When Zhong Chengen heard this stopping voice, his eyes immediately flashed with annoyance, and he also looked up at Wang Yuanwai.

Wang Yuanwai met his fierce gaze, but he was still calm, and arched his hand towards him: "This pearl is indeed not carried by them, this is the old man on the road to help people consign, everything has nothing to do with them!" ”

Although he knew that this would be troublesome, he was a man of integrity, so he naturally had to stand up and explain the cause of the matter, and he intended to take all the responsibility for it.

"Who are you?" Zhong Chengen looked deeply at this old man dressed as an outsider, but found that there was a kind of Confucianism in his demeanor, which may be a figure like a great Confucian.

"My name is Wang Jin, and I am temporarily living in Wuzhou Mansion!" Wang Yuanwai replied gently.

"What are you doing here?" Zhong Chengen had never heard of this person, and his hanging heart was also relaxed.

"I heard that Leizhou Mansion is open to the sea, and the old man wants to come over and do some business!" Wang Yuanwai replied calmly.

"You're from Lianzhou City?" Zhong Chengen's brows frowned slightly.

Although Gaozhou is also bordered by Wuzhou in Guangxi, it is the most convenient and safer route from Wuzhou to Lianzhou City, and then to Leizhou Mansion by Shicheng.

In the past, this trade route was rarely walked, and the main thing was Haibei Salt from Lianzhou City along the river to the north. It's just that now Leizhou City is full of business opportunities, and recently there are indeed Guangxi businessmen who have come from afar, and they are all from Lianzhou to Leizhou through Shicheng.

"Not bad!" Wang Yuanwai nodded with a straight face.

Zhong Chengen's brows frowned slightly, and he sorted out his thoughts a little, but asked again: "You said to help people consign!" These are new pearls, and did you know that stealing pearls is a felony? ”

When he said the last two words, he deliberately bit hard, emphasizing the seriousness of the matter. In fact, it is also the case, it is a capital crime to go to the sea, not to mention stealing the pearls used in the court, which is enough to cut off the head twice.

"The old man knows!" Wang Yuanwai's face nodded without fear, but then added: "It's just that this batch of pearls has nothing to do with the old man!" This is an old woman's words are warm clothes, and the old man will help bring them to his son, and this pearl is really owned by the old woman! ”

"Where's the old woman?" Zhong Chengsi asked in a deep voice.

"She said she lives in Dongtian Village!" Wang Yuanwai replied.

"To whom?" Zhong Chengen continued to interrogate again.

"Sunrise Teahouse Chen San!" Wang Yuanwai replied truthfully.

"General Ben is not an unreasonable person! What you say, General Ben will send someone to verify! Zhong Chengen looked up at everyone, and then changed his words and said: "It's just that everyone is suspicious, but General Ben can't be cautious!" Whoever came, escorted them all back to the yamen. ”

"Yes!" The soldiers below immediately received the order.

The county government in Shicheng is not big, and it is also a little dilapidated, and the appearance in front of the door is inferior to that of Haikang County, let alone compared with Leizhou Mansion, it is indeed a small yamen.

Gou Zhixian was hiding in the quilt of the back house and was lazy, and when he heard that the commander of Gao Zhouwei was coming, he also hurriedly ran out of the door with his master and the old master Bo to greet him.

Just watching the banner army escort a large number of people into the county government square, several people who were waiting here were dumbfounded.

"Commander, what's going on?" Gou Zhixian saw several familiar faces, and couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"They are involved in stealing pearls, and they will be used in the county prison for the time being!" Zhong Chengen, as a third-grade military general, did not take this small county in his eyes, and said in a commanding tone.

"Okay!" Gou Zhixian felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't dare to disobey his intentions. He knew that this commander was very powerful, and the imperial court seemed to have a backstage, and even the Tang prefect sold him a few thin noodles.

"Bring them in!" Zhong Chengen turned his head and waved his hand at his subordinates, and ordered at the general flag: "You lead people to guard the county prison, don't let them escape!" ”

"Obedience!" The general flag immediately saluted.

"Huh?"

Gou Zhixian suddenly saw the little figure of the tiger girl, and his eyes almost popped out. This is Lin Leigong's sister, and this commander was so bold that he actually captured the tiger girl.

Although he knew that this commander had some energy for Zhong Chengen, he didn't think that he had the ability to wrestle with Lin Leigong. After all, that is the prefect of the Hanlin Academy, and it is very likely that he will return to Beijing to serve in the future.

Even if this commander has great luck, he is only a general soldier at most. But Lin Leigong didn't say whether he would enter the cabinet to pay homage to the prime minister in the future, even if he only served in the military department, Zhong Chengen would be skinned, which was unwise.

Zhong Chengen didn't seem to see his surprise, and didn't seem to care about his future, perhaps because he felt that Lin Haoran had no future, and ordered: "General Ben is a little tired, you go and arrange it!" ”

"Okay! Commander, please! Gou Zhixian's demeanor is still respectful, but he has already weighed it again in his heart.

The layout of the yamen under the sky is very similar, this entrance is the compound, the left is the county prison, and the right is the Yin Hotel.

The tiger girl's fleshy face did not have the slightest fear, and her big bright eyes looked at everything here with interest, and walked towards the county government prison with her short legs.

"Da Biao, what kind of wind blew you here!"

But as soon as he walked into the gate of the county prison, a big man with a rough voice suddenly sounded.

This man is in his thirties, born with five big and three thick, thick eyebrows and big eyes, dark skin, and a very bold temperament. At this time, his face was flushed, apparently he had just drunk a little wine, and his beard was sticking to some pieces of meat.

It's just that as soon as the words fell, he saw the tiger girl who walked in, and he was even more puzzled.

"They are the felons of our Gaozhou Guard, the commander has confessed, and they must be taken care of, you will put them all in prison!" Zongqi walked in and commanded Lin Erhu directly.

"What's going on?" Lin Erhu's face immediately turned cold, and there was a strong killing intent on his body.

Before Lin Dabiao could speak, the general flag said viciously: "What's going on? This is the order of the commander, do you want to disobey the order of the commander? ”

"Fart Commander! Lao Tzu is not on an errand under him, you don't show off your power in front of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is scared! Lin Erhu watched a group of clansmen being locked in, and his stomach was already suppressing the fire, so he directly sprayed the fire on this general banner.

"You...... How dare you! Zongqi's face was foaming at the mouth, and there was a burst of anger at this time.

Lin Erhu didn't put it in his eyes, and pointed to his nose and said: "Lao Tzu is the cell boss here, this is Lao Tzu's territory, if you waste a word more, Lao Tzu will lock you up!" ”

Zongqi looked at his eyes that seemed to be eating people, and his throat moved a few times, but in the end he didn't dare to make a sound.

Although he was not afraid of the commander Zhong Chengen, Lin Erhu was not good at letting people go, and Gao Zhouwei's men and horses were outside the door, so he couldn't send everyone away safely.

"You guys go get some food and drinks!" Lin Erhu instructed the jailer, then looked at Hu Niu and flatteringly told his subordinates: "When you go to half of the restaurant, you will say that Hu Niu wants to eat her pastries, bring some back!" ”

The guards knew who was being locked in, and even when they were ordered to leave, the hall inside was rearranged.

Ahh

It's just that the Gaozhou Wei Zongqi stood outside the door, and was blown by the wind outside, and sneezed heavily. His eyes were full of resentment and looked inside, where was this to go to prison, and it was clearly a dinner.
