"What's the name of this poor man? Bai Lang has short eyesight and didn't recognize him for a moment." Bai Lang was locked on an iron pillar inserted deep into the ground. The lock on his hand was still twisted. His arms were behind his back and his legs were stretched straight. He was fixed on the ground in an extremely uncomfortable position and could only move his body slightly. But Bailang did not answer the other party's words, but asked the other party's name.
If you don't pass the trial after entering the Yamen, you will be detained directly as a prisoner. And they didn't even go through the process of making a confession or identifying someone. From the moment he came up, he had the attitude of Linwei. It already clearly explains the other side’s position. No cover-up at all.
"Hey, what? You want revenge for asking me my name?"
"No, no, no, Mr. Chai is on top. Bailang is just worried that he doesn't know Mr. Chai's name, so he won't know if he collides with him in the future."
"Okay! My name is Zhang Liang, and I am from Yongchuan. You, Bai Lang, can come to me later if you have the ability. But now that you are in my hands, you should be more honest with me. Otherwise, there will be many tricks in the yamen. If I use it on you, you will never forget it until you die."
Bai Lang twisted his body and said with a smile: "What did Team Leader Zhang say? Bai Lang also relies on luck to earn a living, so how can he dare to go against the boss in the yamen? If Team Leader Zhang has any orders, just tell him, Bai Lang still needs to be able to do that Just don’t say a word.”
"Okay! Tell us about you and Dazhangzhuang."
Everyone is understanding from the moment they open their mouths. I didn’t even mention anything like “stealing money” before. I just got straight to the point, saving myself from unnecessary words and getting to the point right away.
"Dazhangzhuang?" Bailang shook his head and said, "They are just a bunch of dishonest bankers. They think they have a lot of money and know a few people, but they can't recognize their position. To be honest, their trouble is not the knife shop. He started to take action, but he couldn't catch it after only three or two strikes, so he forced Team Leader Zhang to take action. Tsk tsk, Team Leader Zhang, do you think it's okay for Dazhangzhuang to find you?"
Zhang Liang slapped the table hard and threatened: "Bai Lang, this is the side room of the Yamen, not the entrance to the Qianmen Swordsman's Hall. Please speak to me!"
"Hehe." Bailang smiled and tilted his head, but did not answer the question. He could already feel from Zhang Liang's stern tone that the words he just said had actually touched the other party.
Is it possible to reverse the disadvantage by convincing Bailang? Bai Lang had already beaten Dazhangzhuang to the point of panic by his own actions. Now that he had convinced Bai Lang, what he had forced out would definitely not be a disadvantage turning into an advantage, but the direct intervention of the knife studio. Will there be a good one in Dazhangzhuang by then?
Zhang Liang doesn’t understand? He understands very well. It's just that I can't get used to the sword shop, and there is the support of the deputy judge above. Even if things don't go as expected in the end, it won't affect the people in their yamen. On the contrary, it is a good opportunity to test and beat the sword shop. Even if Bai Lang hadn't suddenly been appointed as the town hall, the Yamen wouldn't have been so anxious to bring Bai Lang in. He didn't have enough weight before, but now his status as a town hall is just right.
"Bai Lang, whether or not the swordsmanship is in the swordsmanship hall is an afterthought. I brought you here to solve the current matter. Your brother didn't suffer, right? The one who got beaten up was Dazhangzhuang's son. Dazhangzhuang will ask you to compensate later. Forget it if you don’t pay for the decoction and medicine. You knocked out two back molars in a man’s body. Did you go too far? Then you instigated Ma Liu to take advantage of the situation and the city lord’s palace to greet Li Xun and cut off his Dazhangzhuang. Isn’t it a bit of a bully to make money?”
"No, Captain Zhang, what you said is wrong. Dazhangzhuang's business has nothing to do with me. Whether it's Ma Liu or Li Xun, what does it have to me if they cut off Dazhangzhuang's financial path?" Relationship? To untie the bell, one must tie the bell. Instead of solving the problem, Da Zhangzhuang just stares at me, an irrelevant person, and makes it difficult. Isn’t it a waste of effort? "
"Bai Lang! Don't you know good from evil! I'm talking to you properly. Do you really think I dare not touch you?" Zhang Liang suddenly stood up from the chair, picked up a vine whip on the table in his hand, and threw it away , staring at Bai Lang fiercely. The meaning couldn't be more obvious. If you don't soften, you will be beaten.
Bailang's expression didn't change. I have been in the knife shop for several years, and I have experienced life and death. It's not like I haven't seen blood. It's just a whip. It's obviously unrealistic to scare him with just two whips. Moreover, Bailang was certain that the knife studio was already active in this matter, and there was absolutely no need for him to soften at this time.
Not only did he not soften, Bai Lang also smiled and said: "Boss Zhang, things will be different if you swing the whip on me. You have to think clearly."
"It's different? Hehe, okay! Bailang, let's see how I can whip you up!" Zhang Liang knew what he was doing and what risks he was taking, but he couldn't retreat. Once you can't suppress the other party's momentum, it will be even more difficult to develop later. This time, he got the deputy judge's guarantee that he would do the work first, and the deputy judge would take over the consequences. This is not to mention the benefits afterwards. Definitely worth the fight.
Besides, which one of the government officials is used to looking at someone from a knife shop? Why would you hesitate when you have such a good opportunity to vent your anger?
So Zhang Liang smiled ferociously and raised the thorn vine whip in his hand. He rounded his arms and was about to hit Bailang's inside. This time the whip was so strong that he had to tear off a piece of flesh on Bailang's face. It will definitely be good in the future. Scars that cannot be healed. This is definitely a huge loss of face for the people in the mixed knife studio. The ruthlessness is evident.
"Zhang Liang! How dare you!"
Zhang Liang's arms were rounded and before the whip fell, the door to the side room was kicked open. Two government servants also wearing navy blue robes came in first, followed by a middle-aged man with a long beard in a blue shirt. . The middle-aged man yelled angrily.
Zhang Liang's hand finally stopped and he stopped swinging the whip. He knew that if he pretended not to hear in front of his face, it would be really difficult for him in the yamen in the future. At that time, even if there is a deputy referee covering it, it will be still uncomfortable. Because the person who came was Chen Qilu, the master in charge of writing and disseminating all official comments in the yamen.
"Master Chen!" Zhang Liang put down the whip in his hand, bowed and saluted Chen Qilu, who rushed in angrily.
"Zhang Liang, you are so courageous! You planned to frame passers-by, but they were directly tortured. Did you regard the Yamen as your place of lynching? Where did you put the Yamen and the law in such a way?"
Zhang Liang is very self-aware. Although he is the head of the yamen team with more than a dozen people in prison, his status is not as good as that of Chen Qilu in front of him. Moreover, he is not reasonable in reasoning, and even scolds him for being more talkative. But the other party. It would be better to just give in and put up a shield.
So Zhang Liang lowered his head and replied: "Young man is just following orders. If Master has any advice, please ask Deputy Judge Liao."
"Deputy Judge Liao? Oh, Zhang Liang, do you mean you can't listen to what I say?"
"I don't dare! It's just that I'm subordinate to Deputy Judge Liao. If the master gives orders that are not in line with the rules, it will make it difficult for me to do it."
"Very good! Zhang Liang, it is true that you are not under my control, Chen Qilu, but don't forget that as the Yamen Master, I have the responsibility to check for omissions, addendums and correct errors in all cases. How many irregularities are there in your case today? And there are more How many of them are just recklessly ignoring the laws and regulations? You don't know clearly?"
"Then we have to ask Master to ask Deputy Judge Liao to punish Xiao." Zhang Liang knew he couldn't hide, so he naturally had to find his way to the dark side.
So Chen Qilu snorted and ordered to suspend Bailang's case in accordance with the rules. Bai Lang was imprisoned in the dungeon and had to wait for Chen Qilu to go to Deputy Judge Liao mentioned in Zhang Liang's mouth before he could come to a conclusion.
However, although this back and forth did not allow Bailang to escape directly, it also saved Bailang from being tortured. What a big help. Otherwise, Bailang would definitely have a hard time.
