"You guys, this is what happened here. This shopkeeper Wang was originally my old brother, who ran a silk and satin shop alone. He was responsible for the theater and the inn being haunted some time ago. Today I caught him and executed him.
The family law is to cut off five of his fingers."
As the sun rises, the outside of the theater building is still crowded with nearby people watching the excitement on the three floors inside and outside. Looking at several police officers coming from the yamen, the officer is talking to Li San, and the shopkeeper holding the broken palm is being
A government servant bandages a wound.
Everyone knew what kind of person Li San was, or they were still thinking about watching movies, eating and drinking for free for three days, so they all agreed and shouted.
"That's right, gentlemen, if you don't kill a man like this, you will be able to gain advantage."
"I would have beaten him to death with a stick."
Listening to the small voices of the people around him, the head catcher who was talking to Li San in the theater looked serious, nodded repeatedly, and then returned the favor with his hand.
"Mr. Li's words are serious. As long as the person is not dead, it will be easy to do anything if he is captured. Mr. Li will send the steward to the Yamen later to make a detailed written inspection and report."
Li San had some connections in Jiangcheng County, and he was considered a kind and decent person. The yamen still had to give him face, not to mention those who cheated on others and were not welcome wherever they went.
"Then I'll help you all." Li San finished one thing, smiled and took the catcher a few steps inside, turning his back on the eyes of the people outside, and asked the steward to bring two taels of money, "Captain,
This is for the brothers to eat and drink."
"Haha, it costs Mr. Li a lot of money. This little thing is nothing."
The catcher didn't refuse, he raised his hand, took the hanging money, and handed it to the two catchers behind him. Then he turned around and raised his hand and waved, with a solemn expression: "Take this shopkeeper Wang back."
When he arrived at the door, he straightened the saber on his waist and glanced at the people at the door: "The suspect has been arrested and brought back to prison. You don't need to gather around here to watch the excitement. They have dispersed and you can do whatever you have to do!"
"
The people around him were scolded a few words, but they were not angry and dispersed with laughter or smiles. The people from the yamen led the shopkeeper out of the crowd and went back to the yamen all the way. They first asked their detectives to take him to a side room for temporary detention.
I went to the side yard by myself, where my daily office is. Hanging on the side of the door frame are the names of each department.
When the arrester came over, he was a little surprised by how busy the civil servants and officers were coming and going. He pulled someone over to ask, and found out that a high-ranking official had come from the capital and was talking to the governor, the registrar and other officials.
"I'm often out waiting for the police, so the news is a bit slow..."
While he was talking, the clerk who was being held suddenly interrupted him, looked in the direction of the court, and whispered: "Captain, the chief clerk is here."
In the direction the clerk looked, an older man was coming over with a few official letters folded in his hand. He was a little surprised when he saw the arresting officer coming towards him. After asking, he found out that he was coming back from outside for business.
"What happened at Li's Theater?"
The news about the haunting in the past caused some headaches for several officials in the yamen. They sent people to investigate several times, but found nothing, so they ignored it. The other party was not an ordinary person, so it was not good to suppress it without saying anything.
Now that he knew that it was someone pretending to be a ghost, or the shopkeeper of the silk shop whom he knew, the bookkeeper couldn't help but sneered, "This kind of people will be thrown into prison directly after the bond is drawn. His family members want to come to have relations, even if they accept money, they will only be thrown into jail."
Don’t let it go!”
As he said that, he took a sling of money from the catcher without leaving any trace and stuffed it into his sleeve. At this moment, there were footsteps coming from behind. The chief clerk quickly glanced at the catcher, then he turned back to straighten his body and saw Fu Zun.
Accompanied by a figure wearing armor and a white robe, he came here.
"What did you just get?"
The figure in the white robe suddenly stopped in front of the two of them. His eyes squinted and fell on the cuff of the chief clerk. The palace official on the side walked to the middle and started to smooth things over. It was commonplace in the yamen to make money and get used to it.
.
But it would indeed be troublesome to be held accountable, especially if the general in front of him from the capital was not able to displease him. If he complained to the higher authorities, all of them would suffer.
"This...this...what's going on, please explain to General Chen quickly." Fu Zun tilted his head and blinked, signaling the two of them to round up.
"No."
The man with a serious face suddenly smiled and said: "You can take care of local matters yourself. As long as you are not committing adultery or violating laws or bullying men and women, I will not see you."
"No, no, no." The head catcher quickly said, "He was a man who cheated and cheated and got caught. This is what happened to the general."
After listening to the description, the general surnamed Chen said nothing. This matter was nothing. It was normal for martial arts masters to often walk among the people. Although he was a little curious about the so-called fourth son of the Li family and the teacher, he still focused on it after all.
Those at the top, who had finally won the opportunity to lead the army alone, could not let it go in vain. Although they were just escorting the Wei clan back, it was still a rare opportunity.
Therefore, I didn't want to waste too much energy on Jianghu's strange people. I thought about it and turned to look at Fu Zun who breathed a sigh of relief.
"Master Fu, I'll help you with the smooth roads in Jiangcheng County."
After saying that, the general surnamed Chen said goodbye and left the government office. He looked at the government office and couldn't help but sigh. He had to use local officials to accept bribes, so he could only turn a blind eye.
'What's so mysterious about Jianghu people...'
He shook his head and got on his horse. He couldn't see the rivers, lakes and green forests. On the contrary, he had an inexplicable liking for the people he saw under the eaves on the street today. He always felt that they looked familiar and he had seen them somewhere.
If you don't have military affairs, you can come over to supervise local officials, and you won't be able to make friends with them.
Horse hooves trampled on the hard soil of the street. After leaving the government office, we arrived at the bustling market. At this time, people gathered in twos and threes everywhere, and the same situation was almost the same in wine shops and teahouses.
"Go and find out what's going on?"
The soldier behind him nodded and went to look for a small circle. After questioning, he came back and found out that it was about the Li family theater. After all, there was such a lively scene nearby. As a conversation starter, the temperature was
It won't go down.
General Chen shook his head after hearing this.
"What did you think it was..."
He suddenly stopped talking and his eyes brightened. In front of his field of vision, a figure in wrinkled robes was walking around the market with a little Taoist boy. He was standing in front of a clay figurine stall and was letting the vendor make a few of them.
"Haha, I just thought of this person and happened to meet him."
The general surnamed Chen looked at the big one and the small one and laughed. He immediately got off his horse and handed the reins to his soldiers. He passed through several passers-by and strode towards the opposite side. He raised his hands and spoke in a hearty and heroic voice.
"This gentleman!"
Chen Yuan, who was talking to the stall owner, turned around when he heard Zhongzheng's words and saw that it was the general he had met this morning. He was a little surprised and returned the greeting.
"Do you and I know this general?"
"Sir, don't be surprised. When we first met, we had the idea of making friends." As he said that, the general took a step back and raised his hand again: "Chen Qingzhi!"
"Haha...my name is Chen Yuan."
The two looked at each other for a moment and laughed.
