The county lieutenant took out the documents and explained his identity to the local chiefs. It turned out that this person's surname was Zhao Mingjie. He was a county lieutenant who had just been transferred to the local area. He had traveled all the way to take office, but unexpectedly he lost his official seal in this store.
Ding Yuluo stood aside and asked Feng Da Zhang Pen that it would take a day to drive from here to the Linqing County Yamen and back again, even if it was a fast horse. If he waited for the county master to order all the three squadrons of Yamen servants to arrest him, he would be able to do it.
It took more than three days and two nights to get here. How could she afford to wait?
Seeing that County Lieutenant Zhao had people surrounding the entire inn, she discussed it with Liu Shiyi, Chen Feng, Yang Ye, Li Shouyin and other stewards, and found out how successful these people were in dealing with some country officials.
The formal officials of the imperial court were timid at first and could not come up with any good ideas. In desperation, Ding Yuluo took out a five hundred taels of silver note and rushed to see Zhao Jie and County Lieutenant Zhao.
County Lieutenant Zhao summoned the townspeople and asked them to search the rooms one by one. They were so meticulous that they were not allowed to let go of even a cockroach. He gritted his teeth and puffed out his cheeks and sat in the guest room to get his luck. When he heard that Ding Yuluo
See, I didn't know her intention for a while, so I asked someone to let her in.
Ding Yuluo met Zhao County Lieutenant, hurriedly stepped forward to greet him with fists in his hands, and said respectfully: "Master County Lieutenant, I am a member of Ding's family in Bazhou. The purpose of escorting the grain to Guangyuan this time is for military rations. What happened?"
It is very important. I can guarantee that the Ding family will not be involved in the matter of your lord losing your seal. The Ding family sells military rations in order to serve the imperial court. I ask you to be considerate of me and allow my Ding family’s carriage to go on the road.
I am willing to use Bazhou Ding's property as a guarantee, and at the same time leave someone here to listen to your inquiry until the truth of the case is revealed." He said and quietly handed over a banknote.
Zhao Jie lost his seal and saw that he could not even become a county captain. At this moment, he looked like everyone was a thief. How could he give up? He sneered and said: "Are you using the Guangyuan Army to suppress me? He Guangyuan
No matter how big the army is, it can't control the head of Linqing County Lieutenant. I have heard of the Ding family in Bazhou. If it is an ordinary matter, it is okay for me to sell you to help you, but I have lost my official seal.
, my future is not guaranteed, and now I have too much time to take care of myself. Do you want me to let you go? I can't find this seal for a moment, so no one can leave, and there is no discussion."
Ding Yuluo begged again and again, and the upset County Lieutenant Zhao became irritable, slapped the table and shouted: "The Ding family has great wealth, why do you let a woman transport grain? I see you disguise yourself as a man, and threaten all these strong men to go with you, so
You are very suspicious. If you continue to make noise, the county lieutenant will seize your grain truck and put you in jail. I will release you when the investigation is clear!"
Ding Yuluo had no choice but to retreat. Seeing the expectant looks in the eyes of Liu Shiyi and other deacons, Ding Yuluo shook his head sadly. At this time, the town's Minzhuang was searching house to house in the back, and those who had been searched were waiting in the restaurant.
After hearing the news, the restaurant became quiet. After a while, the manager of Changfeng Tavern came out with a sad face. Everyone asked quickly: "Shopkeeper Qiu, have you found anything?"
Qiu Laoshi shook his head and sighed: "Not yet, the search is still going on. Mr. Zhao's face is so scary that the little old man dare not stay back. Listening to Mr. Zhao's tone, he must wait until the official official comes.
The case has been fully investigated."
The peach-eyed young man on the seat next to him was eating steamed buns. When he heard the voice, he said in a weird voice: "They say you are honest and honest, but I don't think so. If it means delaying the trip, everyone here is worried, and you are the only shop owner. That's not the case."
What I want to do, look, look, this plate of steamed buns is as expensive as the four dishes last night, you really raised the price just in time."
Qiu Laoshi's face turned red and he stammered in explanation: "Prince Bi, you have really wronged me. Last night, thousands of people moved into the town and ate up all the meat and vegetables stored in the shop.
, there is really nothing else this morning, just this steamed buns, steamed in drawers and drawers, but still can't be supplied, this and this... raising the price is a helpless move."
At this time, the young man in the green cotton robe couldn't hold back his anger. He slapped the table, stood up and said, "It's unreasonable. Being an official for one term and serving as a pastor should benefit the people. But he is a county captain.
He has not yet taken office, but he is acting like an official. He, a little county captain, has lost his official seal, and everyone in the inn has to wait here? If he can't find the official seal for a day, I will have to wait here for a whole day.
, if I can't find her in my lifetime, will I still marry a wife and have children here?" After saying this, he stood up and started to leave the shop.
As soon as he arrived at the door of the store, two minzhuangs holding spears stopped at the door and shouted coldly: "Stop, by the order of the county captain, no one is allowed to leave until the official seal is found!"
"Go away!" The man in the green cotton robe raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "This young master is Mr. Qin Yiyun of the Qin family in Taiyuan. No matter where in the northwest, I can come and leave whenever I want.
Let’s go, who dares to stop me?”
Everyone here who has traveled far away knows the Qin family in Taiyuan. As soon as they heard that he was the son of the Qin family, there was a commotion in the tavern, but when they took a closer look at his dress, everyone showed disapproval. The wealthy Qin family in Taiyuan
Compared to a prince, how could the Qin family be so shabby when going out? How could he not even take a servant with him?
The head of the household who held the door looked at him in surprise and sneered again and again, obviously not believing what he said. The two argued at the door. Ding Hao looked on coldly and asked Feng Dazhangbian in a low voice: "Old man, the Qin family in Taiyuan
Is it very powerful?"
Feng Da Zhang whip said: "That's natural. The Qin family in Taiyuan Prefecture, the Li family in Guangyuan Prefecture, the Zhe family and the Tang family in Pingyuan Prefecture are the four major aristocratic families in the northwest. The Qin family ranks third among the four major aristocratic families.
Third, his main business is horse trading, he is as rich as the enemy, and his friends are all first-rate princes, generals and ministers. If this person is really the son of the Qin family, even the governor of Bazhou will have to treat the guest respectfully when he meets him, but...
Judging from his appearance, this lie is really too big."
After hearing this, Ding Hao turned to look at Mr. Qin, who called himself Qin Yiyun, with thoughts in his eyes.
At this time, Mr. Qin had already quarreled with the head of the household at the door. The head of the household was angry and asked two people to come forward to take the person. Qin Yiyun sneered, and suddenly took a step back and took out two young men from under his robe.
The broom came, his hands flew up, and the two little brooms danced like windmills. In a few seconds, they rushed into the gun formation of the two men. With a short body, the little broom hit the two people's shins hard, causing pain.
They screamed and fell to the ground.
Mr. Qin stood up again, jumped up neatly, regained his momentum, flipped his wrist, and "swiped" two small brooms under his ribs, and stood proudly. His posture and movements made Ding Hao both look at him.
The eyes kept saying: That's incredible. If this Mr. Qin keeps saying "baaaaah" a few more times, it will be like the reincarnation of Bruce Lee.
It turns out that the small broomstick used by Mr. Qin is a nunchaku. The nunchaku is a common name among the people in the northwest. The official official name at that time was Panlonggun. There were two types of big and small broomsticks. The big broomstick was called Dapanlonggun, and the small broomstick was called small.
Panlong stick, but at this time, the Panlong stick was not as long as the later nunchucks, but one was slightly longer and the other was slightly shorter.
This weapon was created by Zhao Kuangyin, the current emperor of the Song Dynasty, who had just reigned for less than ten years. Since he became the emperor, his original weapon Panlong Staff and his set of boxing skills have become popular in the world, and many young people
When people practice martial arts, they must practice Zhao's Changquan and Coiling Dragon Staff, but there are not many people who can practice it as well as this person.
As soon as he saw that his men had suffered a heavy loss, the head of the household whistled, and seven or eight more strong men immediately came to the door. The first few were holding spears, and the back ones were holding bows and arrows. The folk customs in the northwest region are fierce, and young and strong people
They were practicing martial arts. If they were to shoot arrows at such a close distance, Mr. Qin would not be able to avoid them. When he saw this situation, he immediately froze there and was in a dilemma.
Five spears took the opportunity to stab him and surrounded him. Then the head of the household stepped forward and handed over his broom. After hearing the news, County Lieutenant Zhao came out from behind. He didn't believe Qin Yiyun's self-reported identity at all, so he just sneered:
"You are in a hurry to leave and you have a murder weapon with you. This is the most suspicious thing. Let me arrest him. I will interrogate him personally."
The furious Mr. Qin was tied up and taken down by several powerful people. County Lieutenant Zhao looked at the people sitting in the tavern and said: "You guys, it's best to give yourself to me. Anyone who doesn't know how to do it is a criminal."
In the hands of this official, I will make it difficult for him to walk around! The people's hearts are as strong as iron, and the official law is as strong as furnace. Once you are put on the record, I will make it difficult for you to move forward from now on!" After that, he strode out.
Ding Yuluo sat at the table, looked at the deacons who had no master, and said to himself desperately: "What should I do? What should I do? Dad entrusted me with such a big thing, but I... unexpectedly got into this
If you delay any longer, the Ding family... the Ding family will be destroyed by me..." As he said this, two lines of pure tears rolled down his eyes.
At another table, the handsome young man with peach blossom eyes smiled bitterly and said: "It's just the Chinese New Year that such an unlucky thing happened to me. It seems that I have to make plans to live here for a long time. Look at this room.
With such a bitter face, how can I still have the appetite to eat?"
He stood up, picked up the plate of steamed buns, and said in a loud voice: "Waiter, bring a pot of tea to my room."
"Sit down, where are you going? We haven't finished checking the backyard yet," one of the people yelled, and the man had no choice but to sit back down.
Ding Hao calmly observed the people in the restaurant. When he saw this, his eyes flashed slightly. He was about to turn around and say something. Suddenly he saw Ding Yu shedding tears. He couldn't help being startled. Just as he was about to speak, Ding Yu had already fallen.
Gritting his teeth and standing up, Ding Hao quickly stood up and asked: "Miss, where are you going?"
"I'll go see Lieutenant Zhao again."
"Miss, the official seal is related to County Captain Zhao's future as an official. Are you sure you can convince him to let the thousands of members of our Ding family leave first?"
"I...I..." Ding Yu hesitated for a long time, then suddenly her legs went weak and she fell back on the stool.
Ding Hao stared at her desperate face and suddenly said: "Miss, why don't you let me go see him!"
"You?" Ding Yuluo, Liu Shiyi, Li Shouyin and others all raised their heads and looked at Ding Hao in surprise. Feng Da Zhangbian and Xi Zhu'er were even more shocked, Xi Zhu'er quietly tugged on his clothes, Xiao
He said in a voice: "Dumb, that...that's the county captain, not even the eldest lady, so what's the use of you? If you piss him off, you'll get slapped..."
Feng Da Zhang Whip also said: "Xiao Ding, I'm afraid it won't help if you go, so don't push yourself. Now I just hope that Mr. Qin is really the thief who stole the official seal, then we won't waste much time..."
Ding Hao shook his head and smiled softly: "The problem is that 90% of the time Mr. Qin is the real Mr. Qin. If we do nothing and just keep waiting, we won't have to go back until the day when the truth comes out.
Guangyuan, it’s better to just go back to Bazhou and wait for death.”
After Ding Hao finished speaking, he straightened his clothes and walked calmly to the head of the household who was guarding the back door of the restaurant. He bowed his head slightly and said loudly: "I'd like to trouble the head of the household to inform the county captain and tell Ding Hao of Bazhou that I need to see you for something!"
