Director Chen looked at Director Zheng who was angry, and was taken aback, and he didn't know how he, who had been thinking about calming things, could come forward to stop him at this time. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoWhether this thing is true or not, it obviously has nothing to do with me.

Director Chen stepped forward and whispered: "The matter has come to this, why bother to make extraneous branches? Let a sleeping dog lie. ”

Director Zheng shook his head: "You don't know, this matter is suspicious, you can't let people go like this." ”

"Do you still think that Sun Erlang is a thief's eyeliner?"

Director Zheng lowered his voice and said, "Whether it is a thief's eyeliner or not, you can't let it go." If so, then there is a good chance that these three big men will be in the same party, and they will use this excuse to ask people to go back. That kid already knows our details, let him go back to the trap of the thief? If not, how can you and I bear to watch a child fall into the mouth of a tiger? ”

Director Chen's heart moved, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that what Director Zheng said made sense, and asked in a low voice, "Then what should I do?" ”

"Go out and get our men and take them down. In the post house opposite, there is Deputy Envoy Xu, whether it is in Kaifeng Mansion or Jingxi Road, he is not weak, he can make decisions for us, he is not afraid of anything! ”

Hearing this, Director Chen nodded: "I'll come when I go, you wait here." ”

The three big men grabbed Sun Erlang, they were overjoyed, and they were about to turn around and leave, when they saw Director Zheng and Director Chen muttering there, one shouted not to let people go, and the other person came out of the shop from the other side, and couldn't help but be suspicious.

The big man in the middle said to Director Zheng: "That black-bearded man, did you say you wouldn't let us go?" What do you rely on? ”

Director Zheng said in a deep voice: "Take people in front of our eyes, who knows if you are thieves who abduct and sell children?" said that it was an errand officer from Heyin County, so take out the official document, otherwise if it is a thief pretending, won't we be implicated if we leave you? Wait here, go and call the prison town of Octagon to come and speak! ”

"This eyeless thief man dares to say such a thing! Big brother, it's better to take him together, take him back to Heyin County, let us take care of it, and see if he dares to talk nonsense! ”

Hearing the brothers beside him say cruel words without scruples, the man in the middle was silent. Heyin, a small county with less than 2,000 households, has no status in Mengzhou, let alone Kaifeng Prefecture in Gyeonggi. It's not good to hit the iron plate, it's really impossible to eat and walk around.

After being silent for a while, the man in the middle said: "Business matters, we don't care about these idlers!" Let's go, taking advantage of the right time, we went to find a boat on the Bianhe River and went all the way back to Heyin County. ”

After speaking, he grabbed Sun Erlang's neck in his hand and was about to take someone away.

At this moment, dozens of people suddenly gathered outside, half of them were armed with knives and guns, and they blocked the way of the three of them like a vicious look.

The three big men were taken aback and asked tremblingly, "Who is it?" Why are you standing in my way? ”

A third division general stepped forward from the crowd, looked the three of them up and down, and shouted: "I asked you who you are, dare to do anything here!" Name, where is home, report it honestly one by one! ”

A fierce-looking man pulled his throat and said: "We are the dukes of Heyin County, and we have come to Bajiao Town on business at the behest of the county order!" Whoever you are, get out of the way! ”

"The duke of Heyin County? Straight lady thief, you ran to Kaifeng Mansion to spread wild, what about the official document, take it out and let me see it! ”

The three of them looked at each other and were silent. There is no official document at all for this errand, and the county order is as fine as a monkey, how can such a controversial matter fall into the hands of others? If it weren't for that, as soon as the three of them arrived at the place, they would first go to the prison town to find an important person, how could they go around outside? As soon as they said that they wanted official documents, their hearts were half cold.

Seeing this, Zheng Jiang remembered Director Chen's words, and first regarded these three people as thieves. waved his hand and said to the person behind him: "Come, go up and ask these three to go with us to the yamen of the prison town, and the affairs of the officials will be done!" ”

At that moment, a few box soldiers came up, and they surrounded them with waist knives in their hands.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the three of them couldn't take care of Sun Erlang, so they hurriedly raised their hands and said: "This section level, we are indeed the public servants in Heyin County, and we came out in a hurry this time, and we didn't bring official documents with us." If you want to go to the Yamen, we will go with you, swords and guns have no eyes, don't hurt the good people by mistake! ”

The general glanced at the surrounding Xiang army and sneered a few times.

Several box soldiers came to him, and one by one they pulled Sun Erlang over, cut his arms upside down, and firmly grasped them in their hands. The other people stretched out their legs and feet, kicked the three of them to the ground, pointed the knives and guns in their hands at their chests, and scolded in their mouths: "Straight mother thief, a few thieves with thousands of knives, dare to make trouble with us Qiao at this time!" Let's catch it back, go down with a board, I'm not afraid that you won't move! The public travels through the state and the county to run errands, and there is no official document, when we are all stupid? How many years have the brothers been in the Third Division, and they have done more errands than any other Heyin County has passed through for decades, and they have pretended to be in front of us and blinded your dogs! ”

Looking at the bright swords and guns in front of them, the three big men were frightened, and after a while, the big man in the middle asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you?" Dare to use knives and guns on the official road! ”

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and they were about to say to Supervisor Chen beside him: "Director, see if these thieves are dead!" Grabbed our door and didn't even know what we did! ”

The box army in front of the man raised his leg and kicked him: "You cheap bone, tell you about it, so as not to be a fool when you get to!" We are the team of the three divisions to deliver goods to Xijing Henan Mansion, along the way, the soldiers and horses of all the states and counties must obey the dispatch to protect the goods, you thieves are dizzy, and they came to us! ”

"Misunderstanding! It's really a misunderstanding! "Hearing this, the man on the ground knew what he had done, crying and screaming to hit the sky." The three of us are really not thieves, we are the dukes of Heyin County! This is to hunt down the recently fled households, and there is no intention of robbing the house! Section, Director, you need to find out! ”

"This thief knows that he is robbing the house and is still there to complain, and the skin on his body must be tight!" The general smiled at Director Chen beside him, "Let's catch it back, I brought a military staff with me on this trip, and I will see what they say after eating dozens of kills!" ”

Xi Qing watched from the side, only to feel dazzled, I don't know how things became like this, and it took a while to sort out the clue of things. walked up to Director Zheng's side and whispered, "Director, in my opinion, these people may not really be thieves. Erlang told me yesterday that their family did escape from Heyin County, and it is not good to say that these people are really the public of Heyin County, and they chased them out to take people? ”

Director Zheng also had a little faith in his heart, and he thought more than he thought of it happily. This year, there was a severe drought in several counties in Mengzhou and Henan Prefecture, and even the Yellow River was diverted, and the drought situation can be imagined. Although the imperial court exempted the taxes there, and the money and grain for disaster relief were distributed, the Yellow River was not as good as other places. Even if they don't die of hunger, they still face the errand of repairing the river embankment in the late autumn and winter, and people often flee in peaceful years, not to mention the disaster now.

As long as the formalities are completed, neither the government nor the employer has the power to stop them, and they can only use other means to lure them back. However, the assessment of officials is closely related to the number of household registrations, and this year is a leap year, which is the year of fabricating the intercalary yearbook for revision, which is particularly sensitive. The population of Heyin County is not large, and if it suddenly falls from the middle county to the middle and lower counties because of the flight of households, the career of this county will be very bleak in the future.

For the sake of his own career, Director Zheng also thought that the county would inevitably block the procedures for population relocation, and then try to catch the fugitives back. This thing can't be done openly, and when the official document goes to a nearby state or county, it is also a troublesome matter for things to make trouble all of a sudden, so it is better to do it in an unprocedural way.

This kind of thing is not strange in the officialdom, as long as there is no trouble, the nearby government will also turn a blind eye, and there is no need to offend colleagues for the sake of a few people. These few people are used to doing it, so they don't die, and they hit the team of the three divisions to arrest people, and this time they can be regarded as going out with the disaster star on their backs.

If you think about it, you can't give up halfway at this time, you must treat these three people as thieves, otherwise today's things will be difficult to explain. For the sake of a few errand servants who captured the fugitives, it was impossible to say that it was unreasonable.

Pulling Xiqing to his side, Director Zheng whispered: "Don't panic, as long as what Sun Erlang said is true, the matter has nothing to do with him, maybe it's a good thing to him!" ”

Puzzled, he asked, "How can it be a good thing?" He's been caught! ”

Director Zheng smiled slightly: "Now that the people have fallen into the hands of our people, as long as it is finally verified, these errand officers have no official documents to leave the country to get people, at least a board is indispensable." And after this incident, where in Heyin County dare to send people out again? Sun Erlang's family, no one stopped them wherever they wanted to go. ”

Xiqing suddenly realized that he put down his heart to bring up Sun Erlang's situation.

This is already Octagon Town, and there are many big villages around to recruit people, as long as no one is chasing them, it is not difficult for their family to find a place to make a living. This year, there are suddenly more new granges in Kaifeng Mansion, there is a shortage of manpower everywhere, and the parents are in the prime of life, and how many places are rushing to ask for it.

Xiang Jun tied up the three of them, pushed them in front of the general, and asked, "Jiejie, how to deal with these people?" ”

Zheng Jiang looked at Director Chen beside him, thought for a while, and said: "There is Deputy Envoy Xu and his party living in the post house opposite, let's not go to the prison town here first, and see what the deputy envoy says." When you are told, you will do it again! (To be continued.) )
