was a little embarrassed on his face, after all, Chai Zheng said that he had known Ren Qiuzhi back then, and today he is so cold to Ren Tianbai, and it is not very good to spread it." Chai Zheng shook his head and sighed: "This also can't complain about Liu Ye, there is a way for bees to fall into your arms, and you undress yourself! You have been following Master Zhang for some years, and everything is naturally to think about Lord Zhang's official voice, Lord Zhang is an official and upright, if you are really entangled in these rumors, it is indeed a little inappropriate!"
"Say it!" Liu Ye's face eased at this time, and he couldn't help but feel a little more grateful to Chai Zheng, and hurriedly took over the conversation and said: "After all, I have also worked with Mr. Ren once, and I don't want to see him end up like this, but now it's not a little ...... Some...... I can't help myself......"
"Master Liu, you don't have to say it!" Chai Zheng smiled faintly on his face, looked at Ren Tianbai and said: "Although Chai is a person in the public family, he is not an official in the end, and he has no future, but he does not shy away from these things, Brother Ren'er's trip, I am afraid that it is already exhausted, if I ignore it, but I will get acquainted with Mr. Ren in vain, and I don't have to tell Master Zhang about this matter, just leave it to me!"
"Mr. Chai catches ...... Chai Zong arrested ...... "Liu Ye still wanted to stop Chai Zheng, but he called twice, and when he saw Chai Zheng's head, he didn't look back, so he had to sigh, knowing that this chief arrester of the Criminal Department looked like a group of people and was very good at being a man, but there was another stubbornness in his bones, as long as his mind was decided, he couldn't pull it back, so he had to go with him!"
"Brother Ren, this is not a place to speak, you come with me!" Chai Zheng came over and looked at the dusty servant, Ren Tianbai, who was standing there stunned, greeted and said: "Presumably Brother Ren hasn't eaten today, come with me to eat some wine and rice!"
Ren Tianbai saw Chai Zheng, he was already a little ignorant at this time, just followed Chai Zheng out of the gate of the criminal department, came to the street, about two streets, suddenly felt a burst of aroma through the brain, saliva in his mouth gushed out like a floodgate, he couldn't help but swallow two mouthfuls, Chai Zheng looked back and smiled: "It seems that Brother Ren is really hungry, come and come, this is a well-known delicacy in the capital today, today I am East, please let Brother Ren taste it!"
"Yo, Mr. Chai is here!" The two of them had not yet walked to the front of the store, and the little second brother standing at the door had already seen Chai Zheng, and trotted all the way up to greet him: "Mr. Chai is here, the small shop is full of splendor!
"It's not the first time I've been here, so what's the matter!" Chai Zheng reached out and took out a small ingot of silver, threw it to the little two, and said, "Here are two good ducks, a pot of good wine, and a few good side dishes!"
"Two high-quality ducks, a pot of good wine, and a good side dish!" The little second brother almost followed Chai Zheng's head and reported inside, Ren Tianbai was a little surprised to see it, he had eaten a lot of restaurants in Huazhou City back then, but he greeted the guests like this, but it was the first time he saw it, and in a blink of an eye, the little second brother lifted the curtain, and stood outside without moving, and someone inside had already followed, Chai Zheng stepped into the door, and heard a burst of flattery! Chai Zheng also saluted again and again, kept his feet, and led Ren Tianbai, who looked surprised, straight up to the second floor, and entered a private room to sit down!
