"Oh! Really?" Wu Guanglu suddenly turned from worry to joy, and said to Li Jiange, "If this thing is done, I am willing to pay each of the yamen on duty a hundred taels of silver for their hard work."
Li Jiange said with a smile: "Then I will take charge of the office. Thank you so much, Yuanwai Wu!" But he changed the subject and continued: "This fake fight is not a problem. I just need Yuanwai Chen to warn his wife. The blame falls on him. , you must pretend to be howling in pain, otherwise people will see through it at a glance!"
Wu Guanglu quickly promised: "Master Chief, don't worry about this. As long as I give my wife the information, she will definitely pretend to be very realistic!"
"Haha, that's good!" Li Jiange was relieved.
At this time, Zhuge Cheng stood up from the Grand Master's chair and said, "It's getting late. Wu Yuanwai, please go and explain to the Sixth Lady quickly and ask her to follow Capt. Li to the court. Leave the rest to me!" "
Looking at the backs of Wu Guanglu and Li Jiange leaving in response, Zhuge Cheng turned to the young woman and said: "Okay, madam, I have arranged your uncle's affairs. You can go back to the Taiwei's Mansion with peace of mind. I should also go in." It’s coming!”
The young woman then stood up from the Taishi chair and said with a sweet smile: "Master, I am still a little worried. I want to go to the Xinjing Mansion Court with my uncle and aunt to have a look!"
Zhuge Cheng's face darkened slightly when he heard this, and he lectured: "Madam, you are now the wife of a court official, how can you go out and show your face at will like those women from merchants and philistine families!"
The young woman couldn't help but be stunned when she heard this. Then she walked to Zhuge Cheng, held Zhuge Cheng's arm with both hands, shook it gently, and said softly: "Master, just let me go. After all, I am I grew up in my uncle's house, and my uncle has been kind to me in raising me up. Besides, don't you often tell me that you can't forget your roots as a human being?"
Zhuge Cheng couldn't stand the charming appearance of the young woman, so he couldn't help but stretched out his hand to pinch her little nose, and said lovingly: "Okay, okay, my husband will allow you to go to the government office, but you can't dress like this." If you go like this now, you have to put on ordinary clothes and wear a scarf. Especially you can't go with your uncle and the others. After entering the court, don't talk casually, just treat it as a fun show! Do you remember it? "
When the young woman heard this, she immediately said happily: "Master, don't worry. Before you come to the court, I will not talk nonsense unless the drunkard wants to torture my uncle and aunt!"
"Hey, that's not allowed." When Zhuge Cheng heard that, he quickly waved his hand to stop him and said, "You are now the wife of a Taiwei. Even if Chen tortures your aunt, if you get into a quarrel with him in the court, you will definitely get angry when the emperor arrives. Thinking that I was the one behind it, the crime of causing trouble in court is not a light one! What's more, you just heard Mr. Li from the government office say that even if it means torture, he will let the government officials fake the beating. Your aunt will never suffer the pain of that flesh and blood, so why do you need to show your face and cause unnecessary trouble!"
The young woman thought it made sense, then nodded and said: "Master, I will listen to you. I will only watch with my eyes when I go to court, and I will never make any noise to cause trouble for you!"
Zhuge Cheng stroked his beard and said happily: "That's right. Remember, if you want to achieve great things, you must not be just for temporary pleasure and use your emotions to do things!"
Besides, as soon as Zhang Feili came out of the court, he was full of complaints and complained to Niu Xiaobao: "Brother Niu, do you think this new Lord Tongjian is a fool? There is a ready-made victim in the court who will not interrogate him, but he actually asked us to go and arrest him." I was puzzled when someone caught a duck and brought it back for interrogation. I have never heard of anyone who could understand what a duck is croaking all day long."
Niu Xiaobao persuaded him with a smile: "Forget it, Team Leader Zhang, why are you arguing with a drunk fool? Didn't you see that he fell asleep when he was in the hall? Anyway, he asked us to catch ducks, so we just Go and catch him, if this embarrassing thing spreads, people will just laugh at him for being a fool and it has nothing to do with us at all!"
The two of them were talking when suddenly a person in front of a small tavern on the road greeted Zhang Feili: "Hey, isn't this Team Leader Zhang? Come in and have a drink?"
Hearing the sound, Zhang Feili raised his head and saw that it was Baozheng Hou Qi from this Zhuque Street. He said angrily: "Didn't you see that I was on a business trip? I have time to chat with you!"
"Oh!" Hou Qi asked curiously: "Is this the unlucky guy who got into your hands again?"
Zhang Feiqi glanced at him and said with a wry smile: "There is no unlucky guy this time, but there are a bunch of unlucky ducks!"
"What?" Hou Qi said in disbelief: "Is your yamen still responsible for helping people catch ducks?"
When Zhang Feili was asked, he didn't know where to start. Niu Xiaobao said quickly: "This and that! It's just a nonsense. To tell you the truth, our new Lord Tongpan is here today. After drinking too much, we happened to meet the duck restaurant owner Lao Yang and a countryman going to the court to fight a duck lawsuit. Therefore, the judge sent us to go to the duck restaurant to catch the ducks and said that he would personally interrogate these ducks! "
"Ah! Is there such a thing? Can he understand those ducks quacking?" Hou Qiyi didn't know what to do, and asked with wide eyes in surprise.
Zhang Feizu said with a bitter face: "Who knows! Anyway, if we catch the duck back, it's none of our business even if he uses it as appetizer!"
Hou Qi nodded and said with a smile: "Hey, don't tell me, this Master Tongjian confused Xu Zheng with this intention. Maybe he said that the duck trial was just an excuse!"
Zhang Feili blinked his eyes and said doubtfully: "You can't, right? How can you say that Chen Tongpan is also a sixth-rank official of the imperial court, so he would spend so much effort on these dozen ducks, which are only worth one or two silver coins in total?"
Hou Qi smacked his lips: "Brother! Why are you so stubborn? What has he put into it? It's just a mouthful, and he doesn't have to run errands himself!"
"Impossible!" Zhang Feiqi said flatly: "As you think, he just drank too much and acted like a fool. Anyway, we were ordered to catch the duck back to him. I'll see how he ends up! "
When Hou Qi heard about it, he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, you two go catch the ducks first. Later, I will go to the court with a few friends to watch the excitement. I want to see how this drunkard judge can handle this matter!" Ha ha."
After the three of them hugged each other and said goodbye in front of the tavern, Hou Qi turned around and entered the tavern. Since it was already past noon, there were not many people eating in the restaurant. When he saw him coming in, he was sitting at a table. The two men quickly stood up and greeted him: "Master Qi, are you over here? Why did you come here?"
Hou Qi heard the sound and walked over to the two of them and complained: "Oh, it would be great if Master Qi could be as undisciplined as you two nephews that day! Now Master Qi is in a public house and can't help himself!"
The other person quickly apologized and said with a smile: "I understand, I understand. Master Qi, please sit down quickly. I will ask the waiter to serve the food."
The living room of this tavern is not big. There are only four large round tables in it, and then four small square tables were placed here and there. Basically, there is no space for the tables. But now there are only two tables with five guests in the entire living room, so Instead it looked a little empty.
While waiting for the food to be served, the three of them had nothing to do. Hou Qi retold the story about how they had just met Zhang Feijiao at the door and went to catch ducks under the orders of the new judge. After doing it once, it immediately made several people laugh so hard that they couldn't help but laugh. Even the waiter who served the food couldn't help but laugh so hard!
At this time, on a small square table separated from two round tables by Hou Qi, two people, an old man and a young man, who were eating, heard Hou Qi's joke, but they couldn't laugh. They were about 20 years old and handsome. The handsome young man, with a sad face, whispered to the old man with snow-like beard and hair next to him: "Sister, you have heard it, let's go back. I have decided not to go to the government to complain. Mr. Jia was so shrewd before. He has solved so many cases in just over twenty days. When he came across my case, he said that he could not make a conclusion due to lack of witnesses and evidence. Now if I were to sue this new drunkard judge, I think it’s better to just accept your fate!”
The old man nodded slightly and said, "Okay, as long as you don't stop me from killing that couple, I will go back with you!"
When the young man heard this, he became anxious and begged in a low voice: "Sister, why are you so stubborn? Just for the extra thousand taels of silver, you want to kill two people! How can you bear it?"
The old man rolled his eyes at the young man and said softly: "You are kind-hearted, but you have been bullied to the point of being bullied, and you still plead for mercy on their behalf. To tell you the truth, now that your parents are no longer here, I will make a decision for you. What if? The government cannot convict this pair of losers, so my sister will kill them!"
"Alas!" The young man sighed and said helplessly: "Sister, why are you doing this? Have you ever thought about it?" As long as you kill these two people, everyone in the street will immediately know that it was me, Zhou Ye, who did it. I'm afraid I won't be able to wash myself off even if I jumped into the moat! "
The old man's eyes widened and he reproached: "Brother, why are you afraid of everything? Don't worry, after I kill those two bitches, I will take you back to the Tianshan Ice Valley to meet the master. Then I will ask her to accept you as my teacher. Disciple, teach you martial arts...!"
Before the old man could finish speaking, Zhou Ye quickly shook his head and said: "Sister, I won't go with you. I heard you said that the mountain was still in the Xiliao Kingdom that day, and it was thousands of miles away. Besides, the Ice Valley sounded like It’s cold, I can’t bear that kind of suffering!”
The old man blew his beard and glared, and was about to have a fit. Zhou Ye saw that something was wrong and hurriedly apologized: "Sister, don't be angry. I will go to the government to sue this adulterer and adulteress. No matter how long it takes, I will definitely sue them." both!"
The old man said angrily: "I'll give you a month at most. If you can't win against this couple, humph, then you have no choice but to follow me back to Tianshan Ice Valley. If you dare not obey then, I will tie you up." Go back!" After saying that, before Zhou Ye could answer, he changed back to the old man's accent and waved to the shopkeeper in the hall: "Shopkeeper, check out."
Zhang Feijiao and Niu Xiaobaocai stood in front of the Duck Flavor Restaurant. A large crowd of people watching the fun immediately gathered behind them. No matter what era, there are always a lot of people in the market who like to join in the fun. Lao Yang’s Duck Flavor Restaurant The store is relatively large, and its appearance is well-organized. The name of the store is gilded on the yellow rosewood plaque. It is divided into two floors. The first floor is divided into a kitchen and a living room for individual customers. The second floor is divided into separate rooms. There is a small private room that can seat seven or eight people. All the live ducks collected are not only sent to the kitchen, but the rest are put in bamboo cages and placed at the entrance of the duck restaurant for guests who come to eat. Kill now.
Now in front of the duck restaurant, there were only a few customers coming in and out. Two servants had one hand on their hips and the other slamming water and fire sticks on the ground. One of them, Zhang Feiji, shouted loudly into the restaurant: "Is there anyone in charge inside? Come out!"
"Hey, it's coming, it's coming!" As soon as he finished speaking, an old man over fifty years old with a goatee ran out of the library. When he saw two businessmen standing at the door, he hurriedly said with a smile on his face: "I don't know. What are you two calling me for?"
Zhang Feijiao pointed to the cages of ducks placed at the door and said: "The two of us have been ordered by the judge to bring all the live ducks in your store back to the court for interrogation. Apart from here, there are still some ducks in other places in your store." If there are no surviving ducks, we have to search again!”
The old man didn't understand at first, and said confusedly: "Two gentlemen, please forgive me for being stupid. I know that our shop owner went to the government to file a lawsuit with a countryman, but now why are we taking these ducks to the government? "
Zhang Feili's eyes widened and he yelled angrily: "What? Are your ears hard to use? Then I'll say it again, please listen carefully. Our Lord Judge is going to take the live ducks from your store back for interrogation. This time Can you hear me clearly?"
The old man heard clearly this time, but he was also completely confused. In his old age, he had never heard of duck interrogation. Before he could say anything, the people watching the excitement started talking about this. Said: "Master Tongpan wants to judge ducks! Did I hear you right?" The other said: "If you don't believe me, make a bet! If he can judge ducks, I will write my character Lu upside down!"
"Haha, get out! Isn't it the character "LV" written upside down?"
