Fang Xuanling hurriedly asked for details and asked him where he lost the jade pendant, Fang Xuanling originally wanted to say that he lost it in Lantian County, but then he thought that Fang Xuanling would not allow him to run around, and if he said it, it was estimated that Fang Xuanling was going to scold himself again, so he lied and said that he had lost it on Chang'an Street.

If you want to ask Datang what official is the most difficult to do, it must be the history of Chang'an's assassination, which is equivalent to the modern mayor of Beijing, it stands to reason that this official is very big, why is it difficult to do.

The reason is very simple, in the Tang Dynasty, the history of the thorn was called the official of the feudal territory, which is a very awesome feeling, but as the history of the Chang'an thorn, do you dare to call yourself the official of the feudal territory, what is the place of Chang'an, that is the Kyoto of the Tang Dynasty, the officials of the entire Tang Dynasty are all here, there are many princes like dogs, the Hou Ye walks all over the ground, plus there is a governor of Jingzhao Mansion above his head, the history of the Chang'an thorn has become a salute worm, and when he sees an official, he has to salute and greet, claiming to be a lowly official, such a day is simply a torment.

The current Chang'an Thorn History is called Yu Dingzhong, forty years old this year, Ren Chang'an Thorn History has been more than a year, he does not dare to go to Chang'an Zhuque Street on weekdays, because it is full of the highest level of the Tang Dynasty, he remembers that once he passed by in a sedan chair from there, and it took him an hour to finish a Suzaku Street, half of the time was used to get off the sedan chair to salute, he has no other thoughts now, he is looking forward to the expiration of his term, and then transfer, transfer anywhere, anyway, he doesn't want to stay in Chang'an.

Seeing that his term of office was about to expire in a few months, suddenly a big guy came to the door, yes, it was the head of the hundred officials of the Tang Dynasty - Fang Qiao.

As soon as he heard that Fang Xuanling was coming, Yu Dingzhong was stunned, and immediately began to reflect on whether he had done anything bad recently, or whether his uncompetitive son had done something to bully men and women, and finally met Fang Xuanling in the hall with a worried heart.

Fang Xuanling came in civilian clothes this time, only brought a housekeeper, he and Yu Dingzhong sat down in the main hall, Yu Dingzhong served fragrant tea, and then asked with a smile: "Fang Xiang has a lot of opportunities, how can he have time to come to Xiaguan here, could it be that Xiaguan has not done something well, if so, please Fang Xiang speak bluntly, Xiaguan will try his best to correct it." ”

Fang Xuanling took a sip of tea, chuckled, and said: "Yu Xuanling didn't do anything wrong, everyone is an official in Chang'an, and I, as a senior official, occasionally come to comfort my subordinates, it doesn't seem too much, haha......"

"Not too much, not too much." Yu Ding's chick nodded again and again as if eating rice.

"Well, Yu Tingshi's tea is good." Fang Xuanling took another sip of tea and commented, "It's just that the ginger is a little too much." ”

Yu Dingzhong hurriedly smiled: "It's almost autumn, and the lower officials will put more ginger in the tea at this time to prevent typhoid fever." ”

Fang Xuanling nodded: "Well, yes, let's be officials, bow to the court, and seek benefits for the people, this is our duty, but we should also pay special attention to our own body, if we are sick, then who will be in charge, isn't this a corpse vegetarian meal, haha." ”

"Fang Xiang said yes, very much." Yu Dingzhong looked like a primary school student listening to the teacher's teachings, so well-behaved that he didn't want to, and Fang Xuanling also put the head of the hundred officials on the shelf.

However, Fang Xuanling came this time to have a serious matter, not to taste tea, everyone should also greet each other, and those who should be polite are also polite, the official face is almost done, it's time to get down to business, Fang Xuanling put down the teacup and said quietly: "Yu Tingshi, I heard that under your governance, Chang'an is prosperous, and the generation of chickens and dog thieves is almost extinct?" ”

Yu Dingzhong just wanted to be modest when he heard this, but suddenly found that something was wrong, what was wrong, because of Fang Xuanling's questioning tone, his eyes rolled, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Fang Xiang, since he took office, he has been doing his best, he doesn't dare to slack off, he doesn't dare to say that there are no thieves in Chang'an, but it is indeed much better than before, please Fang Xiang. ”

"Hmm." Fang Xuanling hummed lightly, there was no joy or anger in his tone, and he slowly spoke after a while, "My youngest son, bereavement, wandered on Chang'an Avenue the day before yesterday, and when he came back, he found that he had lost something. ”

Yu Dingzhong was stunned when he heard this, and knew Fang Xuanling's intention, and hurriedly asked respectfully: "I don't know what Fang Xiang's son lost?" ”

"It's a jade pendant." Fang Xuanling got up slowly, paced lightly for two steps, and suddenly his face turned terrier, and said, "This jade pendant is very important, it is given by the saint." ”

"Ahh Yu Dingzhong was dumbfounded, his face was instantly bloodless, the jade pendant rewarded by the emperor was lost, and it was lost in his governing area, he suddenly felt that his official career had come to an end, no, he was unwilling, he had to remedy!

Yu Dingzhong suddenly left his seat, fell to his knees with a thud, knocked his head on the ground, and begged in a wailing voice: "Fang Xiang, this is a dereliction of duty, and it is difficult to escape the blame for the lowly position. ”

Fang Xuanling stepped forward to help him up, his expression became extremely relaxed, like a spring breeze, this face-changing effort is definitely not something that can be practiced for decades: "Since this official is here alone today, he doesn't want this matter to be publicized, it will not be good for you and me." ”

Yu Dingzhong immediately understood what he meant, and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you Fang Xiang, I will definitely arrest the jade thief as soon as possible......"

"Just find the jade pendant." Fang Xuanling reminded, "Don't make a big deal out of it. ”

"Yes, yes, yes......" Yu Dingzhong responded with a stack of voices, and said, "It's still Fang Xiang who thinks thoughtfully, and he must be silent and find the jade pendant." ”

Fang Xuanling was very satisfied with his attitude, nodded and said, "Okay, I have explained the matter, you can do it yourself, you don't need to send it, so as not to provoke criticism." After saying that, he turned around and left.

Yu Dingzhong bowed to him: "Redemption can't be sent far away." When Fang Xuanling's back disappeared completely, he straightened up and raised his hand to wipe away the cold sweat on his head.

After a moment of silence, Yu Dingzhong suddenly shouted: "Someone! Arrest all the big and small thieves in Chang'an! ”

Li Hao pit a piece of jade pendant, and the thieves in the entire Chang'an were all unlucky, and they were all arrested in the Chang'an prison, and even some thieves who had been washing their hands for several years were not spared, and for a while, the entire Chang'an prison was full of thieves.

Yu Dingzhong personally went to the prison for interrogation, but it took three days, and he didn't find a clue, Yu Dingzhong caught fire in a hurry, and his mouth ulcerated, so he sent someone to quietly send a letter to Fang Xuanling and report the results of his interrogation.

Fang Xuanling was also quite surprised, he was still clear about Yu Dingzhong's ability to do things, he thought it was not difficult, but he didn't expect to even ask a hair, he thought about it, and felt that the jade thief might not be from Chang'an, it was very likely that it was a thief from the surrounding county, and he ran Chang'an to flow the case, so he sent a message to Yu Dingzhong, asking him to release those thieves first, and then go to the Jingzhao Governor's Mansion himself, and once again performed the routine used in Yu Dingzhong's Mansion, the highest governor of the Jingzhao Governor's Mansion is the Governor, This is a newly built official office and position after the founding of the Tang Dynasty, so many people still verbally call it Fu Yin.

The Governor has absolute power in the Governor's Mansion, he can grasp the military and politics with one hand, very bullish, and the Jingzhao Governor's Mansion is higher than the general Governor's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion, the Jingzhao Governor is an official from the second grade, second only to Fang Xuanling, the current Governor of the Jingzhao Governor's Mansion is named Shen Song, after hearing Fang Xuanling's words, his reaction was similar to Yu Dingzhong, and he was also shocked, and immediately began to thoroughly investigate the thieves in various states and counties, and for a while, all the thieves in Jingzhao Mansion seemed to have stabbed a hornet's nest, and all of them suffered.

However, the result was very unsatisfactory, and still did not find any clues, Shen Song wondered, fortunately, he had been an official for many years, and he was quite smart, and immediately ordered people to go to the pawnshops in various states and counties to investigate thoroughly, according to his ideas, the thieves stole the jade pendant and naturally wanted to sell the stolen goods, and there were only two ways to sell the stolen goods, black and white, and he had already checked the black road when he arrested those thieves, and found nothing, and now he can only take the white road, and the first choice for the white road to sell is of course the pawnshop.

This investigation, there was really an unexpected joy, and there was a report immediately, saying that the jade pendant was found in the Tianlong pawnshop in Lantian County, and the shopkeeper of the Tianlong pawnshop was brought to Shen Song by them on the spot, Shen Song took back the jade pendant, and did not immediately hand it over to Fang Xuanling, but inquired about the name and residence of the jade pendant, and then sent more than 30 officials to arrest Li Hao, he didn't want to make a big fuss, just wanted to invite a merit, in his opinion, he was the head of a house, and it was not a sure thing to deal with a thief.

Since Li Hao received the three hundred guan sent by the shopkeeper of Tianlong pawnshop, the big wooden box was filled with copper coins, which was eight hundred guan, and now he had the confidence to do anything, and expanded the chicken farm again, and found two villagers to help him raise chickens, and Jin became the head of chicken raising.

Summer is finally coming to an end, and the weather is not as hot as before, Li Hao was in a good mood, moved a recliner and lay down under the big tree in the courtyard to enjoy the cool, fanning the crane feather fan he made, how comfortable it is to be so comfortable, he suddenly felt that it was good to lie down like this in this life, this is a symptom of lazy cancer, and it must be treated.

He was refreshed, and suddenly there were screams and noises in the front yard, which disturbed his good mood, and he was muttering who was so short-sighted, when he saw the porter Wang San running in with a frightened face, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he shouted in a panic: "Old ...... Ah no, young master, it's terrible, there are a lot of officials outside, saying that they are here to find you! ”

"Official? Looking for me? Li Hao blinked a few times quickly, and after thinking about it carefully, he seemed to be very stable recently, and he didn't have any dealings with the government.

Just when he was wondering, he saw a large group of uniformed yacha break into the courtyard, the leader of the man was tall and strong, with a black face and a beard, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Li Hao on the recliner, and shouted and asked: "You are Li Hao?" ”

Li Hao stood up and bowed: "It's Li Hao below, what advice do you have from the officials?" ”

"Locked!" The beard didn't have any extra nonsense at all, and with a big move, he issued this order, and two people immediately ran out behind him, holding chains and shackles and rushing towards Li Hao.

Li Hao was taken aback, and hurriedly took two steps back and exclaimed: "Wait a minute, why are you taking me?" ”

"Less nonsense!" The bearded man didn't bother to explain to him at all, and said in a fierce voice, "You'll know when you get to our Jingzhao Mansion!" ”

"Jingzhao Mansion?" Li Hao was shocked, when did he provoke Jingzhao Mansion? Am I doing something? It shouldn't be, I've been staying at home obediently since I came to Lantian, and the most excessive thing I've done is just to pit Fang Yiai's love for a piece of jade pendant, even if it's because of this, I won't send Jingzhao Mansion to arrest me?

He wanted to resist very much, but he knew that it was futile, the other party was the government, and if he resisted, he would resist arrest, and the consequences would be serious.

Just when he flipped around, the two yacha had already arrived in front of him, and Li Hao cooperated and stretched out his hand to let them put on shackles.
