As Shen Lie led Dongchang's team and escorted the limping Yangzhou Juzi along the street, a commotion soon arose in the streets and alleys.
The people from Dongchang actually arrested a Juren master!
This scene is really fresh.
So pedestrians on both sides of the road stopped one after another, pointing at Dongchang's fanzi and the move, and talking about it.
Some older people began to reminisce about history and recalled the scenery of the Jiajing period, the Dongchang of that era...
It was once so majestic.
In the blink of an eye.
Time flies and more than twenty years have passed.
The team walked slowly along the long street.
The Yangzhou Juzi still had footprints on his face, and he raised his arms and shouted: "Here comes... Dongchang has arrested someone... to frame Zhongliang..."
But no one paid any attention to him.
Instead, it got more pointing fingers.
As long as any pedestrian, diner, peddler or lackey, or any honest common man who is full of food and opposes the imperial court, the common people will naturally watch the excitement.
After seeing this move for a while, no one paid attention to it. I knew that when I got to the Dongchang Yamen, I would inevitably have to peel off my skin, so I became a little anxious.
Taking advantage of the escort team not paying attention.
Suddenly, he used all his strength to bump into Wang Hu who was walking in front.
Wang Hu was caught off guard and was hit in the face. He staggered, touched his nose and let out a cry of pain: "Ouch!"
Screaming in pain.
Nosebleeds and tears all came down.
Wang Hu was furious, calmed down, wiped the nosebleed, took off the sheathed waist knife, and smashed it hard, knocking the sword to the ground, and let the gangsters drag it away like a dead dog.
"How dare you resist arrest!"
Wang Hu wiped his nosebleed while cursing: "You are against me!"
Onlookers from both sides of the street saw it.
There was an uproar immediately.
"This is too courageous!"
"Is it something about scholars... I can't tell you."
"So what if you are a scholar? Scholars must also abide by the law!"
Shen Lie just stood at the end of the team, watching with cold eyes, his hands behind his back. Some of the people in the crowd were afraid, some were excited, and most of them were gloating about the misfortune.
Do scholars win people's hearts?
Does Shilin Qingyi really represent public opinion?
This matter.
This is really a question mark.
However, there are state laws and family rules. Even if you are a scholar or a top scholar, you cannot resist arrest in the street.
It must be that this master is walking around at home, and the maids and servants are used to it. No one dares to provoke him in the countryside, and he is used to being arrogant in this place in the capital.
During the conversation.
The gangsters beat and kicked him again, dragging Juren through the cheap shop like a dog to death.
It's even more lively now.
The fierce crowd swarmed out of the ordering hall, and Miss Bai, Yun'er, and Tian Hong, who were calculating the abacus, came out one after another.
Looking at Shen Lie, Wang Hu, and Dongchang’s team...
Shen Lie actually had the leisure and elegance to wave to them.
Smile slightly.
To establish prestige?
He didn't dare to catch the real censor, let alone beat him, so he could only exchange a few words, but this unsightly move hit him on his own.
Shen Lie naturally wanted to take action on this person.
He looked around.
I think this guy’s head looks square and square, like a lump of elm wood. It’s neither big nor small, so it’s just right for cutting!
In chaos.
Tian Hong and Mrs. Bai were frightened when they saw how they were caught.
A shiver.
Tian Hong hurriedly stepped forward, his face turned pale, and he urged in a trembling voice: "Brother... let him go quickly... This is absolutely impossible!"
Bai Zhenzhen was also shocked. She looked at Shen Lie with widened eyes and covered her red mouth in fear. She felt that Shen Lie must be crazy.
But Shen Lie remained silent.
But those clear eyes shone with an indescribable and unexplainable cold light.
a long time.
Shen Liecai said quietly: "I know it in my heart."
In chaos.
Tian Hong couldn't persuade him any more, and just sighed softly. It seemed that another big storm was about to happen, and Shen Lie was the one who started this storm.
Tian Hong suddenly felt that this wise brother who was a chef was a bit strange.
the next day.
early morning.
Just like yesterday, Dongchang's patrol team marched on the pier with neat steps along the same route, under the pointing fingers of the viewers.
Announced the strong return of imperial power!
When Shen Lie once again rode his horse and led the team into the water gate of Tongzhou Pier, the atmosphere around him was indeed solemn, and no one dared to stop him.
The water transport troops, tax collectors, and handymen all hurriedly moved out of the way, allowing Dongchang's team to enter the customs customs smoothly.
not far away.
The censor and the patrol censor also turned their faces away, pretending not to see.
"look!"
Shen Lie straightened up on the horse, looked at the two censors and sneered: "Are you humble or not? How can I do this without establishing my authority?"
If you don't take advantage of the scholars and kill a few adults, why don't you think you have thousands of households?
Shen Lie still has this awareness.
Wang Hu said: "Your Excellency is wise!"
But Wang Hu hesitated to speak. He felt frightened...
That's the censor!
And will scholars let it go if they suffer a loss?
Of course not.
He felt that something big was going to happen soon.
But Shen Lie ignored him. After entering the pier, he got off his horse, handed the horse to his entourage, walked to the customs customs, and then pulled a chair carelessly.
I straightened my bullfighting uniform and went to the customs gate.
immediately.
The tax collector, the master, and the accountant trembled a little, then nodded and bowed and smiled in apology, speaking like an adult from a thousand households, his expression was really docile.
This man dared to quarrel with the censor, and he even dared to arrest people from Yangzhou. The adults were so frightened that they hid.
How dare you mess with a few tax collectors?
"Quick, quick, let's serve tea!"
Not long after.
A pot of crude tea was brought up.
The tax collector wiped his sweat.
Quickly pour a bowl for Mr. Qianhu.
Shen Lie didn't mind it either. He rolled up the gorgeous sleeves of his bullfighting uniform, picked up the thick tea bowl and drank it down.
Then with burning eyes, he looked at the pile of tax customs account books stacked on the table. What was recorded in this account book was naturally the detailed account of the canal customs tax.
When Shen Lie looked at the pile of account books.
In an instant.
The tax collectors, accountants, masters, and people in the governor's office seemed to have their acupuncture points tapped by martial arts masters. Their bodies froze, and their faces involuntarily became stiff.
For a while.
I don’t know how many worried eyes fell on this Dongchang Thousand Household Master and the pile of account books that related to his wealth and life.
At this moment.
The entire time at Tongzhou Customs seemed to have stopped until Shen Lie remained calm and turned his clear eyes away from the account book.
A moment.
Everyone seemed to be relieved.
Shen Lie pretended not to know, and just squinted his eyes to look at the densely packed canal with numerous ships, large and small, that could not be seen to the end.
So far.
The anxious hearts of the tax collectors and officials had just calmed down.
But soon!
Shen Lie's burning gaze fell on the canal again, and looked at the heavy waterline of the several oversized official ships.
