Chapter 17: The routine is too deep
After Teng Ji went out, he immediately called a group of officials under his command and instructed them to find out what had happened on the streets in the past two days, especially those who could be next to the county lieutenant.
Half a day passed, and his subordinates gathered all kinds of news. After Teng Ji looked through them one by one, he had a little bottom in his heart, and he probably guessed what the county lieutenant was going to do by himself. After doing it for a long time, it turned out that he wanted to help his concubine's nephew get angry.
Zhou Cai has coveted Aunt Hu's bun shop for more than a day or two, and he has heard about it from his subordinates before. What's more, there is also a Cai Ergou mixed in here, and this guy has been stealing chickens and dogs a few times in the hands of the officials on weekdays. For now, he left a criminal record in the police station.
But just yesterday, Zhou Cai and Cai Ergou were beaten severely, and the bun shop didn't get it, but they were blackmailed.
To be honest, after Teng Ji knew the news, he secretly applauded in his heart.
He is a regular customer of Mrs. Hu's bun shop, and he doesn't want to see her end up in a bleak night, and he really doesn't have a good impression of Zhou Wu's family, this woman relies on her sister to be the favorite concubine of the county lieutenant, and she usually looks arrogant when she sees herself.
Although he didn't know her in general, he still held back the fire in his heart. But looking at the current situation, is it the county lieutenant's concubine who blew the pillow wind on the bed?
What was originally just a conflict between neighbors is now going around and around, and the more troublesome it gets. But since the county lieutenant spoke, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.
What to do is clear at a glance, Fan Gang's "villain" must be arrested, and how to deal with it depends on the meaning of the adult.
As for Aunt Hu, hey, you said that you are so old and still work outside all day, how hard it is. Since someone wants to buy your shop, then just sell it, and get the money to enjoy the blessings at home!
But there's another person here, and he's a little unsure.
Teng Ji asked a group of subordinates: "Who collected this news, and actually said that those injured splashes were beaten by this kid named Cheng Kun, do I look like a fool?"
One of the people below stood up and shouted in his mouth, "My lord, I don't believe it either, but I asked a few people who saw what happened at the time, and they all insisted in unison that it was this Cheng Kun who beat it, and the little one checked it several times, and it didn't feel like they were lying, so they could only take it back and hand it over to you." ”
After Teng Ji listened, he didn't speak, if the injuries on those people were really caused by Cheng Kun, then the matter would be a little tricky.
The injuries of Cai Ergou and his two subordinates were reported by the officials: one person's right arm was abolished, and he could only be a Condor hero from now on; one who could not see the injury on the surface, and later went to the hospital for examination, and the doctor said that his viscera was injured, the kidney meridian was damaged, and he may be left with the sequelae of impotence and premature ejaculation in the future; the worst thing is Cai Ergou, not to mention that his right leg is broken, and the work below is completely abolished, and the eggs are broken!
But the official who saw the injury had very poisonous eyes, and after careful observation, he found that although the injuries of these people looked very serious, they were not worried about their lives, and the people who shot were very measured, and they did not really hit the vital point of the human body, or even if they were hit, the force was not heavy.
This is somewhat interesting, Teng Ji thought to himself, no matter which dynasty or generation, the crime of intentional injury and the crime of intentional homicide are two different concepts.
Such a martial art, it is impossible to come out of thin air, this Cheng Kun must have a teacher, and the apprentice is still like this, the master must be even more extraordinary, in this way, whether to arrest this Cheng Kun together must be carefully considered.
Strangely, his reasoning process was full of errors and omissions, but the conclusions he came to were surprisingly correct.
......
In the small courtyard of the armory shop, Cheng Kun stood in front of the iron furnace and tried to melt the iron ore in front of him and pour it into the finished mold. In the shade by the wall, Tang Zhong lay on the chair with a leisurely face, supervising the apprentices who had just been collected.
This is the first skill that Tang Zhong taught him after becoming his master - striking iron!
According to Tang Zhong, Cheng Kun's physique can be said to be excessively strong among his peers, but if he wants to cultivate the "Iron Cloak Technique", the stronger the better, the stronger the body, the faster the speed of cultivation in the future. So now it is still necessary to strike iron first, lay a solid foundation, when Cheng Kun independently created the first weapon, and when to teach him skills.
Therefore, Cheng Kun could only learn from scratch and become a blacksmith first.
Alas, I haven't officially changed jobs yet, and it's okay to learn a deputy job first.
At this moment, an unknown person shouted outside: "Cheng Kun, is Cheng Kun here, something is wrong, Fan Gang has been arrested by the officials!"
When Cheng Kun heard it, he hurriedly ran out.
The one who shouted was a young man of about fifteen or sixteen years old, looking anxious, and when he saw Cheng Kun running out, he hurriedly said: "You are Cheng Kun? Fan Gang was arrested, just now, he asked me to find you, reminding you to be careful, and when I came over, I also saw a group of officials looking for you." ”
Cheng Kun's face was very calm, and he knew as soon as he heard it that this was a follow-up to yesterday's incident. Although Fan Gang had already told him before that Zhou Cai's aunt was the concubine of the county lieutenant, he didn't take it to heart at the time, and he never thought that Fan Gang would be arrested by the county government.
Careless, Cheng Kun thought.
His thinking is still stuck in modern society, and he underestimates the power held by the county lieutenant in this era. In the 21st century, does the police chief of a small county town dare to send police forces to arrest the nephew of his second wife because of an accident?
But the county lieutenant dared, and he didn't need to say it explicitly, as long as the words revealed a little bit of meaning, a large number of subordinates took the initiative to step forward and compete for this rare opportunity to pat themselves on the back.
Now, if the official wants to arrest him together, he can only admit it temporarily, and it is not fun to confront the government, the biggest violent machine.
But to say that he is still afraid, that is not enough. The bigger the trouble, the better it will be for him.
The reason behind the use of government officials to arrest a child who is only ten years old is still untenable, and if the matter is big, it will be very unsightly. Cheng Kun believes that even if he is a county lieutenant, he will have to be embarrassed!
Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived. Soon, more than a dozen officials came over from the east, led by Teng Ji, and Cai Ergou was also among this group of people.
Cheng Kun glanced at the young man who came to remind him, he was really too young, people had already discovered you, and he had been following behind, so he found it so quickly.
He didn't want to blame this kind-hearted young man, he walked directly to Teng Ji: "You want to find Cheng Kun, it's me." ”
Teng Ji looked at Cheng Kun in surprise, from the outside, Cheng Kun is a handsome teenager, about the same height as a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, and his figure is also thin, no matter how he looks at it, he doesn't look like a murderer who tramples on other people's balls.
He glanced back at Cai Ergou and brought him over to make sure he didn't catch the wrong person.
Cai Ergou looked at Cheng Kun with hateful eyes, and nodded to indicate that it was him. He will not forget this face, it is this child, who has turned himself into a eunuch, which is more painful for a man than death, and after only one day, he is horrified to find that his voice is thinning, and his beard is showing signs of falling out.
After confirming that it was correct, two people walked out behind Teng Ji with ropes and prepared to tie Cheng Kun up and take him back to the county office.
At this time, a person walked out of the store and stopped him in a loud voice: "You want to take my apprentice, have you asked me if you have not!" It was Tang Zhong who spoke.
When he saw Cheng Kun being called out, he was a little uneasy, but when he came out, he took a look, okay, in just a few minutes, the apprentice he had just received was about to be tied back!
He laughed angrily, when Cheng Zhen went home yesterday, he also assured the other party that he would not let Cheng Kun have any accidents, and it was only a day later, so many people jumped out to slap him in the face. If he just let these people tie Cheng Kun back, what face would he have to be someone else's master.
Seeing this, Teng Ji said in his heart, when he came, he knew that things would not go so smoothly, and this Cheng Kun's master really jumped out.
For Tang Zhong, Teng Ji is a little unfamiliar. The west of the city is already sparsely populated, there is not much oil and water, and Tang Zhong spends most of his time in his shop on weekdays and rarely walks outside, so even he doesn't know the details of this man very well.
Teng Ji has been the head of the government service team in Xinfeng County for more than 20 years, relying on being cautious. Seeing Tang Zhong come out, he didn't get angry, but just asked: "Who are you who dare to hinder the government from taking people?"
The disdainful expression on Tang Zhong's face at this time was undisguised: "Just because you also want to represent the government, it's just a joke." When I killed the Hun dogs on the battlefield with the general, I am afraid that you were still lying on the belly of a woman!"
Teng Ji: The sentence "......" is a bit informative.
Tang Zhong's words could be said to be arrogant to the extreme, but Teng Ji didn't care about these details, he only asked: "General, who are you a subordinate?" Then, he heard the answer he didn't want to hear.
"Tian Gehou!"
I can't live this day, and catching a random person actually led to Tiangehou?!
He is not afraid of Teng Ji's nonsense, in Youzhou, the person who dares to pretend to be a subordinate of Lord Tiange Hou has not yet been born.
Tengji would love to go home now, when none of this has happened. But unfortunately, he could only think about it in his heart. At this point, it is impossible to bring Cheng Kun back, and the people under him are already numb. Now, I can only go back first, tell the county lieutenant about the situation, and ask him to decide.
He finally asked Tang Zhong's name, and after receiving the answer, he led a group of people back the same way without hesitation, leaving only Cai Ergou, who was still a little unsure of what was going on, to stay where he was, and when he saw that these servants threw him down and left by himself, he looked at Cheng Kun and showed a smile like crying.
Cheng Kun watched from the sidelines, and was also a little dumbfounded, the matter was just solved? The master just came out and said a cruel word, and then lightly moved the backer behind him, and then these people knelt.
He approached the master awkwardly, "The master is mighty and domineering, and the apprentice's admiration for you is like a surging river, stretching endless......ly."
Tang Zhong's head was big when he heard this, and he quickly interrupted, "Stop, stop." Where did you learn these sycophants, why don't you go back to striking iron, I'm ugly to say in the front, if you don't do well, be careful that I spank you. ”
Cheng Kun touched his head, he looked at his master, and asked cautiously: "Master, didn't you quit the Dingshan Army, how can you still use the banner of Lord Tiangehou now?"
Tang Zhong found that he really couldn't treat this apprentice as a child, indeed, if he was bluffing, once the matter was revealed, the consequences would be unimaginable. But he just said with a smile: "I quit the Dingshan Army, but I didn't say that I am no longer General Peng's soldiers!"
Cheng Kun was dumbfounded, Nima, these old guys' routines are really deep!
