Above the lobby, Zhang Beijia unceremoniously stabbed Master Shi's fork, which made the officials who listened to the trial below so excited that their hairs stood up, and they couldn't wait to come to the reclining chair, the pot of tea, the whole plate of melon seeds, and two girls next to them, one fanning and one pinching their legs, watching the play easily and happily.

Zhang Wenjin is a heart, he has semi-openly torn his face with Jiang Anyi about the trafficking of children in Washington, and in the appointment of the deputy of the border city, Jiang Anyi broke the rules of officialdom and ate alone, which made Zhang Wenjin annoyed. The sedan chair in the officialdom is carried by everyone, hello, hello, hello, everyone, especially in the appointment of officials, the assassin and the don't drive are to divide the cake.

However, Zhang Wenjin has his confidence, he is from the official rank of the fifth grade, and Jiang Anyi is the temporary assassin of the fifth grade, and the two are no different in the official rank. In addition, when Ren Assassin was assassinated by Yuan Tianjiao, Zhang Wenjin temporarily took over the post of Assassin Shi as a separate driver, Huazhou was a state of bondage, and he had just experienced the war, Zhang Wenjin thought that no one wanted to come here to serve as an assassin, so he was naturally promoted.

Officials of all sizes in the government also realized this and came to the door one after another in order to be able to continue their appointments. As the saying goes, once a son of heaven is a courtier, most of the new assassins in the history of the appointment have to re-appoint and dismiss officials, Zhang Beijia is an old man, if he is promoted, acquaintances are easy to do, and everyone does not have to worry about the position is not guaranteed.

As a result, Jiang Anyi fell from the sky, breaking everyone's dreams, and it was impossible to return the money that was spent, and the officials of the government had to suffer a dumb loss. However, Zhang Wenjin has served as an official in Huazhou for several years, and his network management is far better than that of the newcomer Jiang Anyi, and Zhang Wenjin and the officials of the yamen have the heart to hold a group to fight against the new assassin history, so it is difficult to implement Jiang Tingshi's decree. Zhang Wenjin is confident that once Jiang Anyi is in charge, most of the officials will be on his side.

If it had been a few years ago, Jiang Anyi would have fought back mercilessly, and then he would have broken the net. After several years of tempering, Jiang Anyi knows that rigidity is easy to break, and detours are also a tactic, facing Zhang Wenjin's provocative gaze, Jiang Anyi smiled slightly: "Lord Zhang is really familiar with "Da Zheng Law", but the official is Meng Lang, according to what Lord Zhang said, someone came." ”

With this "coming", there was a sound of air coming out from below, thinking that it was a fierce fight, but I didn't expect Lord Thorn Shi to admit defeat so easily, and there was a little more contempt in everyone's eyes. These days, Jiang Tingshi has suffered a lot of dark anger, and I haven't seen how he is, today Zhang Beijia slapped him directly in the face in the lobby, Jiang Tingshi took the initiative to give in, it seems that the choice of following the other driver is right. There are many officials who have wondered in their hearts whether it is time to walk away after not going to the driver's house for a while.

The officials on the shift shouted in unison: "Serve the master." Waiting for Jiang Anyi to give an order, he was ready to pull down the old man who complained and beat the thirty boards.

Tian Laohan was frightened by the shouting, and his originally kneeling body was crooked and collapsed to the ground. Although I was prepared when I came, I really didn't know if I could bear it when I thought of the thirty boards on my body, and I was afraid that I would faint when I arrived, and I wouldn't be able to tell my grievances to Lord Thorn Shi.

After shouting "coming", Jiang Anyi's words paused, and he said to Zhang Beijia with a pleasant face: "Lord Zhang, you are familiar with the "Da Zheng Law", but what are the three rules in the law? ”

Zhang Wenjin was stunned for a moment, and the thoughts in his heart were racing, it seems that Jiang Anyi is ready to make a fuss about the "three no-hits", the "three no-beating" in the law is stipulated by Taizu, which refers to the fact that young people under the age of 14 are not beaten, the old people over 60 are not beaten, and the frail and sick people are not beaten.

Combing his beard with his right hand, Zhang Wenjin recounted the "three nos" in a lessonal tone, Jiang Anyi smiled and said: "I see, I see that this old man is skinny, trembling all over, he can't kneel on his knees, and he is weak and sick." Old man, let me ask you, can you be strong enough to withstand the thirty boards? ”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wenjin's nose was almost crooked, there was such a question, it was obvious that he didn't want to hit this old man. As soon as Tian Laohan heard Lord Thorn Shi's words, he knew that Lord Thorn Shi had pity on him, so he had the courage to raise his head and glance at Jiang Anyi quickly, and there was a young man with a slight beard sitting behind the public case, with a slightly dark complexion, unlike the white-faced and black-bearded official sitting next to him.

Bowing his head, Tian Laohan mourned: "The little old man is weak, often has headaches and wheezing, and his hands and legs are numb......"

Before Tian Laohan finished speaking, Zhang Wenjin roared angrily: "Nonsense, you can come to Huiye Mansion from Wuyun County to complain, it is clear that you are physically strong, and if you want to talk nonsense, you will be punished for deception first." ”

Tian Laohan was so frightened that he didn't dare to go on.

Jiang Anyi said with a calm face: "Lord Zhang, what do you mean by this, intimidating the plaintiff in the lobby, do you still put this official in your eyes?" ”

Zhang Wenjin's cheeks twitched twice, and he said with a sneer: "Don't dare, this official is just arguing on the basis of reason, lest the adults fall into the trap of Diao Min, and it will be difficult to clear himself." ”

"It turns out that Lord Zhang has a good intention", Jiang Anyi sneered on his face, and said: "Since Lord Zhang believes that this old man is strong and strong, these thirty boards cannot be exempted. ”

The gossip that everyone originally mentioned was immediately sunk to the bottom by Jiang Anyi's words, it seems that Jiang Tingshi deliberately showed favor to Zhang Beijia, but the poor old man became a victim.

"However, the law is nothing more than human affection, Tian Laohan is nearly sixty years old, so let's do it, with one to ten, and three boards will be counted as over." Zhang Wenjin was about to refute, but Jiang Anyi shouted: "Don't pull the old man down and take the three major boards seriously." ”

The officials stepped forward to pull up the old man Tian, and Zhang Wenjin signaled with his eyes that the three major boards would also be hit hard, so that the old man's bones were broken and his tendons were broken, and in the end, he was killed. The officials understood that Tian Laohan was about to be executed like a wolf.

Jiang Anyi's words came again, "The official thinks that this old man is weak and sickly, but Zhang Beijia doesn't agree, Master Zhang is a senior, and the official has always been respectful." However, you should pay attention when playing the board, if the old man is really weak and can't stand up after hitting the board or causes a seizure, then Lord Zhang has violated the rule of 'three no's' set by Taizu back then. This official, like Lord Zhang, is also a person who speaks the law, and the prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, so he has no choice but to punish Lord Zhang according to the law. Those of you who play the board also have to take some responsibility with you, so you should be careful with this official. ”

The words full of coercion fell in the ears of the officials, and the officials looked at Zhang Beijia with bitter faces, the two big fights are difficult to make small, Lord Zhang, your old man came out and said something. What can Zhang Wenjin say, he was deducted by Jiang Anyi with the law, what law is nothing more than human affection, one is worth ten, and what "three don'ts" are still detained, if you make a mistake or your own fault, the left and right are your fault, you might as well not fight.

Zhang Wenjin rolled his eyes in anger, and accidentally used too much force on his hands, tearing off two more beards on his chin, and his heart ached, how could he care about the resentful eyes of the officials.

The officials are all clever people, heroes don't eat immediate losses, Lord Assassin Shi made it clear that he didn't want to beat this old man, we couldn't afford to provoke Zhang Beijia and didn't dare to offend Jiang Assassin Shi, since Assassin Shi spoke, the fluttering three boards hit Tian Laohan's buttocks, and the dust on his clothes didn't rise.

Tian Laohan wondered, when he was in the county seat, he had also seen the county lord beating people's boards, and there was a purple mark under the stick, so how could he beat the dust for himself like his wife. Kneeling in front of the hall again, Jiang Anyi asked: "Who is kneeling and what is wronged, tell me the truth." ”

I met the master of Qingtian, Tian Laohan made honey fruit for Sun Yuanwai's family in Wuyun County, and for some reason, the honey fruit was rotten, and Sun Yuanwai detained everyone who worked and wanted to compensate each person for five taels of silver, otherwise he would sell people to pay off his debts.

“…… The old man's family is destitute, in addition to selling the field, how can there be money and ten taels of silver, if the field is sold, the old and young will starve to death next year. Speaking of sadness, Tian Laohan was in tears and couldn't cry.

Zhang Wenjin listened to Tian Laohan's narration, and his heart turned to the thought, Tian Laohan said that Sun Fucheng Sun Yuanwai he knew, when he arrived in Wuyun County, Bai Zhiguang invited him to eat flower wine, including this grandson foreign minister, remember that time Sun Yuanwai also wrapped two hundred taels of silver to himself.

Although Liu Xinming was from the position of the head of the household department, Liu Xinming still mobilized a large amount of silver when the Northern Desert was about to invade, stabilizing the border situation, and the Son of Heaven thought of his benefits, and did not embarrass him, but gave him a gift to return. Although the authority of the Liu family is not as good as before, it still lives in the middle of the top ten families, and Sun Yuanwai is related to him, so he is naturally as stable as Mount Tai.

Zhang Wenjin was thinking about his thoughts, and peeked at Jiang Anyi's face, this Lord Thorn Shi's face was so gloomy that it dripped, he had heard of Jiang Anyi's life experience, and he thought that this Lord Jiang remembered the situation when he was forced to pay debts, no need to ask, he would definitely help this old man.

Zhang Wenjin with a twisted beard calculated that Jiang Anyi's Western Regions trade license certificate in Huazhou has already made the officials and gentry in Hezhou complain, if he can think of another way for him to collide with the Liu family, he can mobilize the officials and gentry to petition the court together, maybe he can remove Jiang Anyi from the post of assassin, even if he can't sit in the position of assassin, it is better than Jiang Anyi to change any one.

After Tian Laohan finished speaking, Jiang Anyi carefully asked Tian Laohan about the process of making honey fruits by his two daughters-in-law, everyone in Manhua Prefecture knew this recipe, and even the Hu people who were businessmen knew it, and Tian Laohan asked his daughter-in-law, so he naturally knew it.

Listening to Tian Laohan's narration, Jiang Anyi also asked about the details from time to time, and the step-by-step operation was indeed according to the formula, but one step was missed, and no honey was added. Jiang Anyi slapped the public case and scolded: "At the beginning, the official told them to act according to the original formula, who let them change the prescription without authorization, and wanted to slander the good people by themselves, it is really hateful." ”

"Wen Qi." Wen Qi, Huazhou Records joined the army.

A green-clad official stood out from the crowd at the hearing, bowed and saluted, "Your Excellency has seen your lordship." ”

"Wen Qi, tomorrow you take Tian Laohan to Wuyun County, ask for the reason, let Sun Fucheng release him, and dispose of it as appropriate."

"Yes." Wen Qi replied with a smile. Such an errand is to send money to him, and Sun Fu will inevitably bleed heavily when he ends this matter.

However, his smiling face fell in Jiang Anyi's eyes, which reminded Jiang Anyi of Wang Yongqing, who was the governor of Lizhou when he was in Fuluo County, and glanced at Wen Qi with deep meaning, Jiang Anyi felt that it was necessary for him to go to Wuyun County to secretly listen to the trial.
