Chapter 790: The Sorrow of Disaster from the Sky

Compared with other state capitals in Henan, the official of the Nanyang prefect is actually not difficult. Although there are many water systems in Nanyang, it is still far from the Yellow River after all, and unless it is a major flood that has not been encountered for decades, the surrounding hundreds of miles of land are very peaceful. Tu Kemin, the prefect of Nanyang, is not a first-class capable person, but he is cautious under his rule, and his godson is also well-organized. Because of the solid family background, the government can't help it, and he will let his wife give up porridge and food and clothes during the New Year's holidays, so he is quite well received in Nanyang.

However, the official career of the Nanyang prefect was not smooth. He is a Jinshi in Yongle for nine years, but he has been in office for more than ten years, and now he is over fifty years old but he is still only a prefect, in the final analysis, because he is timid and afraid of things. He didn't dare to give gifts to his boss, he didn't dare to accept bribes from the people, and as for the crimes committed by the wealthy and powerful people, he didn't dare to care about it at all, but he just tried to settle the matter and try to give the victim some compensation. With this character, his evaluation has never been good or bad.

That night, as soon as he learned that it was the nephew of the governor of Dongchang who had passed over from his own land and caused such an incident on the street, Tu Kemin sighed, knowing that he could only swallow his anger this time, and then send some silver money from the yamen to comfort the injured people. Although today's Jinyi Weidong Factory is far less notorious than before, after all, he has been an official for a long time, and he does not dare to forget the past, and he does not dare to provoke these people who are extremely vicious from the root.

However, when the official of that matter suggested whether to visit that Lu Gongzi, he shook his head. Don't dare to care, but as long as people don't come to the door, he won't send it to the door by himself. He couldn't do anything that was too shameless. So, leaving the matter of appeasement to the next person, he went back to the back office to rest, and only hoped that the troublemaker would leave quickly.

In the middle of the night, Lord Fuzun, who had just fallen asleep in a daze, was woken up by a burst of pushing. He opened his eyes impatiently, and saw that it was an anxious old wife, and he immediately swallowed back the scolding that came to his mouth, and the person sat up with a spirit, and asked with a strong spirit, "What's wrong?" ”

"Master, Chen Zhutou sent a message to come in, saying that something was wrong outside...... A few people from the brocade guards surrounded an adult, saying that they wanted to see you, although it was the middle of the night, but he didn't dare to slack off, so he ......"

Tu Kemin didn't have the heart to listen to the words at all, and he only had those three words in his heart - Jin Yiwei. I have repeatedly pondered whether I have made Jinyiwei grasp the bad deeds over the years, whether I have said it unintentionally, whether I have poems with unclear meanings, and what sensitive people I should not befriend...... After repeatedly confirming that he was too innocent to be innocent, he hurriedly put on the whole set of official clothes under the service of his old wife, and hurried out with his shoes in his hand, and hurriedly pulled the heels of his shoes when he went down the steps, and jumped twice as young as he was young.

At this moment, the second door had already been locked, and he asked the mother-in-law in charge of the door to open the door, and saw Chen Qing, the head catcher, standing outside with an anxious face, and hurriedly rushed to the hall at the other end with him. Along the way, he asked again and again what was going on, but Chen Qing didn't know anything, only that the adult looked very young, and he was accompanied by hundreds of households and more than a dozen people from the local Jinyi Guard. Just listening to this battle, his heart twitched for a while, and cold sweat broke out on the back of his palm.

When he arrived at the hall, Chen Qing's identity was not enough to enter, so he ordered him to stay outside the door to prepare for emergencies, and he tidied up his black gauze hat and official uniform, and then he entered with a smile. It was very late at this time, and although the room was lit with oil lamps and candles, it was still dim, and he could only see that the people on the seat were about twenty years old, and they were not wearing official uniforms, and because they were sitting in the dark, they could not see their facial features clearly.

"Xiaguan Nanyang Prefect Tu Kemin ......"

"Governor Tu doesn't need to be polite, he came late at night, but it was actually just for two things...... Well, it's more appropriate to say that it's one thing. ”

Zhang Yue sat in the backlight, just in time to look at the Nanyang prefect in front of him, and saw that he had gray hair and a fat body, his beard was neatly trimmed, and his official uniform was clean and straight. On the way, he had already heard the Jinyi Wei Baihu mention the character of the prefect of the city, and he had a number in his heart, so he handed over the purple flower seal in his hand.

Tu Kemin was still wondering what Zhang Yue meant by this, when he saw someone handing something over, and hurriedly took it with both hands. When he saw that it was a purple flower seal, he was even more shocked. It must be known that these official seal officials are all wearing seals, and all those who carry this kind of copper customs defense are temporarily appointed officials, ranging from the general soldier to the governor, and they must be senior officers. But when he carefully took the purple flower seal and covered it on the paper, and saw the handwriting on it by the light of the oil lamp next to him, he was at a loss.

This is the official sent to Jiaolu, but what can the official sent there do when he comes to see him?

Seeing that Tu Kemin's face was dazed, or the brocade-clothed guard who was eager to solve the matter, Ma Baihu couldn't stand it, and took a few steps up to tell Tu Governor's voice about Zhang Yue's identity. At this time, someone just woke up from a dream, and a heart hung again. When Zhang Yue talked lightly about the case in the evening, he immediately mentioned that Jinyiwei had crashed into the inn because of a false case reported in the evening, and he immediately gasped.

That master is simply not causing trouble, but lawless!

After seeing that Tu Kemin was frightened, he immediately became more cautious, and Zhang Yue said: "Trampling on passers-by is one of the crimes; Using his uncle's authority to report a false case to Jinyiwei is the second crime. The incident happened on the boundary of Nanyang Prefecture, and the prefect Tu was asked to explain it. You must know that the inn was completely chartered by me, and there was also the eldest son of the Duke of Qianguo, where did the Yellow River bandits come from? ”

"This ......" Tu Kemin was already sweating profusely with fright, and hesitated for a long time before he said, "My lord, this matter is indeed not small, but since it involves Jinyiwei, if the government officials rashly intervene......"

"Jin Yiwei will naturally run errands with the government office, what else does the government have to worry about!"

The ground of Nanyang Mansion is not a fat shortage, and it was assigned to this plot by Jinyi Wei Henan Wei Institute, Ma Baihu already felt a thousand grievances, not to mention that he had encountered such an unfortunate thing. Previously, Zhang Yue summoned him alone, and a few words scared him out of his soul, so he could only obediently obey orders, and naturally wanted to go into the water alone. Seeing that Tu Kemin was stunned for a moment, and finally drooped his head and nodded, he couldn't help but be very happy.

Whether it was Jinyiwei or the government office, in fact, they couldn't mobilize many people, but when twenty or thirty people with torches knocked on the door of the inn and immediately swarmed in, the kind of deterrent effect was extraordinary, and everyone from the shopkeeper to the men was frightened.

At night, he deliberately asked his subordinates to find a fan head to accompany him, and now Lu Yi, who was in the middle of a spring dream, was woken up by a huge noise, and as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw that the powder tent in front of him was rudely opened, and the sweaty pink back of the jade in his arms and his own naked stripes all fell into the eyes of people. Facing the man who was holding the back of the knife and lifting the powder tent, he shouted angrily without much thought.

"Who are you who dare to break into my house!"

"Master Lu, what you committed happened!"

Knowing that this time it was very likely that he had offended Lu Feng to death, but the imminent threat was always much more important than the distant terrifying boss, Ma Baihu saw that the main master was grabbed, so he didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, and directly ordered his subordinates to pull a quilt over, and after wrapping Lu Yi in three or two, he gagged and let people carry him away. In the other rooms, Lu Yi's entourage and so on were all tied up. In less than a quarter of an hour, the people who had just poured into the inn had completely receded like a tidal wave, leaving only the stupid shopkeeper and his men standing in the empty hall.

It was the first time that the prison of Jinyiwei in Nanyang Mansion had been crammed into so many people. Except for Lu Yi, the rest of the people were all crammed into this place. At this time, Tu Kemin, the prefect of Nanyang, thought that he didn't know what Zhang Yue was going to do, so he simply handed over the command of Zhang Yue to the command of the messenger and the arrest, and he hid far away under the pretext of excuse. At this time, the servants were almost sent back, and Ma Baihu was sent back because of Zhang Yue's previous words, and he followed the left and right for dispatch almost without saying a word.

Although people directly deceived him, if it weren't for Mu Bin's companionship, since he knew that Lu Yi was Lu Feng's nephew, Zhang Yue would not have made such a big show on the surface. Now that he has been imprisoned, he asked Ma Baihu to mention a few family members of the Lu Mansion. Asked Lu Yi to go to Beijing this time because someone took the Dongchang token to the Lu family, it was not Lu Feng's handwritten letter, but just a message, and he left after delivering the message, he became more and more vigilant in his heart.

So, when he mentioned two more retinues, he unhurriedly revealed his identity. As soon as he heard this, the entourage immediately wept bitterly and confessed that the little servant who gave Lu Yi an idea and said that he might as well go to support the Jinyi Guard was called Jiang Bai, who was the most trusted, and the other person kneeling next to him also hurriedly agreed, and also told Qu that he had eaten a slap from the young master for this matter. Hearing this, Zhang Yue couldn't help but look at Ma Baihu next to him.

"I didn't expect that Ma Baihu's unwarranted disaster was caused by this person, but he was an extremely hateful guy."

"It's really Diao slave, it seems that Lu Gongzi was all deceived by him!" Ma Baihu hated it, but he also found an opportunity to clear his troubles, and hurriedly bent down and said with a smile, "Let's go and bring that Diao Nu here?" ”

Zhang Yue didn't answer immediately, but thought quickly. If Lu Feng's nephew did not go to the capital because of his orders, but someone falsely spread the word of mouth; If this little man did not come up with this idea to please his master, but because he was instructed to do so; If Lu Yi gets into trouble all the way, in addition to his nature, there are also people who pry him...... So, I really didn't think too much about it this time.

"You go to trial that Diao slave. After asking so many people, I don't have the energy anymore, so I'll go back to the inn first. Zhang Yue stood up, and when he saw Ma Baihu's face full of panic, he said lightly, "Don't worry, I promise that I won't hold you accountable, and if Gonggong Lu takes responsibility in front of him, he won't deceive you." People, you take a good trial, if there is anything to send someone to the inn to report to me, don't make trouble and kill people! Later, you send everyone except Lu Yi and that Diao slave to the government and prison, and then try them alone, understand? ”

Ma Baihu has been a brocade guard for many years, and he has seen a lot of tricks, thinking that Zhang Yue instructed him not to forget to let the government share the responsibility equally, and he didn't take anything to heart about a one-person trial, so he immediately agreed with joy. When he led someone to send Zhang Yue out of the door, he immediately returned to the prison, asked his subordinates to send the rest of the people to the government office in a car, and then let the two henchmen carry the Jiang Bai identified by others into the execution room.

Although Nanyang Jinyiwei only has a small 100 households, and it can't handle a few cases all year round, and there are few bad cases, there are all kinds of torture tools in the torture room. Coupled with the dim lighting and the lingering bloody gas, it was enough to scare the average person into peeing their pants. dragged Jiang Baiyi in, Ma Baihu ordered the person to take off his shirt and hang him high without saying a word, but his feet could not touch the ground, and two green bricks fell on his feet. Seeing that the man was stretched straight like a rope, and hearing the incessant begging for mercy, he casually picked up a whip and dipped it in the salt water, and immediately whipped it at the man with his head and face, scolding while beating.

"Your kid has a frivolous broken idea, and he almost killed more than a dozen of our brothers in Jinyiwei! If I don't let you learn these eighteen methods today, I won't be called Jinyiwei damn it! ”

Where did Jiang Bai suffer such a battle, and after a few whips, he was already howling miserably, begging for mercy with a handful of snot and tears. Ma Baihu was so resentful of his bad idea that he almost caused a big disaster, and instead of stopping, he added a little strength. It wasn't until the head was crooked that he dropped the whip and turned his sore arm in anger.

"Damn, I haven't picked a whip in years, and I can't stand it for a while. You two, don't be stunned, take cold water and wake people up! ”

A scoop of cold water went down, Jiang Bai suddenly woke up slowly, the fierce and vicious man in front of him was about to whip again, he almost shouted in the fastest voice: "My lord, spare my life, that idea is not small, someone gave the small one hundred taels of silver, let the little master make as many big things as he can along the way, and after the fact, he can get a hundred acres of fertile land!" ”

Ma Baihu was about to swing his whip when he heard such a sentence, and suddenly stopped suspiciously, stepped forward and twisted Jiang Bai's chin and asked sharply, "Is it you who was raised by that son of a bitch?" ”

"I don't know ...... little one" Seeing Ma Baihu holding his chin with a whip, Jiang Bai was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted, "But the little one remembers his accent, it's from the capital!" The man also said that after the matter was completed, let the little one go to the Taikang Silk Village in the capital to receive the reward! ”

If there is a regret medicine in the world, Ma Baihu can't wait to ask such a sentence just now. He is not a stupid person, and he has already thought of the deep meaning of Zhang Yue's words at this time. This seems to be just the arrogance of the gentleman, but in fact, it involves the wrestling of the big man in Beijing, and he is a small hundred households mixed in, isn't this looking for death? Moreover, there are two more people next to him at this time!
