"Everyone who has nothing to do with it will be kicked out."
A group of official servants broke into the shop from outside, headed by a civil servant dressed in green robes.
There were a few customers in the shop who were about to buy something. When they saw these ferocious officials barging in, they all dared to stay in the shop. They all ducked their heads and ran out of the shop through the gap left by the officials.
Some idle people with nothing to do, as well as some curious passers-by, gathered outside the shop.
There were three circles inside and three outside, and it was quickly filled with many people watching the excitement.
"Did something happen to this shop? Why are so many officials here?"
"Committed a crime? You must have offended someone."
"What's the meaning?"
"Let me tell you, have you seen these officials?"
Several idle people watching the excitement nodded.
A team of officials all entered the shop, and there was no door panel for the shop. It was difficult for people outside to see them.
"Let me tell you, look at the clothes on these officials, they are all officials from Dali Temple, and where is Dali Temple? Since when has it ever taken care of the affairs of ordinary people like us?"
"What do Dali Temple officials do? Don't all officials have to take care of the people?"
"There is also a difference between the officials and the officials. The people who are in charge of our people are the officials of the Shuntian Prefecture or the Ministry of Punishment. The ones in charge of Dali Temple are the officials, or the old men who are high officials."
"So the owner of this shop is a high-ranking official?"
"Quickly pull it down!" said one of the idle men, "I live here. The shopkeeper of this shop is from Datong. I heard that their owner is also from Datong."
"As the saying goes, if you don't know the capital, you don't know the official capital. There are not many other things in the capital. There are relatives of the emperor, various nobles, as well as the six ministers, and the internal supervisors in the palace. Even if the governor of Datong comes to the capital, he must behave honestly. grandson."
The idlers outside the shop were chatting among themselves, speculating on what big shot this shop called Tiger Flag had offended.
In the shop, the waiter hurriedly walked out from behind the counter and said with a smile on his face: "Master, what's going on? Is there a mistake?"
As he spoke, he took out a piece of silver and secretly stuffed it into the official's hand through his cuff.
The official who got the money glanced at the clerk in front of him and sneered: "Bring the official, come and let me get it."
As he finished speaking, two officers came over and subdued the waiter one on the left and the other on the right.
The waiter hurriedly defended: "My lord, you misunderstood. I had no intention of bribing you. I just wanted to treat you to tea because I saw the hard work of my lord and you gentlemen."
The official said coldly: "I need you to invite me to tea. I've locked you up."
A chain as thick as a wrist was placed directly on the man's body.
"Where's your shopkeeper?" the official asked the boy who was being held captive.
At this moment, a person hurriedly walked in from the back door of the shop and said anxiously: "Sir, what happened? Why are you locked up?"
The visitor was Wang Zizi. As soon as he got the news, he rushed over from the backyard.
"Are you the shopkeeper of this shop?" The official glanced sideways.
Wang Zijin raised his hand and said, "I am the shopkeeper of this Tiger Flag shop. I wonder what crime the shop clerk has committed?"
"You came just in time, locked it together." The official waved his hand.
Two officers came up, one on the left and one on the right, and held Wang Zizi in hand.
"Sir, what does this mean? Even if you take someone else, you still have to give an explanation." Wang Jingzhi shouted loudly.
The official said with a sneer: "An explanation? I will give you an explanation when we get to Dali Temple. Go back."
Several officials stepped forward and pushed Wang Zibing and the waiters in the shop to go out.
The king shouted on his own: "Sir, you can't arrest people without any evidence. Is there any king's law?"
"The king's method?" The official sneered, "When you get to Dali Temple, you can put the stick on it and it will be easier to use than any other method."
Wang Ziyi's heart sank.
He knew that after Wang An left, he would definitely send people to cause trouble for them, but he didn't expect that people from Dali Temple would come before he could even burn incense.
From the official uniform of the man in front of him, it is not difficult to tell that he is a sixth-grade civil servant and an official of Dali Temple. He should be the temple chief of Dali Temple, but I don't know whether he is the left temple chief or the right temple chief.
"stop.
As the words fell, another group of official officers came out of the crowd, headed by a fifth-rank civil servant.
"Master Xu." The official from Dali Temple looked at the visitor and cupped his hands.
Xu Dahua said calmly: "Master He, did your Dali Temple stretch your hand a little too long?"
"Master Xu, what do you mean?" He Sigong's heart sank.
Xu Dahua sneered and said: "It is the matter of our Criminal Department and Shuntian Prefecture to arrest people. When will it be your turn to arrest people from Dali Temple?"
Ordinary cases in the capital are tried by the Shuntian Prefecture. Major cases and serious crimes will be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment or the Department of Prosecution. The Dali Temple only has the right to co-hear and correct cases, but it does not have the right to arrest people on their behalf.
He Sigong also knew this. Although he brought officers from Dali Temple when he came to fetch people this time, after all, his reputation was not justified. Meeting an official from the Ministry of Justice like Xu Dahua was like meeting the fake Li Gui with the real Li Kui.
However, this time he came to fetch someone on the order of a big shot. Facing Xu Dahua, a member of the Ministry of Justice, he didn't feel guilty.
Immediately, he threatened: "Master Xu, I would like to advise you that it is best not to get involved in this matter. It will not do you any good."
Faced with the threat, Xu Dahua smiled coldly and said, "I would also like to advise you, Mr. He. You, Zuosi of Dali Temple, are leading people to arrest the shop owner of a business. Aren't you afraid of being involved?"
"So Mr. Xu doesn't intend to give face? Do you know who wants to arrest them?"
He Sigong did not expect that Xu Dahua would not give him any face, so he had to warn him to let him know that there was a big shot behind this matter.
Xu Dahua said calmly: "I am very curious as to which master actually ignored the court regulations and arrested people arbitrarily. I would like to ask Sir He to inform me, so that I can come and join in the performance and let the Holy Lord know."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands and placed them on his shoulders.
"You" He Sigong's face sank, he didn't expect Xu Dahua to be so ignorant.
If he said that the other party was a loyal and honest minister, he wouldn't believe it. He could only say that there were people behind him who didn't want him to take away the shopkeeper.
Xu Dahua looked at He Sigong and said, "Master He, do you think you can take people away with the few people you brought?"
Hearing this, He Sigong looked at the six Dali Temple officers he had brought with him, and then at the Ministry of Punishment officers outside the shop. There were at least twenty or thirty people.
He knew that if he took action by force, not only would he not be able to take the person away, but Xu Dahua might even find a reason for him to be arrested and taken to the Ministry of Justice.
If this were the case, not only would he fail to curry favor with the high official Wang, but he himself would also be forced to resign.
