Prefect's Mansion.

He heard that two royal city officials from Tokyo came to Taishou He did not dare to neglect, so he hurriedly greeted him.

"I don't know if the Grand Master is coming to welcome you, and I still pray for forgiveness."

Prefect He couldn't help but hesitate when he saw Jia Rui, who was dressed in plain clothes and in his early twenties.

But the Imperial City Department's waist card cannot be fake. Besides, who has the courage to pretend to be a court official?

"I wonder what business is there for Mr. Tieju to come from afar?"

Jia Rui put his waist card around his waist again and said, "I heard that there was a group of strong people making trouble on Shaohua Mountain in Huazhou. Did you hold one two days ago?"

He prefect said: "That's right, I'm just about to ask the court to decide."

Jia Rui nodded and said, "Which one is you holding onto? Is it the Jiuwenlong Shi Jin, or the Shenji Military Advisor Zhu Wu? Or Chen Da and Yang Chun?"

Prefect He couldn't help but be shocked.

At the beginning, he was eager to show his merits, so he had already written to the court for seizing Shi Jin.

But because he didn't know if he could catch the other three leaders, he did not mention the names of the other three. How did Jia Rui know?

Jia Rui smiled: "If the thieves and bandits are in chaos today, will you really sit idly by the court?

Now the Imperial City Office has established a new yamen, which is specifically responsible for secretly investigating the bandits who occupy the mountains and become kings in various prefectures.

The most famous group of thieves in Huazhou is the group of thieves on Shaohua Mountain. You don’t think that the names of these bandit leaders are still not found in the Imperial City Department, right?”

"I dare not, don't dare..." Prefect He hurriedly said: "This time I caught the nine-patterned dragon Shi Jin.

Two days ago, there was another man named Hua monk Lu Zhishen and Caiyuanzi Zhang Qing. They heard that Shi Jin was arrested and wanted to enter the city to assassinate him to rescue Shi Jin. I saw through the evil plan and caught him."

"Oh? Lu Zhishen? But was that little clan who was in charge of the position of the minister under the account of his wife, and later killed Zhenguanxi and fled outside, and finally fell into the Erlong Mountain in Qingzhou?"

He Taishou said: "I don't know this old official, I only know that he is a fat monk, and he is indeed from Guansai."

Jia Rui said: "I'll ask you later? And who is Zhang Qing? Should I ask?

If you really capture the bandit leader Lu Zhishen of Erlong Mountain, you will have a lot of contribution this time~”

Prefect He hurriedly smiled and said, "That's more to rely on the support of the lord of the lord! The lord came from afar, and Xiaguan had someone ready to prepare a banquet to welcome the lord, so please move into the flower hall."

When he came to the flower hall, he asked Jia Rui to sit down. He also said some gossip in the court, interesting stories in Bianliang. Jia Rui said it half true and half false, and Prefect He was also a little confused.

Speaking of Grand Master Cai, Jia Rui said coldly: "The Imperial City Department is not affiliated with Taijian, and it is not part of the Three Yas. Even though the Grand Master's weight is not in charge of our affairs."

Prefect He hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, is the official who said it wrong. But I don't know how the adults should deal with Shi Jin, Lu Zhishen and others?"

Jia Rui asked back, "I wonder what the prefect has to do with it?"

Prefect He hurriedly smiled and said, "If you have an adult here, how dare you tell any random ideas?"

Jia Rui smiled and said, "You are the prefect of the side and are familiar with the situation here, but it doesn't matter."

He prefect said: "In theory, it is time to capture all these bandits in one place to eliminate future troubles, but this Jiuhua Mountain is really dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack. If it is to be wiped out, the imperial court must send heavenly soldiers down..."

Jia Rui nodded and said, "I also know that the bandits on Jiuhua Mountain have been harming the place for many years and have become a stubborn disease.

If the imperial edict had given up these strong men, what would the prefect think?"

"Zhao'an?" He prefect was stunned and asked again: "Is it the official family's intention?"

Jia Rui said: "The government only asked me to investigate the situation of thieves everywhere and acted cheaply. If it was not enough for the court to have a soldier and a soldier, it would be the best for the thieves to be in peace and use for the court without bloodshed.

At the end of the Northern Song Dynasty, thieves rose up, some were suppressed, and some were indeed ordered by the court.

But if Zhao'an's words are discussed by the Privy Council, then the local officials' opinions and opinions are asked.

Judging from what Jia Rui meant, could he be the leader of the bandits?

"If you can get Zhao'an, it will be your good fortune. I wonder if the Lord has brought Zhao'an's letter?"

Jia Rui smiled and said, "Where is there such a quick place? You have to negotiate with the bandit leader Shi Jin first, and then report to the official to draft an edict and announce it."

Prefect He nodded and said yes.

After withdrawing Xi Jiarui for a moment, he insisted on going to the prison to see Shi Jin and others. Prefect He had to accompany Jia Rui to the prison.

When I came to the prison, I felt extremely damp and dark, and the smell was quite unpleasant.

Jia Rui waved his hand and said, "The prefect will follow you in."

The prefect wanted to say this, and waited at the door with a promise.

Jia Rui carried a lantern and walked inside alone.

When he came to the innermost point, he shouted in his throat: "Which one is Shi Jin, which is Hua monk Lu Zhishen? Which is Zhang Qing, a vegetable garden?"

"Which grandson calls you grandpa?" Lu Zhishen's loud voice rang. Jia Rui looked at him while lanterns. Sure enough, a big bald man was looking out through the wooden fence.

"Brother, it's me, whisper..." Jia Rui used a lantern to illuminate his face.

"Third brother? Why did you come to Huazhou City?" Lu Zhishen recognized Jia Rui.

In the other two single rooms, Shi Jin and Zhang Qing also put their faces on them.

But Lu Zhishen was wearing a death row shackle on his neck, and his upper body was bare. The few whip marks on his body were shocking. He was obviously tortured.

Shi Jin and Zhang Qing were not much better either.

"What else can I do? Come and save you! Brother, you are not in the way, right?" Jia Rui said roughly the words of Sun Erniang going to Bianjing to inform her.

Lu Zhishen asked again: "Then how did you get into the prison?"

"My fake imperial envoy has sneaked in... Don't rush to ask this. Now I want to find a way to rescue you. I have already told the prefect He that the court intends to ask you to be punished to see if you can deceive the prefect and take you away without the edict...

I will talk to him later, and then I will ask you out to ask questions one by one, and talk about Zhao'an. You must cooperate with me to perform such a good show for him to show..."

Listening to Jia Rui buzzing for a long time, Lu Zhishen felt that his head was bigger. While scratching his hands, he asked Zhang Qing: "Did you remember?"

Zhang Qing shook his head confused.

He asked Shi Jin again, and Shi Jin hesitated and said, "I probably understand. I just pretended to be grateful to Mu Tianen, and wanted to surrender to the court. He followed this brother to Shaohua Mountain and recruited Chen Da, Zhu Wu and other brothers on the mountain to go down the mountain together..."

Jia Rui sighed and said, "That's about it."

Lu Zhishen said, "Why do you have to be so troublesome? Third brother, just split the iron cable and release your brother. When I find my Zen stick, I will knock these dog thieves over. Wouldn't we be relieved if we leave?"

Jia Rui gave Lu Zhishen a blank look and ignored him, and said to everyone: "That's it. I'll talk to Prefect He again. I'll interrogate you to the evening or tomorrow. Start with Shi Jin first. Remember not to let go..."

He said that and turned around and went.

He walked to the prison door and called Haizhu out, but found that the prison door had been locked.

"I've asked questions!" Jia Rui thought that he was afraid that the prisoners inside would escape, so he locked the second door, and did not take it to heart.

But when he saw Prefect He turned out and stood on the steps and sneered, "I said that you don't look like an official, it's really good. Why do you want to lie to me?
