25.Chapter 25

The sword was not unsheathed, but it easily cut off the opponent's staff, while removing the bits and pieces hanging on the scabbard, Wei Ye smiled at the very amiable priestess in front of him with a good temper: "I'm sorry, the sword has no eyes, but it's best if the person is not injured." I don't have a lot of copper in my waist, and I can't get the money for the medicine. ”

This kind of nonsense, the priestess didn't want to deal with it seriously, she just raised her arms, looked at Wei Ye carefully, and asked uncertainly, "Aren't you from the northern lieutenant?"

"No, although they are all officials with the establishment of the government, but my administrative affiliation is in Shizhong Temple, and there are no standard civil servants, and I have never had anything to do with the guys who played chengguan in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. As soon as Wei Ye waved his hand, he threw back the string of evil jade pendants, and let the priestess take the wine right, "Compared to me, it is your sect, this is the preparation-"

Wei Ye raised his chin, and the priestess looked in the direction of the sharp finger of the man of unknown origin in front of him, and unexpectedly saw that from the hole in the ground under the base of the low wall, several imps wearing ill-fitting large old clothes wiped their noses and crawled out with a cower.

Only Wei Ye's voice with a joking tone was still ringing without knowing how to read it: "Guijiao, is this planning to drag his family and flee with his mouth?"

Although the green bamboo staff was cut off, the priestess holding the half-cut bamboo staff had an expression of wanting to knock someone's head with the discarded staff when she heard the word "drag the family with a mouth", to see if there were any normal human brains under the skull, or if there were leaky holes everywhere in the brain. However, the eyes of such a professional doctor looking at the terminal patient only appeared for a moment, and the priestess regained that gaze with three points of suspicion and seven points of caution.

"These children were just adopted by our Taoist altar, but Xiao He's "Nine Chapters of Law" does not have a clause for adopting orphans without the permission of the ancestral hall, only the law of turning a good family into a subordinate slave, so someone wants to use this to frame our Taoist group, do you understand?"

"I don't understand," the Qingyi scribe, who was the object of persuasion, spread his hands very directly, "In addition to the nine-chapter law and the sixty articles of the palace ban court ritual decree, the Han law also has the same legal effect of the edicts of the Son of Heaven in the past dynasties, the case ratios and precedents of the court commanders in the past dynasties, and the principles of the Spring and Autumn Classics left by Dong Zhongshu, Zheng Xuan and other great Confucians. Therefore, once you are bitten by a lawsuit, it is basically an official word, and there will always be a way to find out the provisions suitable for your conviction from the tens of millions of words of law. ”

Wei Ye, who is half of the system, smiled sympathetically: "This kind of thing, I can't help it." ”

said very indifferently, but the immortal warlock in the green shirt quietly moved out of the way, which was a bit of a "big road to the sky, each side of the road".

This is also a matter of no way, in order to open up the situation in Luoyang, Taiping Dao was contaminated with too deep traces of the eunuch faction, and Wei Ye is unfortunately the periphery of the imperial party. It's okay to watch this matter, but you can't mix it too deeply, a person who doesn't let Zhang Laozhong know that he is biased towards the Taiping Dao, he can't say that he wants to lose the errand of Shizhong Temple, that is, the standard gains outweigh the losses.

According to the rationalists' opinion, Wei Ye can probably only do so much, and the civil servants pick up the violent organs of the government into the system, which is a crude bridge that can only appear in fantasy stories that do not enter the stream, even if this official is actually a half-bottle of water and a fairy warlock who has just taken office. However, an unemployed folklorist still said when Gan Wantang picked up the youngest thin girl on his back and left him with a dozen children in a nursery aunt: "If you can't get along in Luoyang, come to me, I can still help you escape from this gate." ”

And what answered him was just a smile that Gan Wantang gave back.

It was not like the dignified smile of the priestess in front of the devout people, but like the smile of the nurse lady saying goodbye to a recovered patient.

Wan Gantang left, and disappeared into this maze of Luoyang shantytowns with a dozen children who had just been adopted by Taiping Dao. The eldest little ghost didn't forget to turn his head and glared fiercely at Wei Ye, the standard lackey of the official government, but unfortunately the playful freckles on his face made the ferocity of this look plummet, but for a certain scribe whose skin hardness and thickness far exceeded others, such a look was really painless.

Wei Ye, who was holding the peach gold in one hand and watching Gan Wantang go away, shrugged his shoulders, bypassed the escape tunnel dug by Taiping Road, and sped up his pace towards the Tongheli Taoist altar.

......

......

One is said to be a stick, essentially a thing of solid iron, with a pestle on the ground, and a large cracked bluestone on the side, with a fresh stubble, revealing the blue-gray stone inside.

Jiang Guling looked at this iron rod a little melancholy, he was an old man, so he could naturally see that this strange kid was not easy to mess with. Just now, the young man who looked too young to speak went down with a stick, and cracked the stone under the altar, and his face was not red or panting, and he knew that he had encountered a prickly idea. Such a green steel rod weighs at least more than 30 catties, which is comparable to the eight-sided gourd hammer made by the forbidden golden gourd willer, which is considered a standard heavy weapon. Don't say that a person is broken by a bone and a split brain, even if the sword is parried, it is also likely to be a broken blade.

It was the decision made by the Zhenghao Luoyang Cheng and his staff to provoke the principals of the Taoist altar, and it was Jiang Guling who carried out this strategy. However, in most people's calculations, they were originally the backbone of Taiping Dao who were born in cloth, and with the small family spirit of the humble family, they must have weak legs when they see officials, and even if they are not soft, most of them belong to the group of people who are strong and inward. It's a pity that such a perfect deduction finally hit a broken bone in front of the hard reality, and the young man in front of him who was the main disciple of the Taoist altar actually stood in front of the official like a stone after they showed their identity on the official face.

The solid iron rod landed on the ground, and although the messengers of the Northern Lieutenant Office had always liked to serve as the spokesperson of the Han Dynasty in Luoyang City, they obviously did not like to give up this safe way of law enforcement and directly have close contact with such murder weapons. The most important thing is that the Northern Governor's Office sent them to find fault, not death. It's really open, what's so good, whose responsibility is it? What are the casualties, whose is the bereavement pension?

Therefore, when a poor man who looked as young as the brute boy in front of him couldn't help but want to draw his knife and rush up, he was stopped by Jiang An and Jiang Pengshi.

In the words of some onlookers, Jiang Pengshi's mentality at this time can probably be summed up as, "Director, this scene is different from the script I received!" Unfortunately, it is not filming at the moment, and no director named God jumped out and shouted "Cut!".

Fortunately, Jiang Pengshi is not the only actor tonight.

There are always supporting roles and tricks in movies, and singing big dramas should be divided into small shengxiao dans and clowns, that is to say, cross talk should also be made to praise and tease, seeing a wonderful "My Han law enforcement officers raided a Taoist altar located in Tongheli, Luoyang City, Taiping Road, and seriously criticized the violations of the altar, and ordered the main priest to rectify within a time limit" The main theme of the police and bandit drama has become " Luoyang Baidao, the famous Northern Lieutenant Office and the Taiping Road, which is eaten on both sides of the official green forest, broke out in Tonghe, and there were several casualties on both sides.

The most unbearable viewer gave a bad comment to the scene very bluntly: "I said, you people in charge don't pay attention to the rules." ”

The scene was already about to reach the level of saber rattling, but because of these words, the atmosphere suddenly became more sinister, and almost all eyes were focused on this person who didn't know whether he was alive or dead. And then because this brother who suddenly interjected appeared in the wrong position, he looked a little more sideways.

Only the green-shirted scribe who had climbed onto the roof at some point was unaware of this, but let out a long breath, flattened his chest, and sat down along the thickest branch of the old Huainan branch close to the roof. There is no way, in order to catch up with this excitement, walking from the roof is much faster than drilling the alley, but it is not that Wei Ye wants to quit the iron rice bowl of Shizhong Temple and change his career to become a snitch.

Sitting down on the south branch of the locust tree, facing the anger of the Dahan Dumen Chengguan who had already been aroused to the redness of his eyes by the Northern Lieutenant Office, Wei Ye arched his hand towards the leader dressed as a lieutenant: "But Jiang Pengshi of the Northern Lieutenant Office is in front of him? ”

This kind of cheap and very polite words really didn't have any appeal to Jiang Pengshi, who had a complicated experience, and raised his head unpleasantly, Jiang An opened his mouth in a question-like tone: "Who are you?"

"The surname is Wei, the ancestor is a native of Nanke County, Huai'an State in ancient times, and now the family has settled in Yingchuan, and the students themselves do something for the Shizhong Temple. "Although someone is almost just a private person appointed by an old servant, it does not prevent Wei Ye from holding this most trusted official office today to pull a tiger skin for himself, not to mention that he really has a waist card of the secretary of the Shizhong Temple, and he can enter the forbidden Shizhonglu to do business. Of course, at this time, it would be a little silly to take such a waist card out and dangle, although the Northern Lieutenant Office is famous under the leadership of the former lieutenant and the current Luoyang Cheng, but after all, it is only the northern lieutenant.

At the beginning, the first emperor set up the Guangbu Lieutenant and the Ming Lieutenant in Chang'an, mainly chasing thieves and serving traitors, but it was a small official of the 400 stone of the Yellow Ribbon crown, and the left lieutenant of filial piety and the right lieutenant of filial piety were still routinely led by the 400 stones, and the southern lieutenant and the northern lieutenant were placed behind, and the quality was even worse. Of course, there is nothing to look down on the authority of the public security bureau in the northern district of Luoyang City, as long as there is a way to go out at night and not be beaten to death by a group of violent elements who seem to be poor with five-colored sticks.

This is also the biggest paradox that the Northern Governor's Office is facing now, it has obviously become an important part of the political drama of the capital, but the official status is not comparable to its real strength. Although the system left by Emperor Guangwu has begun to collapse internally, it is still the greatest constraint for all ambitious people. Therefore, on the bright side, a scribe who has no grade or rank in the temple can still talk to the cadres of the northern lieutenant on an equal footing.

Jiang Pengshi reluctantly collected his mood, raised his hand slightly, and returned the salute, and asked in a calm tone as much as possible: "The Northern Lieutenant's Office has accepted a murder case, which is related to more than a dozen lives under Yanyue Mountain, so I am asking the case here, I don't know what the so-called 'not paying attention to the rules', what does Mr. mean?"

Wei Ye glanced at Jiang An, and saw that he didn't react at all to the obvious legendary joke of the Tang Dynasty of "Huai'an Nanke County", and he was sure in his heart, and then glanced at the person who was being framed, looked at the already languishing splash, and asked with a smile: "It seems that this person is either a human witness or a bitter master, dare to ask about the murder of Yanyue Mountain, is it for wealth or murder? Murder, how many lives have been killed? Seeking wealth, how much wealth is missing?"

Xuan Liu was beaten so hard with a stick, he was still confused, but when he heard Wei Ye's last two words in a daze, he hurriedly shouted: "This big official is benevolent, sixteen of our group have died, and the lost property is at least a thousand yuan at the current market price of 40,000 yuan each!"

Five baht thousand, although this price is not shocking, but it is enough to bluff the little ghost. There was a burst of exclamation from the crowd, but Wei Ye frowned and said, "Forty thousand? This price is cheaper than ploughing cattle and pack horses, aren't you selling mules?"

However, his words were immediately interrupted: "This is not an animal, but a child." ”

Putting the green steel rod in his hand to the ground, he looked at the short-haired principal who was not much older than Sima Ling and spat out: "Yazi Xuanliu, a famous person in the Yangshi Market in the south of the city, is doing this dirty business. ”

Listening to the word "human teeth", the corners of Wei Ye's mouth were slightly raised, and he turned to the young man who had been putting on a look of being ready to fight: "I don't know what kind of slave and maid business Xuan Liu's gang of tooth people are doing? Is it a sale, a slight sale, or a plunder?"

According to the Han law, although the slave trade is a low-level business, it is always a legal business, and there are always one or two high-ranking families sitting in the back to share the accounts in such a dirty business. However, according to the Han law, only the two parties agree and make a contract to sell the contract is protected by the law, defrauding a good family and selling themselves into slavery is called "a slight sale", according to the law, it can be sentenced to 3,000 li or even hanging, according to the law, kidnapping and abducting a good family as a slave is called "plundering and selling", if it is confirmed, it is directly beheaded or even amputated limbs. Although there are always many noble and noble bastards among the slave traders in the past dynasties, the noble bastards who do this kind of thing single-handedly, and the official history of the past dynasties are only a handful, and the dirty work is handed over to the scarred-faced character in front of him. With such a role, no one will be happy to stand up for him, even the Northern Lieutenant Office, but he is just using this person to find a reason to test Taiping Road.

However, now this scribe who came out of nowhere like a ghost in the field actually led the problem elsewhere in a few words - it is obvious that Xuan Liu's gang is not clean, but today this prop has not been put to due use in this police and bandit play, and some people want to throw it out on the grounds that the hygiene is not up to standard and the quarantine is not qualified, and any professional actor will not agree. Jiang Pengshi shouted before the fierce boy in Taiping Dao could speak: "Xuan Liu, where did you set up the note?"

Xuan Liu is not a fool, he immediately shook up his spirit when he heard the words, and responded loudly: "If you go back to history, the villains are all left in Deng County, and you will find out if you send someone to investigate." ”

This is simply a fool's errand, Deng County is hundreds of miles away from Luoyang, and the northern lieutenant of Luoyang is only in charge of the arrest and theft of several Fang cities in the north of Luoyang City, how can he be qualified to go to Xia County, which is hundreds of miles away, to ask about the power - it is not far from Jing Zhaoyin. The northern lieutenant appointed the city appearance Peng for a few days, the small scribe who was basically not on duty in the Shizhong Temple, and the little-known young man of Taiping Dao, no one who was qualified and had the leisure to go hundreds of miles away to go to other yamen to overturn the case, and if this matter was investigated, he would really become a fool.

However, in Wei Ye's eyes, this is just a verbal battle, not a big deal. He looked at the green steel rod in the hand of the young man who looked very energetic and gratifying in Taiping Road with a smile, and then looked down at Jiang Pengshi, who looked like he was about to run out of patience, and sighed and smiled: "Lawsuits have always been a mess, and the use of force will inevitably hurt the harmony, why don't you all take a step back and follow the rules of Luoyang Road now?"
