The county seat of Zhuji was still a little deserted, except for some pedestrians who were selling early or going out in a hurry, almost no one else got up so early. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info Yang Zhen came to a seemingly simple tea stall in the south of the city at this time.

He ordered a plate of steamed buns and a pot of tea, and sat down at a wooden table next to the entrance to the tea shed. Of course, Yang Zhen didn't come just to have breakfast, but to connect with a Jinyi Wei secret agent hidden in Zhuji County.

Jinyiwei has always acted secretly, even Tang Feng has now become a thousand households in Zhejiang, and he can't accurately find out which Jinyi spies are inserted in a certain place. However, before coming to Zhuji, Tang Feng told Yang Zhen a code to contact them, as long as at this time, in front of this small tea stall, someone would come to meet him.

I saw that after Yang Zhen served tea to the other party, he took four more cups, and put two of them on the table, one in front of him, and one on the opposite side. Then two cups of tea were poured, one at hand and one in the middle of the table. Only then did he slowly eat the buns and drink the tea.

The strange way of placing this cup is a tea array. It used to be a code word created by some gangs in the rivers and lakes to contact their brothers, but it was later used by Jinyiwei in the past. Of course, the tea array arrangement and solution of each family are different, and it is not dangerous to recognize the wrong person.

Because it was still early, Yang Zhen was eating breakfast while listening to some early people chatting about the idle days. All the people care about is the harvest in front of them, the weather, and occasionally some gossip about the affairs of men and women, although there is no news that Yang Zhen cares about, but it is more interesting.

"This thief, last year was quite smooth, but there has been little rain since May this year. It's almost June, and if there are no more heavy rains, this year will be dry. ”

"Who's to say it's not. I went outside the city the day before yesterday and found that the water in Puyang was several points shallow. If we really catch up with the drought, we will not be able to escape the hard times. ”

Yang Zhen, who was listening to them talk about a possible drought, suddenly stared at him and saw an acquaintance, who was actually Wei Yong, the leader of the yamen. And he also saw Yang Zhen who was sitting alone under the shed drinking tea at a glance, and just wanted to come up to say hello, but suddenly his eyes fell on the tea array on Yang Zhen's table, and his face looked a little solemn.

"Huh?" Yang Zhen also felt different, but it was too late to pack up these things for a while, could it be that Wei Bantou saw some clues?

Wei Yong came to sit down opposite Yang Zhen without a sound, but he didn't greet the tea stall owner, nor did he drink the tea in front of him, but reached out and took the teacup in front of Yang Zhen, and then poured the tea in the cup in front of him, and drank it all. Only then did he look at Yang Zhen and wait for his reaction.

When Yang Zhen saw his moves, the look of vigilance on his face had disappeared, but what followed was surprise: "It turns out that Wei Bantou is actually his own person." This series of actions made by Wei Yong is exactly the method of dissolving the tea array to show his identity.

"You're from Hangzhou?" Wei Yong saw that Yang Zhen had not spoken, but asked a little breathlessly.

"Exactly." Yang Zhen had recovered from his surprise at this moment. In fact, it makes sense to say that Wei Yong is Jinyiwei's secret agent in Zhuji County, after all, Jinyiwei has always had the responsibility of supervising officials, and the identity of the people is naturally not successful, only when he is in the public gate can he see the problem more clearly.

"Yang Zhen tried 100 households in 1000 households in Xiajin Yiwei Zhejiang, dare to ask you?" Yang Zhen then reported his identity and asked.

"Captain of the Jinyi Guard, Wei Yong." When reporting his identity, Wei Yong always felt that something was wrong, and in the blink of an eye, he became a subordinate from Yang Zhen's top boss.

"I'm here to track down the White Lotus Sect bandits, and I hope you can cooperate with me in the future." Yang Zhen smiled, the identity of this own person is really good. He was worried about fighting alone in the county yamen, and he couldn't think of how to send people into the yamen, but someone sent a pillow when he was dozing off.

"That's it?" Wei Yong glanced at Yang Zhen rather playfully and asked.

"Of course, there is more to this than this now, Wei Bantou should know what my intentions are." Yang Zhen smiled and said, the two of them spoke very softly, and while drinking tea, it was like two acquaintances meeting and chatting in the morning, but it would not attract the attention of others.

"It's not easy to do. You have been in the county government for a few days, and you can see that we are just some of us who follow orders, and it is the three adults who are in charge. ”

"Some things have to be tried before you die, don't you? Otherwise, I wouldn't have entered the yamen, and I wouldn't have come here today. Yang Zhen looked directly at Wei Yong in front of him: "They were wrong about this, and we can't ignore it as the eyes and ears of the imperial court." ”

Seeing that Yang Zhen actually used a big hat to oppress people, Wei Yong smiled bitterly: "Wanting to manage and being able to manage are two different things. There have been several governors who have done things against them before, but the result is that they have lost their official positions and resigned. I don't think you want that to happen to Brother Ling. You and I are just catching fast, maybe it's more convenient to find out the news, but the rest is really not enough. ”

"Of course I know this, and I don't want you to stand up and fight them. I just want you to promise me that as soon as you have the opportunity, you will join forces with me and my brother as the team leader. ”

Under Yang Zhen's scorching gaze, under the pressure of his official position, Wei Yong had no choice but to nod his head in agreement. But he was still a little unimpressed by this in his heart, thinking that he had always been like this before, could Yang Zhen really find any opportunities?

But he obviously didn't listen to a word from the afterlife, and opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Because on this very day, the opportunity was already in front of them.

"Knock knock ......"

When Yang Zhen came to the gate of the county yamen one step earlier, he saw a large group of people gathered at the gate of the yamen, and a man was still holding a drumstick and beating the drum at the gate of the county ya. This sudden incident quickly attracted the attention of many people, and in just a few moments, the front of the yamen was already surrounded by onlookers on the inside and outside three floors.

Because of the influence of some costume films in later generations, everyone thought that it was easy to go to the county government to beat the drum and complain. But the fact is the opposite, the average county government can't beat the drum a few times a year. Only when there is a civil uprising or a murder is a major case, people are allowed to beat the drum and voice their grievances without being punished. And after hearing the drums, the county magistrate had to dress up and try the case in the lobby.

If you dare to beat the drum and voice your grievances in an ordinary small case, no matter whether you are justified or not, you will be held accountable, and you will be held accountable for dozens of large boards, wearing heavy wooden shackles and showing the public in front of the county yamen for a period of time. If it is heavy, it is likely that he will be sentenced to exile, and his life will be completely over.

It is precisely because the drum of grievances rarely sounds once a year, so this time someone in front of the county government beat the drum to sound grievances, which really attracted many surrounding people. One by one, they stood on tiptoe and craned their necks to look that way, just trying to figure out as soon as possible what was going on and what was going on and that needed to beat the drums.

Of course, this does not mean that the county magistrate will continue to be cased, in fact, ordinary cases still have to be decided as county orders. Generally speaking, on the fifth, fifteenth, and twenty-fifth days of each month, the magistrate of the county allowed the people to pass the pleadings into the yamen, and then disposed of as appropriate.

However, Zhuji County is slightly different from other places, and these prison matters are generally decided by the canonical history, but there is no need to work for the county master.

However, today's sudden sound of the drum of grievances made it impossible for Xuan Chuang to rush to judge the case on his behalf, because the imperial court had a clear order that once the drum of grievances sounded, no matter what the magistrate was doing, he must first put aside and ask the case. Even if you're just halfway through the latrine, you have to stand up first and take care of the case.

When the unspoken rules meet the explicit rules, it is not an opponent after all.

The sound of drums soon alarmed the people in the yamen, and a group of yacha armed with water and fire sticks quickly rushed out, and while driving the crowd of onlookers crowded in front of the door outward, they brought the people involved in.

Yang Zhen, who was mixed in the crowd, saw a familiar tall figure who was also mixed in the crowd at this time - Cai Yingyang! I saw that at this moment, his whole body was tied with ropes, and he was pushed and stumbled into the gate of the county government in embarrassment.

"What's going on? How could Ying Yang get a big case when he went home? Yang Zhen was puzzled, and he didn't want to be blocked by others, so he used his arms to push away everyone on the way forward and walked straight to the yamen.

When Yang Zhen finally squeezed out of the crowd and walked into the county office, he heard a mighty sound coming from the lobby, and at the same time, he also saw the classic history Xuanchuang who was standing outside the lobby with a gloomy face.

When the drums sounded, Yang Chen walked up to the officials in full dress and ordered them to bring people into the lobby to try the case, Xuan Chuang was powerless to oppose for a while. In the end, he had to pinch his nose and let Yang Chen give orders, while he himself stood outside the hall to see how things developed.

When Yang Zhen saw this, he was overjoyed. It seems that my brother is also a person who is always ready, and once the opportunity arises, he will never let it go.

But at this moment, Yang Zhen didn't care too much about this, but was more concerned about Cai Yingyang, who was brought into the lobby for interrogation, and he wanted to know what was going on.

Seeing Yang Zhen coming, Xuan Chuang snorted: "Why did you come to the Yamen at this time?" Don't think that if you are the brother of the county honor, you can ignore the county government system. Obviously, he wanted to sprinkle the frustration just now on Yang Zhen's head.

Yang Zhen said with a smile: "It was Wei Bantou who sent me to do something, it's too late, and I hope you will forgive me." ”

"I hope you don't just find a reason to prevaricate the official, otherwise ......" Seeing that he had a legitimate reason, Xuan Chuang couldn't attack for a while, so he had to say a threat.

Since Wei Yong is his own person, Yang Zhen naturally doesn't worry about this. He focused his attention on the lobby to see how much trouble Cai Yingyang had encountered.
