It's not that Tang Li hasn't seen ghosts, so he believed Liu Zhutou's words on the spot, but with the bull head and horse face, he wasn't too worried, "Tell the front, speed up." ”

"Yes, sir. Liu Zhutou responded, and beckoned Pi San in front of him to speed up.

At this moment, a cold and biting cold wind blew, and the horses immediately became irritable and neighed, and several people pulled together to avoid chaos.

The spirituality of animals is higher than that of humans, and they can see dirty things that cannot be seen by human eyes.

"Master, this sneaky thing has some ways, and it can't be removed, so I can only force it back, please go first. After getting Ma Mian's reply, Tang Li hurriedly ordered people to leave here, and there was no need to worry about the horses that could not be subdued, as long as they did not delay the normal driving, the lost horses could be bought again.

Tang Li looked behind the car, only to see the ghostly shadow in the moonlight, a black wind swept away the black shadow that seemed to be nothing, and was quickly surrounded, he knew that this was Ma Mian was fighting with the sneak, although he couldn't help the other party, but it didn't seem to be any danger.

However, Tang Li didn't feel good in his heart, obviously he didn't owe each other, but these two brothers sacrificed their lives to protect and let them be sent, thinking of this, Tang Li couldn't help but sigh with emotion, if it was possible, he would definitely not treat these two brothers badly.

After traveling for more than ten miles in one breath, when everyone couldn't feel the evil wind, they breathed a sigh of relief, and the work was not big, and Ma Mian also followed, and got rid of all those sneaks.

It stands to reason that there are sneaks in this place, there should be monks who come to catch ghosts, and it is also a merit, how can these ghosts be allowed to come out to make trouble, Tang Li couldn't help but be a little puzzled, but this matter is not in a hurry, and there will be a chance to find out the reason in the future.

......

In the early morning of the third day after departure, Tang Li and his party came to the gate of Nantian City, looking at the two-zhang high magnificent city tower, which was indeed not comparable to a small county town.

Entering the city, the prosperity of the city is not comparable to Qisong County, the high-rise buildings are lined up one after another, the streets are full of traffic, people come and go, the prosperity is like a brocade, the most eye-catching thing is the five-storey attic building, the three gilded characters of the dragon flying and the phoenix dancing on the lintel plaque ,—— Tianxiangyuan.

Tang Li had heard of this Tianxiangyuan for a long time, when he was locked in the prison cell, Hu Er said how the girls here were, and later he learned that it was all Hu Er's hearsay, this time Hu Erpi San insisted on coming to Fucheng, and a large part of them came to this Tianxiangyuan.

Tang Li also quite likes this Tianxiangyuan, it is said that the top brand Qianjiao girl here was born in the national color Tianxiang, and she does not sell her body, even if she looks at it, it still needs twenty taels of silver to start, and it only receives ten guests every day, and it is to come to the scene with countless sons at all costs.

It is said that now that he has fried a hundred taels of silver, he wants to see if the Qianjiao girl is so beautiful.

But at this time, it is still important to get down to business, and the first priority is to meet Lord Fuzun.

In front of the Nantianfu Gate.

"Do you understand the rules," said one of the guards on duty with a disgusted expression, "You don't look at what time it is, how can the Lord of the Mansion see you, go and go, wait in the foyer of the mansion, this is not the place where you came." ”

Liu Geng is a head catcher, no, it should be said that he will soon become a punishment, but he was counted down by a guard of the door, and he didn't even look at the silver bag handed over to the other party, his old face was really a little unbearable.

But there is no way, this is Nantianfu, don't say that he is a small head catcher, even the Qipin County Order is not much better, so he can only transfer to the government and wait for the lord of the mansion.

When he came to the mansion and handed over the silver, Tang Li was fortunate enough to wait in the side room of the ya, and he was the only one, from early morning to noon, after the meal, Tang Li was passed to the back hall.

The work was not large, and a man about forty years old wearing a scarlet official robe and a black sand on his head turned the screen and came to the main seat of the back hall to sit down.

"Humble Tang Li, I have seen Lord Fuzun. Tang Li saluted.

"Haha...... , Lord Tang, please take a seat," Lord Liu, the prefect, let go with one hand, then looked Tang Li up and down, and continued, "Lord Tang is famous, and I have heard of it in this mansion for a long time, and when I saw it today, he was really handsome and different. ”

"The adults have won the award, and they dare not take it seriously. Tang Li said modestly.

"Lord Tang doesn't have to be so humble, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, and we need to work together in the future, and we will be in the same boat through thick and thin. Lord Liu said with a smile on his eyebrows.

"Obey the teachings of Lord Fuzun. Tang Li saluted again with a humble face.

"Okay, hehe," the prefect was very satisfied when he saw that he was teachable, not arrogant or arrogant, so he pointed out a few words to him, which was nothing more than some taboos for officials and so on.

"The city is not as good as the county, the officials and nobles, there are not a few strong forces, and there is strong support behind the old bustard of a brothel in a green house, so although I am an official in the court, some people can't afford to offend. ”

Governor Liu has a taste that is difficult to explain, and then said, "In addition, Lord Tang is in charge of the prison prison of the First Mansion, and it is inevitable that he will be beaten by all forces. ”

Tang Li was confused when he heard this, and said in his heart, isn't he just a person who cares about the prison, whether the prisoners in the prison should be beaten or punished or killed, isn't it all your Lord Liu's business, he has a woolen relationship with me, and he seems to be a big official.

And listening to the meaning of the prefect's words, he seems to be an official who is not under the control of the government, but like an independent yamen.

"I know that I will never cause trouble to my lords. Although Tang Xuan had a thousand doubts, he had to pretend at this time, so as not to be looked down upon.

As for the twists and turns in this, it will naturally be slowly smoothed out after taking over.

"This government is not afraid of trouble, but afraid of trouble and walking around," Liu Zhifu restrained his smile and said solemnly, "Now that the forces of all parties do not have a backer, it is obviously a heinous crime, and the evidence is ironclad, but as a result, the Criminal Department went home for the New Year with a single sentence, and many times the government did not even have a chance to intervene." ”

Lord Liu looked at Tang Li with great meaning, "But sometimes the situation will be diametrically opposite, under the pressure of a certain force, although he was found not guilty, but there was an additional clause in the text 'must die', so before this person is released from prison, it must be a corpse." ”

Lord Liu paused, "There seems to be no connection between the two, but in fact, there is not only one, but also a lot of relevance, I don't know how much Lord Tang can understand the stakes?"

O Nima!

Tang Li only felt that the cold wind was swishing behind him, isn't this prison the scapegoat used by the imperial court to carry the black cauldron!

No, Tang Li suddenly realized that none of what Lord Liu said before was nonsense,—— first he was tempted, and then he reminded him not to overstep his bounds, otherwise no one would be able to protect him.

is a prefect, Tang Li is secretly frightened, this city's scheming is far deeper than he imagined, if he doesn't express his stance or expresses a wrong attitude at this time, I'm afraid that he won't know how to die.

Tang Li organized the wording and said, "The adult's care and lowly duty is inscribed in the five, but the subordinates are clumsy, and the adults need to mention more. ”

"Haha...... , It's serious," Lord Liu twisted a strand of beard, and said with a hearty smile, "Lord Tang is young and promising, and he must have a bright future, and I hope that Lord Tang can take more care of this official in the future." ”

......

Tang Li walked out of the back hall, his whole body was soaked, his head was faintly painful,—— he had a few pounds and taels, could he still have a forced number in his heart.

These old fritters in the officialdom are all scheming, and they are all very empty when they pull a hair down, and he can't do this kind of brain-playing work.

However, taking off this official skin is not conducive to his current situation, Tang Li secretly wondered in his heart, how can he live a more comfortable life.
