The disciple behind him took a step forward and put the letter of appointment in front of the guard in Jinyi. After he saw it clearly, he put it away and stood behind Lu Bai again.
The guard in Jinyi was full of doubts, and after looking at Lu Bai again, he saluted, "I have met the Governor of Zhenfu."
The tone cannot be said to be very respectful.
The power of Fusi in North Town is greater than that of Fusi in South Town, and Fusi in South Town is full of people who have retired or been demoted from Jinyiwei. Therefore, in Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei of North Town Fusi generally look down on the Jinyiwei of South Town Fusi.
Not to mention the royal guards.
He said: "My father is Nie Wenyuan, a member of Qianhu Qianhu, a royal guard in the capital city."
There is no other meaning in saying this, it is just to tell Lu Bai that there is someone behind him, be polite to him and don't put on official airs here.
"Oh." Lu Bai responded calmly, "Your Majesty is my brother."
"Well--"
The people in the Jinyi Guardhouse were stunned and had nothing to say for a moment.
Gu Qinghuan's thoughts were also flashed. After calculating the relationship, he couldn't help but roll his eyes at Lu Bai. This relative was very impressive.
The emperor's relatives were not indiscriminate, especially brothers. Jinyi Weishe felt that Lu Bai, as the governor, would not talk nonsense, so he believed it.
He even felt that Lu Bai's ability to become the governor of the town at such a young age was inseparable from this relationship. After all, Nanzhen's Fusi was an idle yamen, and the link between realm and position was not so important.
Whenever people are crammed into it, the superiors always turn a blind eye, let alone the emperor who crams people in.
In fact, border towns like Yancheng still abide by the rule that the level of the Jinyiwei is linked to the position. In the capital, people have long invented many ways to exploit loopholes, so that people can sit in high positions even if their level is not high.
For example, when you leave someone behind.
He is not a very high-level person, but the high-level Jin Yiwei behind him still have to obey him obediently.
Who told him to have a Qianhu father?
While thinking about these messy things, the guard in Jinyi saluted again, this time more respectfully.
Lu Bai ignored it, but pointed at the woman he took advantage of. "What happened to her? Did she commit a crime?"
The woman had just taken advantage of the housekeeper to salute Lu Bai and tried to escape, but was caught by the housekeeper again.
The guard in Jinyi nodded, "She stole my money——"
"Nonsense! I deserve this money!" the woman shouted.
"Stop talking nonsense. If you say one more thing, I'll kill you!" The guard in Jinyi strangled her throat again. After threatening her, he wanted to hand her over to the guard in Jinyi behind.
"Wait!"
Lu Bai stopped him, "Why don't I believe a weak woman stole Jin Yiwei's money? Let her explain."
The woman was disappointed.
After all, all officials have this kind of virtue, and officials protect each other.
But listening to Lu Bai's tone——
The woman shouted: "My lord, I was wronged! My lord, I really deserve this money, I didn't steal it!"
"shut up!"
The guard in Jinyi stopped her again, turned around and smiled at Lu Bai, "Sir, I won't bother you with such trivial matters."
Lu Bai waved his hand, "No trouble."
The Jinyi Guardsman now knew that Lu Bai was determined to interfere with his affairs, so he couldn't help but said in a more serious tone, "Sir, arrest people for interrogation. This is the job of our Beizhen Fusi, right?
I have no right to interfere."
Lu Bai looked calm, "You are right, but Nanzhen Fusi is responsible for supervising the laws and disciplines of the Jinyi Guards and military disciplines. Now I suspect that you have violated laws and disciplines, so I want to ask, okay?"
"You——" The face of the guard in Jinyi darkened.
The woman ignored this. Seeing Lu Bai and the guard in Jinyi confronting each other, she realized that there was a way out of the situation.
"Sir, I am really unjust!" She jumped behind Toneri.
Those Jin Yiwei subordinates wanted to pull him away, but Lu Bai stopped him, "Bring her over and let her speak."
"this……"
The royal guards hesitated and looked at Shiren.
Click!
The imperial guards behind Lu Bai took a step forward, and they tended to take advantage of others if they disagreed.
Lu Bai was very satisfied.
These are the men he promoted and trained, and they are absolutely loyal.
He was silent.
His men no longer stopped the woman, and the woman took the opportunity to approach Lu Bai, "Sir, I was wronged——"
Lu Bai stopped her, "Tell me, why were you wrongly accused? You didn't steal his money?"
The woman was stunned for a moment and said, "I'm not stealing, I'm taking."
Then, without waiting for Lu Bai to ask questions, she started talking nonstop.
Her family was a craftsman, and they were transferred to the capital three years ago to build a palace for the emperor. The craftsmen's work was equivalent to military service, and they were not paid. The court would only give them some salt and grain at most.
However, they don't work long hours. They work three shifts a month for ten days. During the rest of the time, they can support their families with their crafts.
No, they had a tight deadline this time, heavy tasks, no reincarnation, and gained nothing after three years of work.
Even for the salt and grain, it will not be settled until the project is completed, and the project is still far away.
"This palace has just been built, that palace is on fire, that palace is not repaired, and another palace is on fire." The woman sighed, feeling worried for her husband as she spoke.
There was no time to finish the work, and they were beaten and scolded by officials and foremen, so the craftsmen fled together as soon as they gathered together.
Her family's house is also inside.
However, the escape of the craftsmen made it even more difficult to complete the construction period. The Holy Emperor was furious and sent Jin Yiwei down to investigate severely.
This Sheren is the leader of the Jinyiwei who is responsible for chasing the fugitive craftsmen in this area.
According to the law, after a fugitive craftsman is caught, he will be punished with eighty sticks and can be redeemed at a discount, that is, after spending twenty or thirty taels of silver, he will be exempted from the beating. After being beaten or after paying the money, these craftsmen and their families will also be beaten.
He was escorted back to the capital to continue working.
The pursuing Jin Yiwei also had a right in this regard, that is, he could not take his family to the capital.
That woman definitely doesn’t want to go to the capital. She doesn’t have any money here. How can she not end up on the streets when she gets to the capital?
"As long as there is money, who's man will be a fugitive?" The more the woman talked, the more aggrieved she became, and she simply sat on the ground and cried, "The damn Jin Yiwei, after catching my husband, said he would let me sleep with him.
I feel that my man's punishment with the rod and our trip to the capital will be spared."
Then--
"He slept with me for three nights." The woman opened the bag. "One night is exempt from the punishment of the rod, and one night is exempted from the capital. I admit it. This is an extra night. Sir, you say, I will use his little money.
Is it too much?"
Lu Bai was silently asking the sky.
Just a moment ago, it was still a sad scene with no regard for human life, but the style of the painting changed all of a sudden.
The woman urged Lu Bai to take a good look.
Only then did Lu Bai wake up and look around. There were some silver chopsticks and silver bowls in the bag. Although they were all silverware, they only amounted to twenty taels.
Lu Bai nodded, "It's not too much."
According to the agreement of giving away twenty taels of silver for one night, taking away twenty taels of silver on the third night is not excessive.
The guard in Jinyi said coldly next to him: "Taking something without reporting it is considered stealing."
Lu Bai nodded again, "That's right, you told him you took it?"
"I can't take it away if I tell him, and he won't give it to me!" The woman felt very innocent, and thought Lu Bai was a jerk, "I can't beat him, do you think he would if I told him I wanted to take the money?"
Give me?"
Lu Bai asked the guard in Jinyi, "Will you give it to her?"
Jinyi Weisheren said, "I definitely won't give it. Why, she's not worth it -"
"Ahem."
The guard in Jinyi quickly changed his words, "Sir, she was blackmailing us. We were both willing at the time."
"Oh shit, it's just a thing as thick as your little finger, no one would be willing to do it with you." The woman said unceremoniously.
Lu Bai was messy again.
He somewhat admired this woman, she was truly a hero among women.
"You talk nonsense, you don't have a big little finger, if you continue to slander me, I won't be polite!" said the guard in Jinyi angrily.
With Lu Bai's backing, the woman was brave enough to act out, "Okay, is it an insult? Take it off!"
"Okay, okay." Lu Bai stopped them.
After all, he is also a Jinyiwei. If he continues to make such a scene on the dock, what is his reputation?
Lu Bai is also a Jin Yiwei. He has to consider not only these people but also his own reputation.
"This case——"
Lu Bai looked at the guard in Jinyi, "What do you have to say?"
The guard in Jinyi said without hesitation: "Slander! Naked slander! Sir, it was obviously him who seduced me and tried to avoid her husband's punishment, but I just made the same mistake as any man! She didn't redeem the money, so I
His husband was not exempted from the punishment of the rod at all!"
"Shameless, you are so shameless!"
The woman bowed her hand to him and said, "It's already shameless for me to act as a trap behind my man's back, and it's even more shameless for you!"
She blocked the secret door. In order to make ends meet at that time, she made great determination and risked her life.
Now the people in the Jinyi Guardhouse are so straightforward, and the woman admires them.
The guard in Jinyi was angry, "I have the emperor's command to hunt down the craftsmen, which is equivalent to an imperial envoy. If you are slandering me, you are slandering the Holy One. Be careful with me——"
Gu Qinghuan stood up and asked, "Where are the craftsmen who were arrested?"
The Jinyi guardsmen were stunned for a moment, guessing that by asking this, Gu Qinghuan was probably trying to find out if he had really slept with the woman from the craftsman's household, and then spared them the punishment of the cane.
This is of course false.
He was still very moral, even sleeping with their women was not punished.
In order to prevent Lu Bai from finding out, the guard in Jinyi said: "The construction schedule in the palace is tight, so I asked my subordinates to escort them back to the capital first."
This excuse is perfect.
However, Gu Qinghuan smiled slightly and said, "You hold a driving certificate, not an imperial edict. Your authority is written on the driving certificate. Therefore, although you are an imperial envoy, you are only responsible for hunting down fugitives, and -"
Gu Qinghuan glanced at the woman, "According to the law, the punishment of the cane is a punishment for escapees. The punishment must be carried out by the local magistrate, and the money redeemed must also be put into the stolen goods treasury in the Yamen——"
Gu Qinghuan was afraid that Lu Bai wouldn't know, so he said: "It's the stolen goods, and the warehouse where the fine money should go."
When the people in the Jinyi Guardhouse heard this, they became panicked.
There really is such a rule.
But the people above came down to fight in the autumn wind, so they must have gotten a good deal by collecting money from the fugitive craftsmen themselves, and the local officials did not dare to offend the imperial guards in the capital and generally remained silent. So over time, he got used to it and forgot this rule.
Lu Bai looked at Gu Qinghuan with admiration.
He didn't even know this law existed.
Having Miss Gu Si saves a lot of trouble. If he handled the case alone, he would probably have to spend a lot of time investigating.
He said happily: "Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, sharen, you have broken the law."
"I--"
Jinyi Weishe wanted to change his mind.
Gu Qinghuan said: "After you sent the craftsman away, you will find out if you have been punished with a stick and if any money has been put into the treasury."
She said to Lu Bai: "He is corrupt and perverting the law. We can capture him first and investigate later."
Gu Qinghuan estimated that based on the woman's accusation, this person had committed a lot of crimes.
Lu Bai nodded, "That makes sense."
He waved his hand and said, "Here, take off his Feiyu suit, untie his Xiuchun knife, and take them all into custody. Let's go to the Yamen to collect evidence."
"yes!"
The Jin Yiwei behind Lu Bai didn't say a word, didn't hesitate at all, and took a step forward to take action.
"you dare!"
The Jinyi Guardsman held the handle of the knife and said angrily: "My father is a member of the Jinyi Guards of Qianhu in the capital!"
His affairs cannot be investigated.
To check, just pull up the radish and bring up the mud.
Lu Bai didn't answer.
The Jin Yiwei under him did not hesitate and went to remove his sword without hesitation.
"Your Nanzhen Fusi Tai——"
The Jinyi guard punched Lu Bai's outstretched hand and said at the same time.
boom!
He didn't hit Lu Bai's men, and his words stopped abruptly, because——
A shadow suddenly flashed and punched him in the chest. Then both he and the shadow flashed away. When they reappeared, the person was already far away, approaching the city wall and exiting.
boom!
Lu Bai punched him against the city wall, and he got stuck in the groove of the claw marks.
"——Too arrogant."
The man in the Jinyi guardhouse was stunned and frightened, and the words that had just reached his throat flowed out unconsciously and could not be taken back.
"It's okay to be arrogant! I am the envoy of Fusi Town in Nanzhen, and I am here with a sword, intending to kill all the injustices in the world!" After Lu Bai said this, he grabbed him and dodged, landed in front of the city gate, and then pushed him
release.
The guard in Jinyi collapsed on the ground, not daring to move.
At that moment, he seemed to see death.
His men did not dare to resist anymore and were escorted over by Lu Bai's men obediently.
Gu Qinghuan led others over.
The woman followed Gu Qinghuan, stunned from ear to ear.
Gu Qinghuan asked her: "Do you know if there are other craftsmen's wives and daughters who were raped by him just like you?"
The woman was still looking at Lu Bai. It was so amazing. He appeared and disappeared. Is this Xian'er?
Gu Qinghuan asked again,
The woman finally came to her senses and said, "Yes, yes, I know a few of them. This beast is particularly fond of little girls. He often talks about how the beautiful girl is in love with her at the age of fourteen, and she is so miserable by the strong wind. It's not serious when you hear it. I tell you."
Oh, if it weren’t for my mother--I squeezed him with all my strength for three days, he might have done harm to the little girl."
This woman took the credit and sounded quite proud.
However, after hearing this, Gu Qinghuan frowned and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
"In the past few days, he has been thinking about a girl from a craftsman's household. This craftsman's surname is Zhang. She is a carpenter. He has a daughter. She is pretty, with eyebrows and an almond-shaped face, a slender waist, and a natural charm. If this girl
She went to the Qinhuai River, and the Qing herdsmen dared not tell her, but the red shepherds would still take it." The woman became more and more enthusiastic as she spoke.
Yun Niang asked coldly from behind, "Are you still a mother?"
The woman waved her hands hurriedly, "Let me tell you, I won't give birth to a child without an asshole."
But it would be right to say that the carpenter's daughter is as beautiful as a flower.
This guy is trying to figure out this girl.
He wanted to take this beautiful woman like a flower as a concubine. To achieve his goal, he tied up Carpenter Zhang, but instead of sending him to the capital, he locked him up and starved his father.
