Chapter 356: Thunder Catcher
Chapter 356 Thunder Catcher.
The sweltering heat continued, but it didn't rain.
Bao Zheng and the others were originally going to go to Duanzhou first, and after a secret private visit, they would go to Duanzhou Prefecture to take over everything, but when they just came to the city gate, Bao Zheng was recognized, after all, people as black as him are really hard to find in this Great Song Dynasty.
The person who came to greet Bao Zheng was five big and three thick, looking at his appearance, about forty years old, wearing the clothes of catching heads, followed by dozens of fast catchers, very majestic, after receiving Bao Zheng's carriage, the man immediately knelt down with a group of fast catchers behind him, and said: "The subordinate is the head catcher Lei Xingtian of Duanzhou Prefecture, and he is here to greet Lord Bao." ”
Lei Xingtian knelt down with those who caught the fast brush, and the people nearby scattered one after another, and as soon as they inquired about Bao Zheng and Bao Qingtian, they all wanted to step forward to see if Bao Zheng was really dark.
Bao Zheng seemed quite helpless for a while in this situation, and he had to help Lei Xingtian up and said: "Lei Xingtian has worked hard, let's go back to the state office!" ”
Lei Zhutou gave the order, led the way in front, and led Bao Zheng and them to the state office.
After coming to the state office, Lei Zhutou and the civil officials of the state government began to hand over everything in the state government to Bao Zheng, such as the tax bills, and the list of officials in several counties under Duanzhou, and of course, some customs and customs of Duanzhou.
These things are considered confidential, so people who are not from the state government can't listen to it, Hua Lang, Wen Meng and others are bored, so they just walk around in the state government to have a look, and at this time, Liu Yi and his brothers are looking for a place to live.
Hualang didn't want to live in an inn for the time being, and they didn't have so much spare money to buy a house to live in, so they lived in the state government for the time being.
When they were walking back and forth in the state office, they found that there was a group of catchers playing there in the garden, and Hua Lang and the others were not familiar with them for a while, so they didn't go to join in the excitement, but just watched from the sidelines.
But soon, they found that there was a contradiction between those catchers, one of the burly catchers who could be described as fat beat the other catchers, and the other catchers stood aside and didn't dare to say much, and the beaten catchers paused on the ground, and they didn't dare to have any complaints.
The beaten catcher was very thin and looked pitiful, Wen Meng saw this, and he couldn't stand it, so he was going to stand up for the catcher, but at this time, Hua Lang suddenly stopped Wen Meng, smiled faintly, and said: "The matter hasn't been figured out yet, why are you in such a hurry, wait and see." ”
Wen Meng was very unconvinced by Hua Lang's situation, but after the most disappointment, she still listened to Hua Lang's words, and waited, after all, she was no longer a child, even if Bao Zheng supported her here, she had to weigh it, what kind of place was this.
The group of catchers seemed to be insulting the beaten catcher, and after they finished insulting, their catchers left with a smile, and the beaten catcher slowly got up from the ground, and looked like he was leaving.
At this time, Hua Lang made a gesture to Wen Meng and them, and then they swarmed to meet them, and the beaten catcher was suddenly surrounded by Hua Lang and several of them, a little scared, and hurriedly asked, "You...... Who are you? ”
Hearing this, Hualang and the others were a little suspicious, is this person a fast catcher, in the state government, his territory, he is so afraid, how did he become a fast catcher?
Before Hua Lang could explain, Na Catcher suddenly came to his senses and said, "Oh, I remember, you are those people who came with Lord Zhizhou!" ”
Hua Lang nodded: "That's right, we are following Lord Bao, what is your name, what are those people beating you for?" ”
Catch fast was a little hesitant, and said later: "My name is Chen Chen, I am the fast catcher here, they don't beat me for anything, we are just joking." After Chen Chen finished speaking, he was about to leave, but how could Hua Lang let him leave, Hua Lang smiled faintly: "They are bullying you, if you don't want to say it, let's go to that fat catcher and ask, I think he must be happy to tell us why he beat you." ”
When Chen Chen heard this, he immediately shook his hand in a panic: "Don't ask him, you asked him, and he was going to beat me again." ”
"So you're willing to say it?"
Chen Chen was a little helpless, nodded and said, "I'll tell you, but you must not go to Brother Hu to talk about it, I will suffer if I say it." ”
The tiger brother in Chen Chen's mouth must be the fat catcher, Hua Lang looked at Chen Chen and nodded: "This is natural." ”
Then, Chen Chen began his own narrative.
"Brother Tiger is the son of Lei Xingtian, the head catcher, he is a tyrant in our state government, we are all afraid of him, and other catchers play well with him, I am not favored by Brother Tiger because I am thin and thin, and I am often bullied by him."
After listening to Chen Chen's words, Wen Meng suddenly became angry and said: "That Lei Hu is too domineering, do you think that your father is a head catcher, see how I teach him." ”
As soon as Wen Meng's words were finished, Chen Chen hurriedly stopped: "Don't, you are Lord Bao's people, he doesn't dare to do anything to you, but you helped me out of my anger, and I was the one who was beaten after the worst, forget it!" ”
"He dares!" Yin Wuzi is also a little unbearable.
And at this time, Hua Lang smiled faintly: "Since Chen Zhuai doesn't want us to find trouble, then forget it." ”
Chen Chen was very grateful to Hua Lang, so he said a few more words, and then left in a hurry.
After Chen Chen left, Hua Lang suddenly said with some anger: "This Lei Hu is so arrogant in the state government, it must be relying on the power of thunder, and it is not a good thing to have this person in the county government." ”
When everyone saw Hua Lang suddenly like this, they realized that what they just said was just a lie to Chen Chen, they wanted to deal with Lei Hu, but they had to use another method, it was impossible to find him and beat him, if this was the case, even Bao Zheng might not be able to protect them.
At this time, Wen Meng seemed a little excited, and asked, "Have you thought of a way to teach Lei Hu a lesson?" ”
The corners of Hua Lang's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "This is natural, I am the most experienced in dealing with this kind of person." ”
Hua Lang whispered in the ears of Wen Meng and the others, after Wen Meng and the others listened, they were a little skeptical, and Wen Meng even asked, "Will he be fooled?" ”
Hua Lang smiled: "Definitely, people like him, the most unaccustomed to others not taking him seriously, will do what I say later, I guarantee that he will be fooled, as long as he is fooled, everything will be easy to say." ”
After listening to Hua Lang's words, Wen Meng and the others had no choice but to nod, and when they nodded, they felt that if Lei Hu could really be fooled by doing this, then Hua Lang's trick would be too damaging, but because it was a lesson to Lei Hu, although they felt that it was a loss, they were happy to do it.
