After speaking, Gu Zhengchen turned around and returned to the shop, found a chair, placed it at the door of the shop, and sat down.
Facing fifteen or six government officials, Xiao Cheng did not retreat. He just threw the package at Gu Zhengchen's feet, then moved his wrists and grinned: "It seems that things can't go well today. In that case, let us do the same." Have a good time!"
Boom!
His heavy feet were spread apart from left to right, like wooden stakes hitting the ground. Xiao Cheng smiled ferociously, stared at Feng Yuanli and Tang Xingguai, and shouted: "Kill the enemy in battle, be brave and not afraid of death!"
"kill!"
A roar seems to have the strength of thousands of troops.
Gu Zhengchen took a deep breath, this guy brought the same tactics as marching and fighting!
The guy who can be Chang Yuchun's bodyguard is definitely not a simple person!
Woo!
The water and fire stick fell down, heading straight for Xiao Cheng's neck.
Xiao Cheng suddenly took a step forward, and his right shoulder directly hit the yamen servant's chest. The yamen servant flew backwards immediately, with a mouthful of blood spurting out of his mouth. Looking at Xiao Cheng again, he had taken the water and fire stick in his hand, and raised it to block the attacks of the two yamen servants. Pushing it away, the stick hit his leg.
Screams suddenly came out.
In an instant, the three government officials fell to the ground and howled.
Feng Yuanli, Huang Xue, Tang Xingguai and others were all stunned. Even the people watching were shocked by such a tyrannical scene.
Xiao Cheng dragged the water and fire stick and walked towards Feng Yuanli and others step by step, shouting: "In the name of training, you plunder the people's property and steal their wives and daughters for the pleasure of one person. What do you think of the people of Hui'an? They belong to the Ming Dynasty." The common people are not your playthings!”
A few words made the people around him feel very sad. Finally, someone finally shouted out the injustice of this world!
Feng Yuanli looked very ugly and shouted: "How dare you confront the government and beat the officials! Beat me to death!"
Xiao Cheng looked at Feng Yuanli, glanced at the government officials who were about to surround him on both sides, slapped the water and fire stick in his hand, and said sternly: "I am the Longxiang Guard Qianhu. If you are not afraid of death, give it a try!"
As soon as these words came out, the government officials were shocked and at a loss.
Gu Zhengchen raised his hand and patted his forehead, "I'll go, Lao Zhu, who did you choose for yourself? This is not the battle between the two armies. Why did you declare your home? Did you let me incognito to find out?"
Long Xiang defends thousands of households? !
County Magistrate Feng Yuanli and Dian Shi Huang Xue looked at each other with fear in their eyes.
The official positions of Qianhu are much larger than those of county magistrates, and the Longxiang guard is not just a simple one. He is one of the twelve guards of the pro-army. In other words, he is a general of Jinling!
Although military generals have no control over civilian officials and have no right to interfere with local government, this status is really scary. In addition, he also saw Ye Xiao walking on the street last night. It will not be easy to end this matter.
The yamen servant did not dare to move, so Xiao Cheng walked up to Feng Yuanli, stared at Feng Yuanli, and shouted: "If you dare to take another step, I will break your legs!"
Feng Yuanli felt aggrieved and didn't run away.
Tang Xingguai shivered and stood there not knowing what to do.
Xiao Cheng said coldly: "Are you going to see him on foot, or do you want me to carry him?"
Tang Xingguai, Feng Yuanli and others looked at Gu Zhengchen who was sitting on the chair, and they were all frightened. The Qianhu of Longxiang Guard were all just thugs, so who was this young man?
Being able to be protected by close military guards must have a very special status. Looking at his age and being so young, could he be the prince?
Tang Xingguai and Feng Yuanli walked over, almost fainted by their own thoughts.
Gu Zhengchen did not intend to reveal his identity, so he took out a waist tag from the package and said with a cold face: "Qianhu of the Pro-Army Duwei Mansion was ordered to go to Guangdong for business, and stopped by Hui'an County to rest. Unexpectedly, I was almost arrested by you." Let’s go. What, do you want to arrest me or him?”
Feng Yuanli almost fainted.
Although the person who came here was not a prince, he was still like a god of plague!
The Imperial Guard's Mansion is the emperor's eyes, ears and thugs. All inspections and inspections are under the control of this group of people. When these people leave Jinling, they usually bring two kinds of orders:
Capture or kill someone.
It sounds like he is going to Guangdong and is just passing through Hui'an.
Tang Hu, Tang Hu, you are so lucky. Once Ye Xiao steps on the street, he can bump into two thousand households, each one more difficult to deal with than the last!
Not to mention whether it was these two people who beat Tang Hu to death, it was them. Who dared to question them?
What's more, there is no way this group of people could leave any evidence when they did something without any evidence. If you ask them to accuse them, it would be better to go directly to Lao Zhu to confess and be lenient. At least you can avoid being hanged in the Tutu Temple.
"I don't dare, it's just me who can't see Taishan."
Feng Yuanli's hands were trembling and his voice was trembling.
Gu Zhengchen looked at the clothes of Feng Yuanli and Huang Xue, raised his finger and pointed at Tang Xingguai: "This man is a pirate, I saw it with my own eyes."
Tang Xingguai quickly knelt down and shouted: "I am not a pirate, I am just..."
"He's a pirate!"
Gu Zhengchen interrupted Tang Xingguai's words and stared at Feng Yuanli and Huang Xue: "I heard that in the third year of Hongwu, a group of pirates and Japanese invaders landed in Kaijiang and threatened Jinjiang, Hui'an and other places. They were later driven into the sea by the guards' sergeants. Go. The hands of the pirates are stained with the blood of the people of the Ming Dynasty. You are county officials who work for the people, but you are indifferent to the pirates in front of you?"
Feng Yuanli couldn't understand why the guy in front of him was asking him to arrest someone.
But Tang Xingguai is no ordinary person. He is Tang Hu's servant, one of his most capable men, and the person Tang Xian specially recruited to protect Tang Hu.
Touching him would mean not giving Tang Xian face.
Gu Zhengchen stood up and said slowly: "It seems that this matter needs to be reported to the emperor."
Feng Yuanli's expression changed, and he quickly shouted to the government officials: "Why are you standing there, why don't you catch this pirate!"
When the government officials saw this, they didn't know whether to take action or not. It wasn't until Huang Xue urged him that he dared to step forward and catch Tang Xingguai.
Tang Xingguai struggled for a moment, staring with red eyes, but said nothing.
The other party took out the card of pro-military captain's mansion. It was really hard to offend him, so he had to admit defeat.
Gu Zhengchen handed the waist badge to Xiao Cheng, asked him to put the package away, and then said, "Take me to the county government office."
Feng Yuanli, Huang Xue and others did not dare to stop him, so they had to take people back to the county government office.
The crowd was talking a lot, and many people were following behind. The shopkeeper of Fu Xiao Inn fainted immediately. If it weren't for the help of the waiter, he might have fallen down.
Hui'an County Government.
Tang Er hurriedly ran in and shouted with a gloomy face: "It's not good, the people from the pro-military captain's mansion are here!"
"What?!"
Tang Xian was shocked and stood up quickly.
Zhang Jiujing's eyes widened, unable to digest this shocking news, and he quickly asked: "Why are the people from the Pro-jun Duwei Mansion coming to Hui'an County? Are they looking for the magistrate or -"
Tang Er calmed down and said quickly: "Zhang San, that Zhang San is from the pro-military captain's mansion. He is now bringing the county magistrate and Dian Shi to the county government office. He also had Tang Xingguai captured..."
Zhang Jiujing listened carefully, calmed down, and said to Tang Xian: "Master should step aside and let Shi Ruji take charge of the county government affairs to see what this person wants. Since we are passing through Hui'an, I don't think we will break up. There are still things to do. Room for maneuver.”
Tang Xian immediately stood up and asked Shi Ruji to take charge, while he stood on one side of the hall as a scribe, while Zhang Jiujing stood beside Shi Ruji, pretending to be the master.
While several people were discussing countermeasures, Gu Zhengchen, Xiao Cheng and others walked into the county government lobby.
Xiao Cheng took out his waist badge. Shi Ruji glanced at it a few times and handed it to Zhang Jiujing for identification. Zhang Jiujing looked at it carefully, nodded solemnly, and returned the waist badge.
Shi Ruji frowned and said cautiously: "Two thousand households, since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, no sergeant has ever interfered with the administration of officials. I wonder why you are in the county government?"
First of all, let me remind you, you are just sergeants. Although the pro-military captain's house is not easy to mess with, you still have to listen to the emperor's words. If there is no decree, you have no right to touch any civil officials. If you do, you will act without orders. As a dog kept by the emperor, it is never allowed to bite people without a leash.
Based on this understanding and the fact that this person's goal was Guangdong, Shi Ruji concluded that they had no intention of capturing or killing Hui'an County officials. Since they had no right to touch him, there was nothing to fear.
Gu Zhengchen glanced at the people in the hall and raised his hand to Shi Ruji: "Congratulations to the county magistrate, congratulations to the county magistrate."
Shi Ruji was stunned.
Tang Xian on the side also looked puzzled, wondering where Shi Rujixi was?
Gu Zhengchen didn't wait for Ru Ji to ask questions, and said directly: "Last night at the Fu Xiao Inn, Zhang saw with his own eyes a group of black-faced pirates who robbed the people, harmed the people, and raped the girls! If it hadn't been for a man who came out later The generals on horseback have suffered a lot for the people in the city. It is strange to say that these pirates were arrested in front of them last night, but they appeared on the street openly this morning. Zhang guessed that they were trying to escape unprepared. Went out, now we have captured him and sent him to Shizhi County for disposal."
At Xiao Cheng's urging, the government officials brought Tang Xingguai up.
Shi Ruji glanced at Tang Xian and laughed: "What Zhang Qianhu said is that he must have escaped because of poor guarding! Someone, take him to the dungeon and imprison him under strict supervision!"
"Wait!"
Gu Zhengchen raised his hand to stop.
"how?"
Shi Ruji frowned.
Gu Zhengchen smiled and said: "Just one pirate can't be considered a big achievement. There were thirty-one pirates last night. I think these pirates also ran away. Did Shizhi County arrest all these pirates?" Come?"
The smile on Shi Ruji's face became stiff.
These thirty-one people were all members of the Tang family who looked after the family and the courtyard. They were all captured, but Tang Xian would not agree.
Gu Zhengchen continued: "The pirates are a serious problem for the imperial court. Not long ago, Marquis Jinghai controlled the navy of various provinces to eliminate the pirates. Your Majesty deeply felt that the pirates were abominable, but he made a decree and would not be lenient. Why, the county magistrate did not intend to do so. Catch the pirates, but let them hide in the city and start another robbery?"
"Of course that's not possible. It's just that the pirates ran away and are no longer in the city."
Shi Ruji said quickly.
Gu Zhengchen sneered: "The county magistrate did not investigate, so he said that the pirates are not in the city? If so, then I will have to call the Fujian Provincial Inspection School to investigate. If these harmful pirates are not caught in one day, I will Don’t leave Hui’an for a day, otherwise, you will be betraying the divine grace!”
When you opened your mouth, you didn't know what to say.
This Zhang San is too nosy, going around and around to force himself to arrest people. If he doesn't arrest him, he will intervene, and he still stays here and won't leave!
This won't work. The people in the Qingjun Duwei Mansion are all plague gods. It's better to send them away as soon as possible.
Shi Ruji glanced at Tang Xian and saw him nodding slightly, so he had to say: "The county government will arrange for people to catch the pirates."
"You go with them. Those pirates are very cunning. I heard from the people that they are very good at hiding, especially in big houses. Think about it, the yard is big and it is easy to hide people. You can take the yamen to find the people in the city. You can definitely find the largest courtyard." Gu Zhengchen gave Xiao Cheng some instructions, then looked at the scribe on the side, walked over, and asked slowly: "Scribe, is your home a big house?"
