After Li Yu heard the news, he did not show shock, but said to himself: "Sure enough, it was the Yamen who did it!"
Ti Wang wondered: "What's wrong?"
Li Yu said angrily: "Even though they are robbers, their families are innocent. Why are their families also arrested? Are these people in the Yamen still human beings?"
"Disciple! What are you going to say again?" Tiwang raised his tone.
Li Yu said: "Master, I went back to the village where they lived today. The village was in a mess, deserted, and there were signs of smashing and resistance everywhere. There is nothing wrong with the Yamen arresting people. Could it be that for their families and those old people? Are you showing no mercy to the weak, sick and disabled?"
Ti Wang said coldly: "People are not arrested by the Yamen."
After hearing this, Li Yu showed a little shock and asked, "Who is that?"
"Qian Bufei and the Yiyang Gang." Ti Wang said.
Li Yu couldn't believe it and murmured: "Qian Fei? How could he know that village?"
"There is something more surprising to you."
"What?"
"Do you know who took the lead in arresting them?"
"who?"
"He's the one who stopped me that day and refused to let me take you away!"
"Zhang Haiwei! It's impossible! He was the one who gathered this group of people, how could it be possible?"
"Moreover, his report was meritorious and he has now been exempted from all culpability by the Yamen."
"Master, please tell me everything you know."
Ti Wang nodded and told the whole story.
This afternoon, Magistrate Jiang and Master Zhu were about to go out. When they walked to the gate, they saw people from the Yiyang Gang, leading a group of people to the gate of the county government with great fanfare and loud gongs and drums. As they walked, they started shouting: " Punish evil and promote good, eradicate violence and bring peace to the good. I am Yiyang, brave and strong!" The leaders were Qian Bufei and Guo Renjie, the leader of the Yiyang Gang. Qian Fufei walked up to Jiang Zhixian with a smile on his face and said hello, "Hello, Jiang Zhixian, we meet again."
Jiang Zhixian and Master Zhu were about to go to see Ding Xiaowu, but were blocked by the Yiyang Gang's formation. They were a little unhappy and said, "Exceptor Qian, what are you doing?"
Qian Fufei said: "The past few days have brought a lot of trouble to our county government, and Qian really felt bad about it. So he tried his best to catch these bandits in one fell swoop. Sir, please take a look!" Then he said Pointing at those people who had been kidnapped by Wuhuada of the Yiyang Gang.
Jiang Zhixian looked down from the gate of the county government office. Although he didn't know the other people, he had seen Li Chunlin before. He frowned and asked, "How did you catch these thieves?"
Qian Fufei said: "Replying to your lord, it is mainly our brothers from the Yiyang Gang who, under the leadership of Gang Leader Guo, were so brave and powerful that they were able to catch all these thieves in one fell swoop." After saying this, Guo Renjie in the audience felt very proud. Chest.
Jiang Zhixian asked: "I'm not asking you who caught him! I'm asking, how did you catch him?"
Qian Fufei still smiled and said: "Sir, don't worry. I will recommend someone to you." He shouted to the people below: "Come here."
Zhang Haiwei ran quickly from the crowd and said respectfully to Magistrate Jiang: "Zhang Haiwei, a common man, has met Mr. Jiang."
Jiang Zhixian looked at Zhang Haiwei, recognized him, and said, "Oh? Aren't you the one who showed up at the Yamen a few days ago to save your accomplices?"
Zhang Haiwei said: "Exactly."
Jiang Zhixian said angrily: "Then why don't you tie them up together!"
Qian Fufei said: "Mr. Jiang, thanks to this man abandoning the dark side and turning to the bright side, we were able to kill this gang in one fell swoop."
At this time, Li Chunlin below immediately yelled at Zhang Haiwei: "Zhang Haiwei! You bitch! You actually betrayed us!"
"Yes! You are worse than a pig or a dog!"
"You are not a human! You have no father or mother! We trust you so much!" For a moment, the robbers below were shouting and cursing at Wang Haiwei. Seeing this, the people from the Yiyang Gang punched the robbers. Kick them and shut them up.
"Stop! Even if these robbers are criminals, you can't beat them and scold them at will!" Zhu said scolding the people of the Yiyang Gang.
Guo Renjie looked at Zhu Shuo with disdain and asked, "Who are you? Why haven't I seen you before?"
Zhu said: "I am the master of this county government. Although these people are robbers, they are also our common people in the Song Dynasty. They must be dealt with by the government. It is not your turn to take over!"
Upon seeing this, County Magistrate Jiang said, "Come here! Put these thieves in jail!" Then, the county officials came out and took Li Chunlin and others away. A government official walked up to Jiang Zhixian, looked at Zhang Haiwei, and asked Jiang Zhixian: "Will this person be arrested?"
When Jiang Zhixian was hesitating, Zhang Yamen came out and said: "Sir, although this group of robbers committed several crimes, fortunately they did not hurt anyone. Now that these people have been arrested under this person's report, they should be arrested." Exonerate this person from his sins. Otherwise, where will anyone be willing to take refuge in you, sir?"
Jiang Zhixian glared at Yamen Zhang and said, "Old Zhang! You!"
Qian Bufei took advantage of the situation and said: "Yes, Mr. Jiang. This matter is also thanks to Zhang Yamen, who found this person during the search, moved him with emotion, and persuaded him with reason, so that he was willing to take the blame and make meritorious service." Yes. Now that the thief problem has been eliminated, your Excellency will definitely be praised by the court. As for this person, even though he once fell into the trap of being a bandit, he has now abandoned the secret and turned to the bright side. It is okay to make up for his mistakes and exempt this person from the crime count. "
The two men sang in harmony, and Jiang Zhixian had no choice but to say: "This person will not be pursued for the time being. As for the Yiyang Gang, they have made great achievements in suppressing the bandits. I will apply for a commendation from the court. Let's all be dismissed." Jiang Zhixian didn't want to waste time here.
At this time, the members of the Yiyang Gang were shouting, "Mr. Qian is smart! Gang Leader Guo is mighty! Mr. Qian is smart! Gang Leader Guo is mighty!" They did not take Jiang Zhixian's words seriously at all.
"See you soon, the gate of the county government office is so lively." A voice enveloped these people, and everyone present could feel that the voice was as if it was next to their own ears, with lingering sounds. The gang members stopped shouting and looked around. I saw a man in simple clothes, but exuding a soft and noble aura, walking slowly towards the crowd with his hands behind his back. Just as these gang members were looking at this person in confusion, Guo Renjie, the leader of the Yiyang Gang, immediately walked over and asked respectfully and tentatively: "Are you? Deputy Leader Hua?"
Hua Feng glanced at Guo Renjie and said, "Oh, who was I then? Gang Leader Guo."
Guo Renjie said angrily: "Deputy Leader Hua, do you still remember me?"
Hua Feng said: "Every time we pay the alliance fee, your Yiyang Gang always takes the lead. Of course I will remember it."
Guo Renjie chuckled and asked, "Deputy Leader Hua, why are you here? Why don't you come and sit with me?"
Hua Feng said: "No need, the alliance leader asked me to help suppress the bandits in Xinyang County. Now that Gang Leader Guo has been dealt with, I just want to have some peace and quiet. I really appreciate the help of Gang Leader Guo." After Hua Feng finished speaking, he asked Guo Renjie made a bow.
Guo Renjie said with some embarrassment: "Where! Where! You are doing harm to the people!" Seeing Hua Feng slowly walking towards the county government gate, Guo Renjie said to the gang: "Let's go, let's go back." Guo Renjie took Qian Fufei and the gang and left outside the county government office.
When Hua Feng walked to the gate of the county government office, County Magistrate Jiang said, "Thank you very much, Deputy Leader Hua."
Hua Feng said: "Thank you for what I did, it's just that they blocked my way."
After listening to Ti Wang's speech, Li Yu said excitedly: "Hua Feng," swallowed his saliva, and continued after a short while: "The deputy leader is really awesome!"
Ti Wang said: "The leader of the Yiyang Gang, Guo Renjie, seems to be very afraid of him."
Li Yu said: "That's natural. The Jianghu Alliance is certified by the emperor and manages all the sects, sects, and gangs in Jianghu. Who dares not to give face to Vice Alliance Leader Hua?"
Ti Wang asked: "Is this oath Jiangmeng an organization under the jurisdiction of the imperial court?"
"Not really. I heard my mother say that it was a spontaneous organization in the past. Originally, the martial arts world and the imperial court were at odds with each other. Later Liu Zhan, the leader of the alliance, somehow convinced Emperor Taizong, who recognized the organization. Anyway, , Emperor Taizong even married his daughters to him, maybe because he trusted him." Li Yu said.
Ti Wang nodded and said: "However, this alliance leader has such strength, I'm afraid that alliance leader Liu Zhan's martial arts is even more unfathomable."
Li Yu said: "Let's not talk about it for now. Master, have you really not heard anything about the family members of this group of bandits?"
Ti Wang shook his head and said: "I was near the gate at the time. I heard everything they said. No one mentioned anything about those people's families."
Li Yu fell into deep thought.
"Wow! Ahhh!" came some small voices. Ti Wang asked: "What is the sound?"
Li Yu realized it immediately and slapped his thigh, "Oh! There is another person outside the yard!" Li Yu quickly came out and brought Chen Dadong in. Ti Wang looked at this slovenly, slurred and crazy Chen Dadong with some doubts. However, Ti Wang was a monk after all, so he did not look down upon him and asked slowly: "Disciple, who is this?"
Li Yu said a little disappointed: "This is the brother of one of them. He seems to be born with a weak intelligence. It was he who came to see me this afternoon, and I came back there."
Ti Wang bowed with one palm, then brushed Chen Dadong's dirty hair, and said: "Amitabha. Although he is not full of wisdom, he is kind, and his frail state is concerned about his family. He must have come here specifically to save his family. Yours. Disciple, you go and freshen him up, and I'll make some food."
Li Yu nodded, and Chen Dadong followed Li Yu to wash up obediently. However, when Chen Dadong was washing his face and bathing, he was jumping up and down very dishonestly and couldn't stop for a moment. Li Yu couldn't hold him, so he had to ask his master to tap his acupuncture points first, then wash his face and bathe him, and change him into a pair of clothes. After unblocking the acupuncture points, he took him to eat, but he still kept babbling and running around, which gave Li Yu a headache. He didn't know how the three girls took care of Chen Dadong on weekdays. However, Tiwang was very patient with Chen Dadong, slowly following him and feeding him. After dinner, I forgot to talk about Buddhism to Chen Dadong. Chen Dadong couldn't understand and could only bark. After struggling for a while, he might have been tired, so he curled up and lay on the ground and fell asleep.
Ti Wang walked out of the door, and Li Yu was lying on the stairs outside the door looking exhausted. When he saw Ti Wang, he immediately stood up and asked, "Master, is he asleep?"
Tiwang nodded. Li Yu was silent for a while and said, "Master, I want to go to the city tomorrow to find traces of their family members."
Ti Wang said: "Have you thought about it clearly?"
Li Yu nodded firmly and said, "I have thought it through."
Ti Wang said: "Oh, I am not as good as hell, who will go to hell. Maybe this is your fate. Well, tomorrow morning, when the gatekeepers of Xinyang City take over their shifts, you follow me in. At Haishi, after the sun sets, you and I will walk from the city wall. Jump up and out of the city."
Li Yu said with some embarrassment: "Okay. By the way, Master, the water in this water tank is not full yet?"
Ti Wang said: "It doesn't matter. One or two tanks of water are missing. It won't have much impact. You can have a good rest." Li Yu went back to the house to rest. Ti Wang looked at Li Yu's back and saw that Li Yu was so kind. He has a kind heart and secretly decided to keep him safe.
