Although Changsheng has been running between Hubu and Yushitai recently, he will go back to Yushitai to rest every night, and no matter how late he comes back, Datou and others will be waiting for him. Datou reports to Ni The income generated by the various industries left by the family, Yang Kai is talking about the political situation of the imperial court, including the reports reported by civil and military officials in the early dynasty and some things that happened in the six yamen. What Yu Yi reported was the situation regarding the dispatch of inspection envoys to local areas.
As the saying goes, a good man has three gangs. No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot do everything by himself. He must have several capable helpers who can share his worries.
Shi Xuanming hid in Yushitai during the day to train the police officers in martial arts, but he couldn't find anyone at night, and he had been staying out all night recently, and the amount of silver withdrawn from Yushitai's account room was also increasing. The more, nearly 10,000 taels were withdrawn in the two months after the new year alone.
Shi Xuanming had previously told Changsheng that he wanted to enter the world and practice cultivation. In Shi Xuanming's own words, he wanted to "feel the suffering of the world and experience the joy of the world." 'In Shi Xuanming's view, he regards wine, sex and wealth as a scourge and avoids them. This is a lack of confidence in his own concentration. Staying away from temptation is the practice of Hinayana Buddhism. A person who has never been tempted will never be qualified to say that he can withstand temptation. A monk who does not understand the pain and joy of the world will never be qualified to guide others.
Chang Sheng can understand Xuan Ming's approach. To put it simply, avoiding the tigers of drunkenness, lust, wealth, and wealth is not a real skill. Taking the initiative to rush up to defeat the tigers of drunkenness, lust, wealth, and retreat is the real skill. Shi Xuanming is a drunkard. For a monk, wine and meat are not tempting to him. He can drink wine and eat meat, or he can eat vegetarian food. And money has no attraction for Shi Xuanming, which can be seen from the fact that he has been spending money like water in recent times. Shi Xuanming's mood has been very unstable recently. He was very impatient when teaching the police to practice martial arts. He would be in a daze from time to time, and he would disappear at night.
Changsheng guessed from Shi Xuanming's recent withdrawal of silver that he was trapped in love, and the other party was probably not a girl from a good family, because a girl from a good family didn't have such a big appetite, and was most likely a prostitute from the Fireworks Willow Alley.
Worried that Shi Xuanming would fall into trap, Changsheng instructed Datou to investigate secretly. The results of Datou's secret investigation verified his guess. The place where Shi Xuanming often went was a brothel called Anxiangfang, and this Anxiangfang was also a brothel. Rebuilt on the old site of Pingkangfang,
It has been the practice and rule of the past dynasties to fill the brothels with the female relatives of guilty ministers. Although Chen Liqiu's burning of Kangfang caused an uproar, it could not completely put an end to this bad habit. Like this kind of official brothels, they were all run by the palace's imperial brothels. To operate.
Changsheng was very curious about what kind of woman could enchant Shi Xuanming. After Shi Xuanming withdrew two thousand taels of silver from the accounting room and went out, he called Datou. The two of them changed into casual clothes and wanted to go to Anxiangfang. go.
As soon as he walked out of the gate, Changsheng heard the urgent sound of horse hooves from the west. He turned his head when he heard the sound and saw a black horse galloping towards here from the street to the west.
Although the black horse was still far away from the gate of Yushitai, Changsheng still confirmed at a glance that the black horse was the black master he gave to Ni Chenyi. He was familiar with the sound of the black master's hoofbeats and the posture when it was running.
While Changsheng turned to look west, Datou also followed his line of sight and saw Young Master Hei, "Sir, it seems to be your mount."
Changsheng didn't answer. Young Master Hei thought he saw him, accelerated suddenly, and came to him with a few leaps, jumping around him, kicking and dancing.
Young Master Hei returned alone, with a saddle on his horse and a rein on its head.
Changsheng was surprised and happy that Young Master Hei had left and returned, but at this time he was more worried. He had already given Young Master Hei to Ni Chenyi, and everyone in the Ni family was escorted by many purple energy masters from Taoism. After arriving safely in the Western Region, Mr. Hei suddenly left and returned. Could it be that something unexpected happened to Ni Chenyi?
Feeling suspicious, he grabbed Young Master Hei and carefully observed the reins and saddle. The reins were not complete, but broken in the middle. The break was very rough and uneven, which meant that it was not cut off with a sharp blade. Black Master knows how to untie the reins by himself. He should have untied it by himself. When he ran back, the reins dragged on the ground and were broken by his own step.
Looking at the saddle again, it was the original saddle, and there was no blood on it. When wiped with your hands, you could see that there was a thick layer of dust on it.
Seeing Changsheng's serious expression, Datou guessed what he was thinking, "Sir, the Taoist priests accompanying them have delivered them safely. There were no accidents on the way. Your horse should have run back by itself."
"It should be. If Ni Chenyi takes the initiative to let it back, he will definitely take off its reins." Changsheng nodded and said. He has been with Mr. Hei day and night and knows a lot about him. If Ni Chenyi encounters an accident, Mr. Hei will definitely be anxious. Revealed, at this time, Mr. Hei only had the closeness and excitement of seeing each other again after a long absence.
The big head looked around Mr. Hei, "Your horse is very humane. I must have seen the Taoist priests who were traveling with me turn around and go back. I felt that I had completed the errand you asked me to do, so I left without saying goodbye and ran back secretly."
"It can do this." Changsheng nodded.
"It's thousands of miles away, and it's really not easy to find it alone across mountains and rivers." Datou praised.
Young Master Hei was held back by Chang Sheng and could not let go of his joy, so he turned around and wanted to go to the yard.
Changsheng pulled it back, then let go of the reins, raised his hand and pointed to the west, "Let's go find her."
"Sir, you are..."
Before Datou could finish speaking, Changsheng waved his hand to interrupt him, then pointed to the west again, "Let's go back."
Changsheng's tone was very stern, and the black master was very frustrated. He dug his front hooves into the ground and sneezed loudly.
Under Chang Sheng's repeated scoldings, Young Master Hei finally turned around and walked westward.
Upon seeing this, Chang Sheng hurriedly called out to it. When Master Hei turned around, he raised his hand and pointed north, "Go in."
Hearing Changsheng's words, Young Master Hei immediately turned from worry to joy and trotted back to the stable.
Only then did Datou understand why Changsheng had ordered the Black Master to go back. He wanted to confirm whether the Black Master could find Ni Chenyi, and the Black Master turned around and headed west to show that he knew where Ni Chenyi was and could find her again.
Although Changsheng gave Young Master Hei to Ni Chenyi, he did not dismantle its stable. When the two returned to the backyard, Young Master Hei had already opened the curtain and ran into the stable. He was drinking water from the sink with his head lowered.
Changsheng unloaded the saddle of Young Master Hei, untied the reins, and brought in fodder and replenished the water.
"Sir, Young Master Hei can find Miss Ni," Datou said. "After a while, when you are not so busy, you can take the time to go to the Western Regions to see her."
Changsheng shook his head.
Seeing Changsheng shaking his head, Datou Duo had doubts. Changsheng had previously tested Mr. Hei to see if he could find Ni Chenyi. Wasn't it because he wanted to see her in the future?
"Sir, it was finally found back. You won't drive it away again, right?" Datou asked again.
Changsheng shook his head again, "If you don't want to rush, let him follow me first."
Da Tou is as attentive as a hair, he can hear Chang Sheng's words, and he can keenly guess what Chang Sheng is thinking through the word "Xian". Chang Sheng will also ask Mr. Hei to find Ni Chenyi, but not now, but at some time in the future.
After settling the black master, the two walked out of the censor's stage through the gate again.
As soon as he walked out of the censor's stage, a ragged beggar rushed out of the darkness. This person was an unkempt woman, probably between thirty and forty years old, holding a wooden stick in her left hand. Shouting injustice, he staggered towards the two of them and ran towards them.
The beggar appeared too suddenly. Worried that there was some fraud, Datou rushed to meet the beggar before he ran over, "Who is it?!"
Without waiting for the beggar to answer, several officials hurriedly ran over from the street to the west. Two of them dragged the beggar away, while the other one stepped forward and saluted Changsheng, "This crazy woman is so crazy that she bumped into your lord, your lord." Frightened."
"Let her go." Changsheng said.
"Lord Qi, this crazy woman is delirious and talking nonsense..."
Before the person could finish speaking, Datou stepped forward and slapped the person on the ear, "My lord, please let her go!"
The slap was so loud that not only the person who spoke was stunned on the spot, but the two officials who took action were also stunned. The unkempt woman took the opportunity to break away from the two men's dragging, and ran to the steps and knelt down. He said, "Master Qingtian, the civilian women have grievances. Please make the decision for the civilian women."
"Who are you? What grievances are there?" Changsheng asked casually.
"My lord, I asked, the commoner woman, Zhang Wang, is from Jeju." As she spoke, the woman reached into her arms and took out a piece of cloth tremblingly, "Complaint, the commoner woman asked someone to write a complaint."
Da Tou stepped forward to take the square piece of cloth, spread it out, and saw that it was densely covered with handwriting. After confirming that there was nothing unusual about the complaint, Da Tou presented it to Changsheng.
Changsheng took the piece of cloth that still had the woman's body temperature and said, "How do you know I can make the decision for you?"
The woman said with a trembling voice, "They told me that the Yushitai is in charge of officials. When you came out, the official at the door bowed to you, so the woman guessed that you were an official of the Yushitai."
Since the piece of cloth had been kept close to the woman's body, the writing on it had been wetted by the woman's sweat and was very blurry. Chang Sheng took a quick glance at it and found out that the cause of the matter was a dispute over the land. The Zhang family's land was stolen by someone else. It turned out that the person who had occupied the Zhang family's property was a relative of Li Zheng. Li Zheng bribed the county magistrate, and the county magistrate was corrupt and perverted the law and awarded the Zhang family's property to others.
The Zhang family was dissatisfied with the county magistrate's decision, so they went to the government to redress their grievances. This stirred up a hornet's nest. The county magistrate thought that the Zhang family had disgraced him and was disgraced, so he found some reason to kill the Zhang family. All the property was confiscated.
The Zhang family was getting more and more wronged. Seeing that the government could not provide them with justice, they went to the state to drum and redress their grievances. Now even the state officials were angry. They did not want to solve the problem, but to deal with the person who raised the issue, and directly issued an order. Put all the Zhang family father and son in prison...
