Brother Dao was dumbfounded.
He had to ask clearly, so he rushed to his sworn brother Captain Fang. Before he could speak, Captain Fang avoided him as if he was avoiding Wen Xie.
Not only that, Agent Fang, who was following Magistrate Zhang, did not dare to look at Brother Dao from the beginning to the end. He had a respectful smile on his face, but he was bowing down to the general and his wife.
While Magistrate Zhang was chatting with Yang Ruoqing and his wife, Brother Dao caught up and grabbed Agent Fang's arm and pulled him aside. He asked in a low voice, "Brother Fang, what is going on here? What are the backgrounds of those two people?"
Captain Fang quickly shook off Brother Dao's hand and glared: "Who is your Brother Fang? You have recognized the wrong person, go away!"
Brother Dao was dissatisfied and grinned and said loudly: "Fang Daming, you are crossing the river and burning the bridge!"
Brother Dao's roar attracted the attention of everyone in the room to the two of them.
Yang Ruoqing squinted her eyes and put on a posture to watch the show.
County Magistrate Zhang turned around, looked at Brother Dao, and then frowned and asked Fang Daming: "Captain Fang, what's going on here?"
Agent Fang quickly stood aside and distanced himself from Brother Dao. Then he clasped his hands and said to Magistrate Zhang, "Reply to your lord, this subordinate is innocent and I really don't know this person!"
Brother Dao stamped his feet and risked his life: "Lord County Magistrate, he lied. He and I are brothers who worship each other. I don't know how many benefits he has received from me. I asked him to come to the rescue now! This guy has no spirit and turned his back on the battlefield!" "
Fang Daming pulled out the knife directly: "Don't talk nonsense!"
Brother Dao bared his teeth and said with a ferocious face: "Fuck, Fang Daming, you are a bitch. When you were collecting money from me, you treated me like a brother and said that there was nothing you couldn't handle in Wanghai County. Even the county magistrate had to let you do it." Points! When I meet a high official today, you are trying to burn bridges. If I can’t defeat you, I will be upright. I hate villains like you the most!"
Fang Daming was anxious. He pulled out his sword from its scabbard and was about to slash at Brother Dao.
Luo Fengtang waved his finger, and something popped up and hit the back of Fang Daming's hand.
Fang Daming screamed in pain, and the steel knife in his hand fell to the ground with a loud clang.
Magistrate Zhang has raised his hand: "Come here, escort these two people back to the Yamen, and they will be released later!"
The officers swarmed up, pinned Fang Daming and Brother Dao to the ground and tied them up.
Fang Daming kept shouting injustice.
Brother Dao was grinning wildly.
"Hahaha, you have to pay back when you go out to hang out. If I meet someone who is awesome, I will be unlucky and admit defeat. But even if I go to hell, I will drag you Fang Daming into my back. You are a bastard, ungrateful..."
The cry was blocked, leaving only the whine in his throat.
Fang Daming and Brother Dao were escorted back to the Yamen to await their release.
Luo Fengtang told Magistrate Zhang what happened here. During the process, Magistrate Zhang's subordinates found several account books from the inner room next door.
These account books contain evidence that Brother Dao and Sister Hong searched for money in Wanghai County. They also involved the black and white people they bribed, just like fish and shrimps, there were big and small in the net.
For an official who is eager to make local achievements so as to be promoted as soon as possible, Magistrate Zhang holds the account book in his hand like a treasure.
I secretly sighed in my heart that today's trip was worth it, and the harvest was great. As long as the affairs of Baihua Lane are handled well, it will be another important achievement in political achievements.
Yang Ruoqing took out the previous bundle and handed it to Magistrate Zhang in public.
"Here are all the accounts, all handed over to you, Mr. Zhang."
County Magistrate Zhang took the bag of items and asked his subordinates to come over and count them on the spot. He invited Luo Fengtang and Yang Ruoqing to drink tea in the front yard of the restaurant.
Yang Huaming stayed and worked with his subordinates to count the numbers and record them in the register.
Yang Ruoqing and Luo Fengtang did not refuse Magistrate Zhang's kindness, and left Yang Huaming behind. The couple drank a bowl of tea with Magistrate Zhang in the front yard, and then stood up to leave.
Magistrate Zhang did not dare to stay any longer and sent him to the door of the restaurant in person.
At this time, the Baihuaxiang Restaurant has been sealed up, and there are official guards in front and behind.
Luo Fengtang first sent Yang Ruoqing to the carriage parked at the door. Bao Suyun was already waiting in the carriage, and the outside of the carriage was also guarded by officials.
Seeing Yang Ruoqing enter the carriage, Bao Suyun's heart, which had been hanging for more than an hour, finally relaxed.
"Qing'er, you're here, are you okay?"
Bao Suyun leaned over and stretched out his hand towards Yang Ruoqing.
Yang Ruoqing quietly held Bao Suyun's hand. Aunt Wu's hand was ice cold.
"Fifth Aunt, I'm fine, the three of us are fine!"
Bao Suyun nodded repeatedly, "That's good, that's good. Where are your fourth uncle and Tang Yazi? Why don't they come over?"
Yang Ruoqing said: "Tang Yazi will come after a few words with Magistrate Zhang."
Regarding the thief incident in Changping Village a while ago, the thieves headed by Yang Huasheng are still in prison. Magistrate Zhang is probably telling Luo Fengtang about the interrogation situation.
"As for the fourth uncle, I guess he won't be able to go back until tomorrow. The county magistrate will keep him here to help with some matters." Yang Ruoqing added.
Since it was the county magistrate who left Yang Huaming to assist with the work, it must be a serious matter. Bao Suyun couldn't ask more questions.
"What should we say to your fourth aunt?" Bao Suyun then asked about this again. Yang Huaming hadn't gone back all night, so the fourth aunt would definitely be furious.
Yang Ruoqing said: "It's okay. I'll talk to my fourth aunt when the time comes, and she will understand."
After saying this, Yang Ruoqing turned around and lifted a corner of the car curtain to look at the main entrance of Baihua Lane Restaurant.
Luo Fengtang stood there with his hands behind his back, like a green pine or green bamboo, standing tall and proud, his deep eyes slightly squinting under his sword-shaped eyebrows that slanted into his temples. He was cold and deep, calm and stern. At first glance, people felt that this man was very deep and unusual. .
Magistrate Zhang, the head of a county, stood in front of Luo Fengtang. Not only was he half a head shorter in height, he also lost most of his aura.
Magistrate Zhang was a scholar who later entered the official career. He exuded the magnanimity of an official and the elegance of a scholar.
Luo Fengtang was a military commander, and the ferocity he had gained from fighting in blood and fire had calmed down after years of precipitation.
He didn't need to deliberately show off any aura to intimidate others. He was like a famous weapon. Even Magistrate Zhang acted cautiously in front of Luo Fengtang...
Sensing that someone was looking at him, Luo Fengtang glanced at the car.
Then I don’t know what he said to Magistrate Zhang. Magistrate Zhang was stunned for a moment, and then he glanced towards the carriage, then said something with a hint of apology, and raised his hand as a farewell gesture.
Luo Fengtang finally nodded to Magistrate Zhang, then walked down the steps and came towards the carriage.
Yang Ruoqing curled her lips slightly, lowered the corner of the curtain, sat back, and told Bao Suyun, "Tang Yazi is here, we are about to leave."
