Seeing that a few people were silent, Li Jiejie smiled and said, "What's the happy event today?" It's rare for people to gather so together. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

The sick lieutenant Chi was a little absent-minded: "It's nothing, it's just getting together." ”

"The so-called meeting is better than a coincidence, since the heads are so together, come, brothers toast you a cup. After this glass of wine, I should go out and get busy, and in a few days, I will invite you back when I have time. ”

"How dare you let the section level break the cost!"

As several people spoke, they raised their glasses and drank a glass of wine with Li Jiejie.

Putting the cup down, Li Jiejie stood up and bowed his hand to the sick lieutenant: "Brother has an errand on his side, so he can't delay here longer, so I'll leave." Where you can't get it, you guys have a sea or two! ”

The sick lieutenant Chi took his brothers to stand up and send them off, and watched Li Jiejie slowly walk out of the chaimen.

As soon as Li Jiejie left, Xu Er, who didn't have a caterpillar, said: "I didn't expect Zhang Xianggong to form this good fate before his death, so the Zhang family will not be provoked." It's just yesterday's incident, I don't know if that Zhang Shishilang will hold a grudge. ”

He didn't move a finger, but he was just startled. That Twelve Lang is not a three-year-old child, can't he be scared! I don't believe it, will we arrest our brother in prison for such a trivial matter! ”

An open-minded man next to him said with a big grin while holding a chicken leg and nibbling on it.

The sick lieutenant did not change his face, and said to everyone: "This makes sense, you brothers don't have to be afraid, we didn't touch that Zhang Twelve Lang's cold hair." It's just that when a new official takes office, he always has to make some trouble, be vigilant, and don't make trouble recently! ”

The crowd agreed in an uproar and continued to sit down to drink wine and eat meat.

Li Jiejie walked out of the chaimen, swayed around the corner of the street, and crossed his hand to Li Zhongji, who was waiting there: "Dutou, the little one has already checked and understood, and a few idlers who followed the sick lieutenant Chi Ming are all in the garden, and there has never been one missing!" ”

"Okay, if this thing is done, you will take the first credit!" Li Zhongji patted Li Jiejie on the shoulder and turned around to beckon for people. "The little ones cheered up and followed me into the garden to arrest people. Remember, don't run away, you have to see people in life, and you have to see corpses in death! ”

All the soldiers agreed in an uproar, took out the weapons they had hidden, and followed Li Zhongji to the vegetable garden.

When he arrived at the garden gate, Li Zhongji drank violently, kicked down the chaimen, and rushed in.

The sick lieutenant Chi and his brothers were drinking wine and eating meat, and they were happy, and they were startled by these people who rushed in, and they couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Li Zhongji led people to rush straight to the front of everyone and shouted: "You murderers, you usually cheat and abduct and disturb the place, but now that the incident has happened, if you don't want to die, you will honestly follow me back to the county office!" ”

Before the words fell, the soldiers who followed behind had already taken out the hemp rope.

The sick lieutenant stood up with delay and said in a loud voice: "Dutou, dare to ask us what we have committed?" Then you will bring people to the door to fight and kill! Our brothers live on this vegetable garden, and they are all first-class good citizens! ”

"Tie up, tie up, talk in front of the county magistrate!" Li Zhongji just waved his hand again and again, ignoring Wei Chi at all.

At this time, the sick lieutenant Chi had already seen that he was not good, and then remembered that Li Jiejie had come strangely just now, why didn't he understand?

Looking around, several of his brothers were still in a daze, and in a blink of an eye, they were held down by the soldiers who came. The sick lieutenant Chi saw the opportunity, shouted, kicked the wine and meat on the ground away, and took advantage of the chaos to run towards the Luo River not far away.

Most sections of the Luo River have no embankments, and there are large areas of wasteland on the river beaches, and once you get there, you have a chance to escape.

Li Zhongji stretched out his hand and said loudly: "Take my bow!" ”

An entourage hurriedly took off the bow on his back, put it in Li Zhongji's hand, and took three more arrows and handed them over.

Li Zhongji took the bow in his hand, bent the bow and set up the arrow, aimed at the sick lieutenant Chi who was running in front, and with the sound of the bowstring, an arrow whistled straight towards the sick Chi and hit his buttocks.

"All good arrows!" The soldiers clapped their hands and cheered.

Li Zhongji grabbed the bow and said to the soldiers: "Come two people, go up and tie up that guy." ”

Two sturdy soldiers jumped out, carried waist knives, ran all the way to the place where the sick lieutenant had fallen to the ground, grabbed his hands, and pushed and shoved them in front of Li Zhongji.

The sick lieutenant swallowed the pain coming from his buttocks, and said to Li Zhongji: "Why do you want to kill them all like this? Our brother is just begging for food, and there is no great evil. Moreover, there are benefits in the past, and there is no shortage of the first share. ”

Li Zhongji raised his hand and smashed it in the face of the sick lieutenant Chi, knocked out his two front teeth, and shouted: "Are you crazy from this killing?" Run off at the mouth! In the past, he was abducted and deceived in the market, and how many good people were harmed, and he dared to say that there was no great evil! Now that the new transfer envoy has taken office, he wants to calm the royal city, how can you city fox society rats be allowed to disturb the place! ”

After speaking, Li Zhongji waved his hand: "It's all tied, don't run away!" Take them all back to the Yamen! ”

Henan County Ya, Tao Zhi County let Tan Hu and Zhang Liping into the Xiaohua Hall, and said with a smile on their faces: "The two of you just have to rest assured, the county's inspection has gone out to arrest people, and the thieves will definitely not be able to leave!" ”

"That's the best." Tan Hu sat down on the seat, "This is Zhang Shishilang from the former Prime Minister Zhang Xianggong's mansion, who was robbed during the day not far from Tianjin Bridge yesterday. Because the matter involved the three shops, the relationship was not small, and the officials asked Zai Xia to go to the county government to ask what these people were thinking about and wanted to take over the chores in the shop. ”

Tao Zhixian didn't expect that these things were still involved behind him, and he couldn't help complaining in his heart, the people sent by Henan Mansion were unclear, and he thought it was just a personal grudge. If it involves the business of the three shops, it is even more impossible to be sloppy. The Sansi Yamen is not strong in the court of the capital, and that is because they can't control the bachelors and ministers in the court, and they are different locally. Theoretically speaking, the money and grain in the world are all managed by the three divisions, and most of the money and food left in the local area are money-saving goods, and the local government keeps them instead of the three divisions. Most of the assessments of local officials involve the three divisions, which really can't be offended at all.

The shop of the three divisions is valued by the three divisions, and it has privileges in the local area, and the local government does not dare to provoke it. Now that someone dares to fight their idea, is it worth it?

Fortunately, I arranged it properly, and I couldn't leave the gang of thieves, so I finally had an explanation.

When the sun set in the west, Li Zhongji led people to escort the sick lieutenant Chi and his group back to the county office. He already had a guess in his heart that the matter was likely to be related to these people, and as soon as he got his hands on it, he hurried back to the yamen.

Knowing that Tao Zhixian was receiving guests from the Yamen of the transfer envoy in the county Yaxiaohua Hall, Li Zhongji hurriedly came. Entered the flower hall and sang a promise: "Shangguan, the little one was ordered to go out to arrest the thieves on both sides of the Luo River, and today I caught the sick Wei Chi and his gang in the vegetable garden near Tianjin Bridge, and they are rampant in the market on weekdays, and the crime is not small." Now that I have gotten to the yamen, none of them have escaped, so please ask the officials to interrogate. ”

Tao Zhixian looked at Tan Hu and Zhang Liping with blank eyes, just hoping that he had caught the right person this time.

Tan Hu knew that Yu Chi Gong was a fierce general in the Tang Dynasty, how did he know what the sick Wei Chi was? asked Zhang Liping: "I offended Twelve Lang yesterday, I don't know what this gang is called?" ”

"Yes, it's them. This group of people is dedicated to evil in the market near Tianjin Bridge, and I work in the Sansi shop and know them. When I went home after doing my work yesterday, it was they who blocked my way, and Brother Qing in the shop also said that they wanted to take the work. ”

Hearing this, Tao Zhixian breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time secretly scolded Henan Mansion for being negligent. has been so famous and surnamed, where can I still use the teacher to mobilize the public, and I can easily get it back. It's good now, the cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods on both sides of the Luo River are unlucky with these people. If the news spreads, the government will not punish the crime, and the sick lieutenant will not be able to get along in Luoyang if he goes out late.

Li Zhongji was already overjoyed, and he did this by himself, which would surely be of great benefit to the county's worries.

Tao Zhixian relaxed in his heart, and said to Tan Hu and Zhang Liping: "If you have nothing to do, why don't you go to the front with me to interrogate this group of thieves?" Let's see what these people have in mind to dare to do such a bad thing. ”

"How does this work? The magistrate is trying the case, how can we outsiders disturb on the side. ”

Tan Hu said that this was not good, but he pulled Zhang Liping to stand up, clearly wanting to follow. Before leaving, Xu Ping explained clearly, and he must find out what the purpose of these troublemakers is to take care of the chores of the three shops, so as not to be caught by anyone if there are any loopholes in the shop. These shops are Xu Ping's promotion to all states and counties on Jingxi Road within a year, and if there are loopholes, they must be plugged quickly, so as not to cause a big incident in the future.

The structure of the county-level yamen is simple, and there are few officials, so naturally they do not pay attention to the division of the department. In general, cases are interrogated by the county magistrate or county lieutenant, and the decision is made by oneself below the cane punishment, and the cane punishment is sent to the state capital above the cane punishment. Basically, all civil cases are handled, and criminal cases are sent to the state level, and there is no authority to hear and adjudicate cases.

When the sick lieutenant Chi and his gang came down to Henan Mansion to say that it was a robbery case, Tao Zhixian only made a preliminary question, and did not have the authority to try it, so the case still had to be sent to Henan Mansion.

When he arrived at the official hall, Tao Zhixian sat behind the case, let Tan Hu and Zhang Liping sit on the guest seat and watch, and let Li Zhongji bring the criminal up.

The arrow on the sick lieutenant's buttocks had been pulled out, and a large piece of flesh had been taken away, and the pain was unbearable, and he didn't know how bad it was. This time it was really an unwarranted disaster, and I suffered this suffering for no reason.

When he arrived in the hall, Li Zhongji raised a foot and kicked the sick lieutenant to the ground: "Diao Min, when you see the county governor, why don't you kneel?!" ”

Tao Zhixian coughed and asked Zhang Liping on the side: "Twelve Lang, did you see this gang of robbers yesterday?" ”

Zhang Liping nodded: "Yes, it's them." ”

Hearing this, where did the sick lieutenant Chi not know what was going on? I couldn't hold back anymore, and shouted loudly: "We stopped you yesterday and just said a few words, and we didn't move a finger on you, let alone ask you for money, why did you treat me like this?!" (To be continued.) )
