Being pulled by Jin Yiwei, these thugs were not afraid at all. The man who held Chen Hongyu's clothes smiled and said: "My lord, this thief stole the Taoist's money. I can't stand it, so I will teach him a lesson. If your lord
If you don’t believe it, just ask.”
Several other thugs said one after another: "It's not wrong at all, this thief dared to take the Taoist's money, he really didn't know how to die.
Chen Hongyu was an old official and had never seen any twists and turns. He sneered and ordered the captain behind him: "Stop them and I'll go take a look first." Then he walked over to the trestle and several businessmen brought them.
The waiter was already rubbing his hands at a loss. The businessman's son was lying on the businessman crying. Chen Hongyu half-knelt beside the businessman and checked his breathing. He was already out of breath. Looking at the wound on his chest again,
I couldn't help but get furious.
Even though he is a royal guard, he does not dare to kill people in public at the feet of the emperor. These people are too arrogant.
When several clerks saw Chen Hongyu, they were in awe and fear. They all said in Mandarin with a Suzhou accent: "Sir, our master is from Suzhou. Hearing that silk is sold well here in the capital, he took us and the young master to transport a shipment.
Come on, let's take a look at what's going on. If this business succeeds, the silk cut out by oneself can be brought to the capital for trafficking. Who knows, but a few gangsters started to come, saying they wanted money for peace.
They snatched all the master's money bag, and then a Taoist priest came and asked our master to pay him some incense money. He also said that it was a kind of heaven, but our master refused, and I don't know if it was him or not. They quarreled.
After a few words, the Taoist Master left."
Chen Hongyu listened carefully, his expression becoming more and more solemn. Just as Yingchunfang was placed under the jurisdiction of Yanhua Hutong, a death occurred. Although the person who died was a businessman from out of town, it was not a trivial matter. However, this kind of thing should have
The Shuntian Prefecture is in charge, but now there is no trace of the Shuntian Prefecture's guards, but I don't know where they all died.
Chen Hongyu also began to hesitate. Looking at the looks of the guards, it was obvious that these people could not be easily provoked. However, if he just left his hands and ignored them, Chen Hongyu would not feel any psychological burden based on his many years of experience as a guard. Jin Yiwei was already familiar with
These gangsters are no different, and even more vicious. What does it mean to bully good people? Chen Hongyu is considering the wishes of the adults of Baihu. After all, Baihu has already issued an explicit order not to be careless. If there are lawbreakers, they will take what should be taken.
"I will naturally give you justice in this matter." After Chen Hongyu hesitated, he held the embroidered spring knife and returned to the river embankment without saying a word. The thugs were surrounded by the captains in the center, still laughing and joking.
, as if nothing had happened, he saw Chen Hongyu coming over with a sullen face, and one of them chatted up: "Your Excellency, are you the new Mr. Chen Qi? I have heard about his name for a long time, but I have never heard of him."
"What a fart!" Chen Hongyu thought of Liu Chengfeng behind him, but he was not polite at all, and said sternly: "You are so brave, hurting people's lives in broad daylight, and you actually dare to joke with me, who are you?
...Take everyone back!"
"Yes!" The captains shouted together, unceremoniously pulled out their knives, and shouted together: "Come with us, or we will accuse you of treason."
The thugs were confused at this time. Jin Yiwei actually showed his true strength. Do they really not know how powerful Tian Yiyi is?
But when someone pulled out the knife, the person in the lead smiled coldly: "We are all right. Since you want to arrest me and go to Baihu Station, if you have the ability, don't let me go."
Chen Hongyu said coldly: "Take it away!"
In the crowd, a man wearing a Taoist robe saw this scene, his face changed slightly, and then he withdrew from the crowd and walked away quietly.
………………………………………………………………,
Liu Chengfeng was in good spirits today. He just came over from Wang Ao and gave Wang Ao a new prescription. It wasn't until noon that he went to Baihu Office and practiced calligraphy. He felt that he had it.
I made some progress and felt a sense of accomplishment. I happily sat in the main room of the Hundred Household Office and drank tea.
Not long after he had rested, Secretary Wang came over from the nearby custody room, delivered a letter, and said to Liu Chengfeng: "Sir, there is a person outside who says he is an official from the Ministry of Punishment and wants us to hand him over."
"Hand someone in?" Liu Chengfeng hesitated for a moment, thinking in his mind, who should he hand in? It seems that the Hundred Household Office only supervises illegal activities. Even if someone is handed in, he should go to Shuntian Mansion. He picked up the letter, and this
The letter was quite high-sounding, saying that it was reported that Yingchunfang had arrested several gangsters who had killed people on the street. This matter should not have been dealt with by the Imperial Guards. A murder had occurred at the emperor's feet, and the criminals should be transferred to Shuntian Mansion. If Shuntian Mansion felt that it was serious
, and then report it to the Ministry of Punishment.
This note was written very strangely. Liu Chengfeng said to Secretary Wang: "Did our Hundred Household Office take someone? In that case, just hand them over. It's not a conspiracy to slander the superiors, and our Jinyiwei."
It doesn’t matter.”
Secretary Wang was also confused and said: "Sir, I haven't heard of anyone who has been detained recently. We are not a prison here. What are we doing with people?" Liu Chengfeng felt even more strange and read the letter again.
Once again, I feel that the meaning of this letter is not wrong at all. It is indeed to hand over the person, and the time, place and person of the crime are clearly stated. If it is said to be based on nothing, it would be too detailed.
His face looked a little ugly, and he said in a cold voice: "Did the people below arrest someone behind the back of the guard station? Go down and check, and do your part yourself. Look at the Criminal Department, what's going on?"
To be conscientious and responsible, you must take care of those who should be taken care of, and you will not take care of others who should not be taken care of. This is called fulfilling one's duties."
Official Wang couldn't help but smile bitterly and said, "Okay, students, let's go and check it out."
Just as he was about to leave, there were noisy scoldings outside. Liu Chengfeng was already a little unhappy. He walked out with his hands behind his back and ran for a look. He only saw Chen Hongyu leading a group of people and escorting a group of people, followed by others.
Many people came, and some even burst into tears.
As soon as Chen Hongyu saw Liu Chengfeng, he trotted over and whispered a few words to Liu Chengfeng. Liu Chengfeng's face became increasingly ugly.
Immediately, Liu Chengfeng asked Secretary Wang to bring the letter, read it for a while, looked at the thugs, and said calmly: "They must be the people the Ministry of Punishment wants. This is strange, our Jin Yiwei haven't taken care of them yet.
When people were brought there, the Ministry of Punishment got wind of the news and sent the letter so quickly. There must be something fishy going on here."
Secretary Wang also felt that it was a bit serious. According to the usual style of government offices, it was possible for people to turn a blind eye. Even if they felt that Jin Yiwei was meddling in other people's business, it would take several days to react. But today, Chen Hongyu still
Halfway through the escort, people had received the news and immediately sent a note.
"Why doesn't Shuntian Prefecture ignore this matter?" Liu Chengfeng asked Chen Hongyu.
Chen Hongyu said: "Sir, someone went to Shuntian Mansion, but he left again. I couldn't bear to see it, so I took the person back.
Liu Chengfeng hummed, and the official Wang on the other side said: "What's wrong? These people dare to kill people in broad daylight. This is because they are not afraid of the king's law. There must be something behind them. There are so many reactions from the Ministry of Punishments now. Most of us
Hand these prisoners over, and they will be released as soon as the Ministry of Punishment or Shuntian Prefecture changes hands."
Liu Chengfeng sneered: "I hate it the most when dogs interfere with mice and meddle in other people's business, but today I will be a dog for once and see what the Ministry of Punishment is doing with them, bringing in both criminals and victims. I want to
Ask."
Chen Hongyu didn't say anything and went down to pick up someone.
The house of the hundred households was not a government office, so the place was not very spacious. Several thugs and four or five slaves came in together, and there were many school captains behind them to escort them. The house was already overcrowded.
Liu Chengfeng sat at the top and drank tea slowly. He did not ask if he had killed someone, but just said: "Did someone mention Tianyi just now? What is Tianyi?"
The thugs were not afraid. When Liu Chengfeng suddenly asked Tian Yiyi, the leader couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. It seemed that the Jinyiwei Baihu didn't even know the intersection of their own road, so they rashly came to take someone away.
, he didn’t ask before doing anything. Since he wanted to know, of course he had to tell Liu Chengfeng. He raised his head and said: "Sir..."
Liu Chengfeng frowned and sneered: "Did I ask you? What are you? I'm talking here, and you have the right to interrupt. If you don't understand the rules, slap someone!"
The thug was stunned for a moment, and Chen Hongyu grabbed his chin unceremoniously. With his other hand, he moved left and right and slapped him hard on the face several times.
The man screamed wildly from the beating, and the pain brought tears to his eyes.
Liu Chengfeng sighed, looked at this person and said, "What's your name? Does it hurt?"
The thug who was beaten was obviously frightened by the beating, and he felt a little more resentment and awe towards Liu Chengfeng. He covered his cheek and said vaguely: "As for the adults, I will hand over to Wu Er..."
Liu Chengfeng's expression changed, he slapped the case and said angrily: "Bastard, am I talking to you?
Are you handing over to Wu Er? You are deaf. What did I say just now? You also had a role to interrupt what I said. You are a cunning man and didn’t even open your eyes to see where you were entering. In the Jinyi Guardhouse,
If you dare to interrupt, someone will come and fight again!"
Chen Hongyu found Liu Chengfeng's method of judging cases strange, but he didn't dare to laugh. He went over again, gathered all his strength, and slapped Wu Er hard on the face.
Wu Er's cheeks were extremely swollen. At this time, he learned the lesson and knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe out. Blood dripped from his teeth and dripped all over the floor.
Liu Chengfeng said: "I ask you why you want to kill someone!"
Wu Er just pretended to be deaf, lowered his head and said nothing.
Liu Chengfeng became angry again: "Wu Er, how dare you not answer what I'm asking you. Do you think you're despising me? You're a thief. It seems you don't take me seriously. Mr. Chen
