Qujing, Yunnan.

The lobby of the prefect's yamen.

The reception of Shen Tianpeng and a group of four people was the prefect Tang Jian. The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, the strong dragon is difficult to suppress the head snake, and there is still the governor's yamen behind him, Tang Jian did not take Shen Tianpeng and the others in his eyes.

"In the case of Deng Erheng, didn't Governor Xu (Zhiming) already hand over the fold to the Holy Lord?" After listening to Shen Tianpeng and the others' explanations, Governor Tang asked casually. "Locally, General He Youbao, the deputy general of the Yamen Governor's Yamen, who had investigated the case, personally went here to investigate and inspect in detail, and has arrested and brought justice to justice the thief Li Bao and his accomplices, who killed Lord Deng. I don't know what the adults sent by the Criminal Department want to testify?"

Governor Xu Zhiming's recitation and the emperor's annotation, before Shen Tianpeng came, he heard Zhou Zupei say it when he was appointed by the Criminal Department. The gist of the song was: "Deng Erheng went to Shaanxi from Yunnan, and was escorted by troops sent by me, and when he arrived in Qujing, he lived in the government and the courtyard. Tang Jian, the governor of the prefecture, etc., is not very strict, and wants to send troops to inspect. Unexpectedly, Deng Erheng said that there was not much luggage, and there was no need to defend it, leaving only two servants to wait. That night, Deng Erheng heard that there was a thief in the courtyard, and personally blocked the door and shouted for arrest. The thief Li Bao hated Deng Erheng and heard about it, so he and his gang rushed in and killed Deng Erheng. When the government heard the police, it was reported that all the criminals were arrested for military service, and they were punished on the spot. As soon as the emperor saw the folding, he was furious and ordered Xu Zhiming to reprimand:" Since the prefect Tang Jian wanted to send troops to inspect the situation, why did he stop it; stealing and resisting arrest and injuring people was a common thing, but Deng Erheng was a senior member, so why did he lightly block the door; that is, the criminal Li Bao killed the thief because he had a grudge, but in the darkness, how could he know that the person who blocked the door and shouted to catch the thief was the one who should be fussing; and knew that Li Bao's killing was actually for the sake of revenge, and that all the criminals present had already been arrested, so that the government and others should quickly release the province and listen to the trial, so why did they break the law so that there was no way to question them; Deng Erheng left two servants inside, so that the murder should have been witnessed, and why did he not take a confession......”

"It's good that you don't mention the compromise, but if it weren't for the fact that you were involved in the compromise, I wouldn't have been, and I don't want to come all the way to visit your old man's home! Do you really think that the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were all cerebral palsy and brain-dead? A few mountain bandits and spear thieves colluded with a few small minions in the camp, and they dared to send a Xinjiang official and a second-rank senior official in your prefect's mansion and a partial court, not only seeking money, but also killing people? Not to mention the truth of this case and what it has to do with you, it will be difficult for you to escape the sin of dereliction of duty just by investigating the murder of an important minister of the imperial court on your ground. Shen Tianpeng accused with great dissatisfaction.

"If everyone is looking for trouble, I forgive this official for being busy with official business and have no time to accompany him. As for judging the merits and demerits of the officials, or praising or punishing, or rewarding and punishing, they have their own governors' yamen and officials to study them, and they don't bother to bother. I would like to advise all of you: This is the boundary of Yunnan, nosy people, this official has seen a lot, most of them walk in, lie down and go out, there are several, or the coffin money of the palace cushion!

Before the words of the Tang prefect fell, outside the yamen, more than a dozen people with sticks and soaps immediately flocked in.

Shen Tianpeng couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Take it!"

Yue Haikun and Yan Wanli flew out almost at the same time when they heard the sound, like a hungry tiger pounced on a sheep, and the thief captured the king first, and pressed the Tang prefect on the hall at once, and then with a force, he threw the Tang prefect from the hall to the hall. In order to stop him from talking and moving, while throwing it out, Yue Haikun casually clicked on his Tiantu acupoint, the three yin acupoints, which made him angry for a while, but helpless: even if he couldn't make a sound, he couldn't move. In addition to being dumbfounded, he could only let it go, crawling on the ground, unable to get up.

"Lord Shen of the Criminal Department has been ordered to come here to handle the case, and those who dare to obstruct it will be beheaded immediately! The prefect has already pleaded guilty and climbed down, but you still don't kneel?" Your Excellency, please sit down!" Yue Haikun said sharply.

The soap under the hall was shocked by the momentum of Shen Tianpeng, Yue Haikun and others, and saw that the prefect was "obedient and speechless", so they put down the killing stick together and knelt on both sides.

In the public court, Shen Tianpeng, who was sitting behind the public court case, asked Yan Wanli next to him: "Lord Yan, you are familiar with the place, do you know who in this government is up to the task?"

"According to the understanding of the lower officials on weekdays, the government of this government sentenced Yuan Zhenglun, but it is still above board. Yan Wanli replied.

"Who is the leader of the class?" Shen Tianpeng asked the soap again.

"The villain is. One of them replied. This person was born with a tiger's back and a bear's waist, kneeling in the crowd, like standing out from the crowd. When Shen Tianpeng and his eyes inadvertently looked at each other, they felt a little gloomy and gloomy, and they were aura. Shen Tianpeng said in his heart: "This person's martial arts are not weak, and he is by no means an idle person. Unexpectedly, on the ground in Yunnan, a random prefect's yamen, a group of ordinary soaps, actually hid dragons and crouching tigers. But at this time, Shen Tianpeng had no time to take care of anything else.

"Where is Yuan Tong's sentence now?" Shen Tianpeng asked.

"I've been recuperating at home for months due to illness. The head of the squad replied.

Yan Wanli added: "My subordinates once heard that he was often ostracized and reprimanded because he was unwilling to be in the same stream as Tang Jian, so he was disheartened and had no intention of pursuing a career. ”

"There is Lord Lao Yue who asked him to lead the way, be sure to bring Yuan Tongju, I have something to say. ”

After a while, Yuan Tongju came to the lobby of the mansion and saw the Tang prefect and a dry soap kneeling under the hall, he was surprised and relieved, and said secretly: "Retribution has arrived?!" You're waiting for this day!"

"Xiaguan see Lord Shen! I have seen all the adults! I really don't know how many adults have arrived today, and they have missed the distance, and I hope to beg for forgiveness!" Yuan Tong was sentenced to salute according to the rules of officialdom.

"Don't be polite, I think Lord Yue has briefly introduced to you on the way here what kind of business we are doing, don't talk about it, you and Lord Yan will talk with me in the back hall. Lord Yue, Lord Zhang, and watch them, and not let anyone go. Shen Tianpeng commanded.
