Chapter 37 You Are Crazy, Old Man
Chapter 37 Old guy, you are quite crazy~
In Chang'an City, on Dongmen Street between Changxingfang and Qinrenfang...
On the street, pedestrians gathered around to watch the excitement from time to time, but were quickly chased away by people wearing official uniforms~
In the tavern, the door was closed, and a fat man with red eyebrows and a slender face, wearing an official uniform and an earless crown on his head, was sitting on a horizontal chair with a sinister look on his face.
On the side, there was a slave who was beaten with a bruised nose and face, lying on the ground wailing, and the eight maids who were trembling with fear and huddled in a pile.
A maidservant, with tears streaming down her face, hid in a corner and asked the sisters holding her arms in fear: "Master, will you come?"
The woman also trembled and said in a trembling voice: "Yes, yes... I'll come. Brother Da Mao has already gone to report the news."
Pa~
Another stick fell hard on Si Mao, who was lying on the table. The pain made Si Mao clenched his teeth and couldn't help but moan hoarsely in pain, but he still held the table in front of his chest tightly, no matter what.
I'm willing to let these people smash this table.
And a group of maids were so frightened that they closed their eyes, trembled, and did not dare to look over...
The official who beat him laughed sharply: "Oh, the bones are still quite strong~"
Si Mao's eyes were already in pain and his eyes were blurry. His hands holding the table were broken with veins. He was dripping with cold sweat. He gritted his teeth and stared at the several government officials around him.
He is the one who has lasted the longest. Even though he has been beaten more than a dozen times and his back has been beaten to pieces, he still has a will in his heart, that is, he must guard the young master's tavern!
Guard the home that the young master gave them, guard this place where they can become human beings again!
The fat man with crimson eyebrows smiled sarcastically, showing his yellow teeth. His patience was slowly exhausted, and he shouted at them viciously: "If you don't reveal the residence of the person who committed the crime on the street that day, I will send you away together."
Go to jail!"
Then Zhang Fugui smiled obscenely: "As for these little maids, I will accept them~"
Cui Qiao, the old man, said that behind this kid was just a family of merchants and millet merchants. He knew all the famous merchants and wealthy people in Chang'an City, and most of his family were just small businessmen with a lot of wealth in the city.
After taking this kid back and convicting him, he will then use his powers as the Wannian County Lieutenant to smooth things over with the county magistrates and magistrates above.
Find a way to sneak into this restaurant, use up these good-looking maids and sell them, wouldn't it be a windfall~
"Who the hell are you going to put in jail?"
At this time, Tang Sufan's angry shouts suddenly came from outside the door.
Zhang Fugui looked up and when he heard the sound, he knew that after waiting for so long, this guy was finally here.
"Haha, we're finally here, open the door!"
An official quickly opened the door, and outside the door, Tang Sufan and Li Shimin walked in with calm expressions.
As soon as Tang Sufan and others were let in, the door was closed again.
In Chang'an City, unless you have a great background, such as smashing up shops on the street, it's better not to let this kind of thing come to light~
When Tang Sufan saw the scene inside, his eyebrows suddenly crossed and anger surged in his heart!
Du Ruhui's old face didn't know whether it was due to the drunkenness just now or other reasons. His face was three points redder than that of Li Shimin and others!
He, the dignified minister of the Ministry of War, who jointly oversees public security in the world with Changsun Wuji, could actually allow the emperor to smash shops and beat people in the streets! Now he is thinking about skinning these government officials alive...
Before Tang Sufan and the others could say anything, Zhang Fugui shouted directly: "Come here, suppress this kid who committed murder and hurt people in the street, and take him back to the Yamen for torture, oh no, take him back for interrogation!"
Oops, I accidentally said what I was thinking~
Five government officials immediately surrounded them and tried to arrest them. At this moment, Du Ruhui stood up, his face flushed, and he shouted angrily: "Let's see who dares!!!"
A government official who came around saw that the old man was wearing a coarse robe and had nothing to wear. He was obviously a servant and he still dared to say anything.
So he slapped Du Ruhui, the current Minister of War of the Tang Dynasty, on the head, and said jokingly to Du Ruhui, who was stunned by the slap: "Old man, you are so crazy! How dare you yell?"
This slap directly stunned the surging Du Ruhui. He was a minister of the Ministry of War, but he was slapped on the head by a small official in the Yamen. What the hell~
Then the little official looked arrogantly and pointed his thumb behind him at the powerful Zhang Fugui, and said to Tang Sufan and his party: "Do you know who this is?"
Li Shimin on the side pulled back Du Ruhui, whose face was green and red after suffering an unjust beating. His face was gloomy and he asked in a low voice: "I would like to know, who is he?"
"This is the county lieutenant of our Wannian County, Zhang Fugui Zhang County Lieutenant! How dare you little Shangsu people dare to shout in front of Zhang County Lieutenant?"
There is a Jingzhao Mansion in Chang'an City, which oversees all public security affairs in Chang'an City. The city is bounded by Zhuque Street in the center, and is divided into Chang'an County to the west and Wannian County to the east.
Although a county lieutenant has a small official position, he is an official under the emperor's feet in Chang'an City, and his official prestige is almost guaranteed~
"County Lieutenant! What a great official power~"
Li Shimin laughed coldly. In Chang'an City, at the feet of the emperor, a ninth-grade official could be so arrogant! He really has gained a lot of experience~
Zhang Fugui rolled his eyes coldly, pretending to be righteous and said: "What? You don't accept it? If you don't accept it, you will be choked by me! How dare you hurt people in the street! You are so courageous. How can you be tolerated under the emperor's feet?
He commits murder! According to official regulations, he should be exiled for three thousand miles!"
At this time, Tang Sufan suppressed the anger in his heart and said: "Then what should I do if you hurt my people? How many articles of Tang law does this violate?"
Zhang Fugui brushed the dust off his body, stood up and said contemptuously: "A group of cheap slaves, if they are injured, they are injured. Even if they are beaten to death, so what?"
Tang Sufan glanced at Zhang Fugui with cold eyes.
According to Tang law, there is indeed no law to protect slaves.
Slaves are nothing more than a group of commodities. If you take it to the Yamen, it is just an act of destroying private property.
Tang Sufan calmly walked over first, slowly lifted up the dying Si Mao who was lying on the table, and asked softly: "Are you okay~?"
Si Mao's firm eyes suddenly shed tears, and he choked with tears and said: "It's okay, I'm sorry, I didn't protect the tavern!"
Immediately, several people with wounds on the ground around them also cried and apologized quickly, without complaining about the other party's initiative to hurt others.
Tang Sufan helped several other people sit up, glanced at them, and said in a deep voice: "The tavern was damaged and can be rebuilt. As long as you people are fine, it will be fine!"
It’s okay if people are fine!
Hearing these words, all the servants felt as if a hole had been dug out of their hearts. Tears suddenly burst into tears! They cried and thanked...
When Li Shimin saw this, his calm eyes softened a bit. Although this guy was a bit of a jerk, he was really a kind-hearted person!
Zhang Fugui, who was watching jokingly from the side, said at this time: "Boy, what a scene of deep love between master and servant, but the law will not tolerate mercy. Cui Qiao accuses you of committing murder in the street, do you admit it or not?!"
"Why should I admit it? What will happen if I don't admit it to you?"
Although Tang Sufan looks strong on the outside, he still feels a little weak in his heart. Now it’s up to him whether Lao Li can withstand it~
If Lao Li couldn't bear it, what method should he think of to escape?
"Don't admit it?"
Zhang Fugui smiled sinisterly: "If you don't admit it, I'll beat you until you do! When we take you back, I'm not afraid that you won't admit it. Come on, tie them up and take them back!"
Chapter completed!
