Chapter 676:-for-tat

Good things don't go out, bad things spread thousands of miles, and the previous Nanjing Jinyiwei public case not only shocked the court, but also caused a lot of noise among the people. Although the small people don't know what kind of struggle is between the powerful, the three words of Jinyiwei are enough to stop children crying at night in Nanjing. The older generation has experienced the Hongwu Dynasty Lanyu case, Hu Weiyong case and other successive prisons, and will never forget the terrifying methods of Jinyiwei, and will never forget the countless heads that fell out of those days; is the younger generation, I haven't seen Ji Gang's flying and domineering scene before. Therefore, countless people applauded the official government's inspection of Jinyiwei these days.

At this moment, the loud voice of the errand came out, and the upstairs and downstairs suddenly quieted. Due to the long time ago, those things of Jin Yiwei were publicized by one mouth after another, and the characters in it were naturally well known, especially the name Tang Qian was deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and everyone knew that it was the dog leg who helped Liu Jun to be wronged and loyal. As a result, the drinkers in the Taiping Building were dumbfounded.

Just now, Liu Guan rushed in with the patrol Hulala, and there was already a good thing shouting that this time he was here to arrest this person, and now such a guy is dragged down upstairs, but this errand officer said that the main master has been sent to the criminal department, and the correct body has been verified. If that is true, who is this guy in front of him, and what does he mean by shouting "Lord Yuan save me"?

Liu Guan, who was originally walking down the stairs leisurely, had already changed his face when he heard the shouting, and at this time, seeing that everyone's faces were delicate, he was even more pale. Staring at the overjoyed officer, he longed for a heart-warming kick out of the door. However, in front of everyone, he has always been known for his gentleness in front of people, and no matter how much he hates at this time, he can only put on an approachable face. Walking down the last few steps, he looked this person up and down, and then asked, "Did Zhao Shangshu of the Criminal Department ask you to come?" ”

"Yes." The chief officer knelt on the ground and said without raising his head, "It was a few people who twisted people over, and Lord Zhao was also surprised. After letting Nanjing Jinyiwei identify the people, Lord Zhao was sure that he was not mistaken, and immediately ordered to reward those people, and put Tang Qian in prison and detained, and ordered to report to His Royal Highness the Prince, and also sent a small one to inform Lord Zongxian. ”

At first, Liu Guan guessed that the person in front of him was just lying and cheating, purely trying to disturb the good situation he had worked so hard to build, however, listening to it, his heart gradually sank, and in the end, he no longer had any doubts. But the more this happened, the more he gritted his teeth and couldn't calm down.

That Tang Qian disappeared for a few months, the garrison mansion, the Ying Tianfu, the criminal department, and the Jinyi guard...... So many yamen didn't catch anyone, but they let a few small people catch them and ask for rewards? This news came late and early, but when he just created a momentum, how could there be such a coincidence in the world? Also, he deliberately ordered someone to follow Zhang Yue, and it was easy to block people on this Taiping Tower today, why did he meet with another person who had nothing to do with him?

Although he was extremely unwilling, this moment was not the time to hesitate after all, so Liu Guan only pondered for a moment before he smiled: "It is worthy of Zhao Shangshu, who is actually ahead of me." Pass the order down and return to the criminal department immediately! ”

The people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division are usually only in charge of the security of the market, and this time they follow Liu Guan to do things, and these places with background backgrounds in the past can be broken into casually, originally extremely proud, who knows that after just a while, things will change. Hearing this order, although the patrol forces were dumbfounded, they had no choice but to obey. At this time, a voice suddenly sounded in the lobby on the ground floor.

"Slow down, adult!"

With this shout, someone stood up at a table at the top of the staircase. The young man was only seventeen or eighteen years old, short in stature, wearing a green cloth scarf, wearing an eggplant-colored Hangzhou silk straight jacket, wide eyebrows and big eyes, and he actually had a unique and powerful momentum. He didn't seem to realize that he had become the center of all his eyes, and he only looked at Liu Guan who turned his head to look at him, and suddenly took a deep look.

"Dare to ask Lord General Xian, if the Criminal Department has already taken that Tang Qian, who is this who was just captured by the patrol of the Beicheng Soldiers and Horses? If he wasn't Tang Qian, what was the meaning of what Lord Yuan was trying to save me just now, why didn't he justify that the Soldiers and Horses Division had caught the wrong person? All of us here, young and old, heard it, just now the soldiers and horses all said that Tang Qian had already caught it! ”

This is not the only one who has this question, but because that person is a second-class member of the dynasty, most of them can only guess in their hearts. Someone was emboldened, and there was a whisper from upstairs and downstairs, and the gossip soon turned the place into a noisy bazaar.

Zhang Yue, who was standing by the railing on the second floor, also felt quite surprised, looked at the young man, and saw that he was standing tall without any fear, and he couldn't help but praise in his heart. He didn't know this person, but it was extremely unusual to be able to question the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate in court. The questions just now were quite sharp, and he was more interested in what the young man would say next.

In this atmosphere, the people of the Five Cities Terracotta Division were fine, but Liu Guan's face became more and more ugly, and his knife-like gaze was even more staring at the young man who was stirring up the situation. Seeing that the other party was not stunned at all, he was even more annoyed in his heart, and immediately snorted coldly: "The yellow-mouthed child who has not dried up has a milky smell, what do you know about the principles of punishment and prison in the court?" ”

This is already condescending to oppress people with his identity and qualifications, but under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, the young man did not retreat but advanced, but took a step forward, and raised his voice again: "Although the student is young, he is a member of the Suzhou Mansion, and he has read through the Da Ming Law since he was a child!" Lord Zong Xian acted on the orders of Qin to arrest the prisoners, and no one dared to say anything from the top and bottom of the Taiping Tower. But to ask such a criminal, and let the suspect's shouting and screaming spread everywhere, but is the way to arrest him? Now that the Nanjing Criminal Department has taken in the detention of the main criminal, this person still thinks that he is Tang Qian, and he shouts that everyone knows about it, and even bites the so-called Lord Yuan to death, it is clear that he has ulterior motives, or he deliberately frames ......"

"Shut up!"

Hearing the two words, Liu Guan finally couldn't hold his breath anymore, interrupted the young man's words, and reprimanded in a loud voice: "Drive out this nonsense yellow-mouthed child!" ”

Hearing this, an errand officer rushed forward quickly, and without saying a word, he was about to twist the young man's arm. said that it was too late, and at this moment, a big hand like a fan suddenly stretched out next to him, and with a pull, he put aside the errand who was carrying a bear's waist. Seeing this scene, the frightened young man hurriedly took two steps back, and shouted again regardless of it.

"As the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, haven't you heard the folk comments? The patrol is as greedy as a wolf, and the official is as fierce as a tiger! Lord Luo, the prefect of Suzhou, was impeached by Lord Shihou of Nanzhili, which is the most ordinary supervision, but what is the reaction of the people? Now the people of Suzhou are asking for their lives, asking to leave the prefect and severely punish the corrupt and lawless imperial history! If the Metropolitan Procuratorate cannot be fair and strict, then where is there still honesty and justice in the world? ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar upstairs and downstairs, and I didn't know who took the lead in calling a good word, so I only listened to the cheers in the four places, and for a time it was all the voices of response and support. Although Zhang Yue felt that the young man was a little impulsive, when he heard Suzhou Mansion, his heart couldn't help but move, and he looked up at Liu Guan again. Sure enough, I saw that the chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate was already so angry that his face twitched, as if he would have an attack anytime and anywhere. At this time, he could no longer stand idly by, and immediately walked quickly downstairs. Seeing that Niu dared to stop in front of the young man and did not move, he couldn't help but smile.

Now that he has understood that Liu Guan has just broken into his box with bad intentions, Zhang Yue is naturally not afraid of what association the other party will be caused by coming forward to play a round, so he raised his hand with a smile, and then said: "Lord Liu, since Zhao Shangshu of the Criminal Department has sent someone over to invite him, the stakes are very high, why should my lord waste time and a young student?" As for the identity of this criminal, if it is true over there, it is naturally fake here. Please also bring it back to Haosheng for interrogation to see who is behind the scenes, so that he dares to make up nonsense by falsely stating his identity! There are so many people here today, and it's not good to spread the reputation. ”

As soon as Zhang Yue came up like this, Liu Guan didn't know that his plan had been penetrated, and under his anger, his eyes narrowed more and more into a slit. It's just that the young man was not afraid of his forced gaze just now, and this move had no effect on Zhang Yue. Therefore, after looking at each other for a while, he smiled sadly: "Remind Zhang Fucheng." Come on, collect the troops, and take this guy to the criminal department! ”

At this time, the officers and soldiers of the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division, who had just been stunned by the series of incidents, came to their senses and hurriedly pushed the person who was tied up. Compared to the movement when he had just descended the stairs, the man was now dumb and silent. Suddenly, those sergeants with steel knives at their waists retreated cleanly like the tide, and Liu Guan, who went out at the end, stared at Zhang Yue for a while, then glanced at the young man who was still unconvinced, and lightly left a sentence.

"Zhang Fucheng is a young man, so he sympathizes with each other, and he also maintains such an arrogant boy, but don't forget, this is not the past!"

Zhang Yue bowed with a smile: "Thank you Lord Liu for your kind reminder." It's really not the past, only the lower officials have always been on the same road, and they have never stepped on two boats, so they naturally have a clear conscience! ”

Liu Guan, who strode away, froze in his feet, but then quickened his pace and went out. When he got out of this Taiping Tower, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at the bright signboard, and then he sneered and brushed his sleeves away. The young man at the door watched the group of people leave one after another, and when all the shadows were gone, he ran in and reported to the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper saw that many people who had just cheered got up to leave, and suddenly he had an idea, and he made a gesture in all directions.

"Rest assured, the people of the government have left! Now that the main owner has been arrested, this matter has nothing to do with us, and today it is frightening everyone! But you don't have to worry, the small shop is the property of the Mu family of the Qianning Palace, and the government can't be harassed casually if there is nothing to do. Today, I am in charge of the East on behalf of us, and everyone's food and wine money are all free! ”

At this moment, many guests suddenly became happy, even those who got up to leave were seated again, and there were countless shouting voices up and down. Zhang Yue had already walked up to the young man at this time, and was about to ask a question, but unexpectedly, the shopkeeper who had finished speaking ran over at a trot and respectfully called out to Master Zhang. Knowing that Liu Guan had just revealed his bottom one by one, he nodded slightly, sent away the honest and frightened shopkeeper in a few words, and turned around again.

The young man had just spoken loudly and boldly in front of Liu Guan, and now that the person was gone, his momentum disappeared without a trace, and when he saw Zhang Yue staring at him, he was even more embarrassed.

"At a young age, you're not a little bold!" Zhang Yue looked at him with a smile, and then asked, "Listening to the tone you just spoke, is it a person from Suzhou, or a student?" ”

"Xu Hui, a student from Wu County, Suzhou Prefecture, visited Master Zhang." After reporting to the door of the house, Xu Hui peeked and saw that Zhang Yue's face seemed to be a little strange, he mistakenly thought that Zhang Yue had heard his name from those people before, and hurriedly explained, "It's not that the students deliberately didn't come to the door, but because they got the news from Suzhou Mansion and were not happy, so they didn't dare to come to the door." ”

Listening to this mouthful of a student, Zhang Yue, who was already eccentric in his heart, was even more funny. Since inquiring about Chen Fuzi and the students of clan studies mentioned Xu Hui, he wanted to see who Xu Hui was, who changed his name to Xu Youzhen in the future, but unfortunately someone never came, so he left this matter behind, and he didn't expect to have such a coincidence today.

"It's weird, I think your name is familiar, it turns out that you are Xu Huo in the mouth of Master Chen. You were still in Jiangxi a few days ago, how did you know about Suzhou Mansion? ”

Xu Huo hurriedly pointed to the other people in the same seat: "These are all my classmates and friends in the Fuxue, they are not angry that the prefect of Luo made the land of Wuzhong rule by himself, but in the end it did not end well, so they all came to Nanjing, and this is when they met me." ”

Zhang Yue glanced at the few people sitting in the same seat who had just saluted with Xu Hui, and asked the origin of everyone's names and surnames, and when he saw that it was indeed Sergeant Wu, he couldn't help but groan in his heart, and then said a few words of encouragement and reminder, and then turned around and went out. Before he had gone far from the Taiping Tower, he heard a call behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Huo and a few classmates chasing after him.

Panting to catch up with Zhang Yue, Xu Huo asked for a long time: "My lord seems to have unfinished words just now?" ”

Although it has been determined that this is Xu Hui who single-handedly led the change of seizing the door, but in the face of this kind of shrewdness in fighting snakes and sticks, Zhang Yue couldn't feel any bad feelings, and immediately shook his head and said: "Although your actions today seem to be bold, they are actually really reckless. It must be known that Lord Liu is in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, even if the ministers of the Ministry and Cabinet are jealous of him, let alone you? Even if he doesn't sin against you because of this, but is angry with that Luo Governor's Mansion, so what? After all, the folk book of ten thousand words is a forbidden thing, even if it reaches the imperial court, I am afraid it will still harm the Luo Governor's Mansion. ”

Seeing a few classmates with panicked faces for a moment, Xu Huo suddenly gasped. At that moment, when the righteous indignation was so fast, how could he forget this?
