At that moment, no one expected that Gao Kan would be so tough. Even if Ding Yuan brought out the title of Nanle Magistrate, he still showed no shame at all. On the contrary, his words were more intimidating.
Ding originally took the opportunity to stir up trouble. He didn't have any official documents in his hand, but he couldn't make up his mind at the moment.
While hesitating, the headman next to him asked: "Oshi, what should we do? Will we capture them and talk to them?"
"Don't worry about arresting Deng. Let me think about it."
Ding Yuan looked at Gaokan, thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "Someone came to report this morning that two people entered the blacksmith shop last night and did not return all night. Let me ask you, where are they?"
"Ding Yasi is asking this question. I just came out of the city this morning. All the officers and men at the city gate can testify. I was still in the city yesterday. How do I know what is happening outside the city?" Gao Kan chuckled and narrowed his eyes suddenly.
"I'm a little curious. Yesterday, my shopkeeper saw someone bullying a child here. He couldn't bear it, so he spent two hundred taels of silver to disperse the rogues. Just now, Ding Yasi said that there were two more people last night. Why do people come to the blacksmith shop in the middle of the night, and what does the person who reports to the official have to do with them?"
"Hmph, is it I who is asking you, or are you asking me?" Ding Yuan snorted coldly upon hearing this.
"You can ask me, and I can ask you, but doesn't Ding Si just want to know where those two people are? What's the harm in telling you?"
With a sneer, Gao Kan continued: "The two thieves are in the back room right now, being tied up and being escorted to the government!"
"What? You dare to kidnap someone for no reason?" Ding Yuan said angrily.
"How did Ding Yasi know that we were kidnapping people for no reason?" Gao Kan asked.
The words left Ding Yuan speechless and extremely angry.
I wonder when he, the dignified Nanyuefu Yamensi, would be questioned by a group of lowly merchants and find it difficult to answer?
When you are angry, you will use force.
Unexpectedly, Gao Kan was faster than him and said: "Come here, pull out those two thieves who are trying to set fire to people at night!"
When the waiter heard this, he immediately pushed and kicked the person out, pushed him to the ground and knelt down.
As soon as Ding Yuan saw the two of them, his expression immediately changed.
Looking at these two people, they all had pale faces. The leader saw Ding Yuan and quickly called for help.
"Ding Yasi, save me, these bitches dare to take action and want to kill people and silence them!"
Ding Yuan's face was ugly, and he stared at Gao Kan coldly and said: "You are so lawless that you dare to detain good people. Could it be that you regard the laws of the Song Dynasty as nothing?"
"I think it's you, Ding Yasi, who disregards the laws of the Song Dynasty." Gao Kan said coldly and took out a token from his waist.
He threw it directly to Ding Yuan and continued: "Please see clearly what this is."
Ding Yuan was puzzled at first. He took the token and took a look at it. His face suddenly changed: "The prince of the Palace Commander's Palace is here in person. You, you are..."
"It's easy to say that Gao Kan, a ration merchant under the name of the Tokyo Palace Commander, went to the Daming Mansion to escort the rations in the name of Captain Gao. How many of you have the brains to dare to stop the rations from escorting the team?" Gao Kan looked at Ding coldly. Yuan Qi asked.
Upon hearing this, Ding Yuan didn't dare to argue. He quickly held the token in both hands and raised it above his head, and respectfully presented it to him.
"The villain is not only escorting military supplies, but also almost causing a catastrophe. Please forgive me!"
He received the token with a cold face and heard Gao Kan say again: "Do you still need to open the container for inspection now?"
"If you don't check it, don't check it. Since it is escorting military rations, it is naturally needed by the military. This villain would not dare to check it even if he has the courage to do so." Ding Yuan said with an apologetic smile.
"You are very knowledgeable."
After speaking lightly, Gao Kan turned his eyes and said, "You just said that under the orders of the magistrate, all business travelers passing by should be checked. You would rather kill a hundred by mistake than let one go. Is this really true?"
"It's true!" Ding Yuan raised his head and said.
"My lord, I don't know. The day before yesterday, there was a group of troops from Shandong. It was personally escorted by the Shandong ambassador to the Tokyo Tong Taifu as a birthday gift. After passing through the Inner Yellow Realm, it disappeared without a trace. It lasted for several days. There was no news, and all the governments before and after sent people to investigate along the way, but nothing was found."
"Therefore, the government has ordered that thieves are suspected of looting. They have ordered strict searches along the way to arrest the thieves."
When Gao Kan heard this, his heart shook.
It seems that the robbery of the birthday card has been exposed, but the local officials have not yet found out who did it. Judging from this inspection order, they are just looking around like headless flies.
Jiang Jing's side must have been robbing homes and making a big fuss. As for Gongsun Sheng and the others, they would be moving faster than themselves.
If you think about it this way, as long as you can pass the test, everything will be fine.
While his thoughts were whirling, Gao Kan remained calm on his face and pulled Ding Yuan aside: "Ding Yasi, I'm here to ask you. Please tell me honestly and don't hide anything."
"I don't dare, but if I hear something, I can tell you everything I know!" Ding Yuan continued.
"Who robbed Taifu Tong's birth date and where is he?"
Gao Kan narrowed his eyes and asked coldly.
"this……"
Ding Yuan was confused when he heard the words, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "The villain really doesn't know about this matter. Not only the villain, but also the people in Neihuang don't know about it. If they know who did it, they won't be punished." Arrested by the officers and soldiers?"
"Is there no clue at all?" Gao Kan asked again.
"There are some rumors that there is a group of bandits in Neihuang. They have been entrenched in Huangmen Mountain all year round. They are called the 'Four Bandits of Huangmen Mountain'. It is said that the escort team once passed by the boundary of Huangmen Mountain and then disappeared without a trace, so it is extremely Maybe it was the bandits from Huangmen Mountain!" Ding Yuan explained.
After hearing this, Gao Kan immediately let out a long sigh of relief.
"So that's it. Since it's the Huangmen Mountain bandits who are the so-called bandits, then all we need to do is unite the officers and soldiers and crush the Huangmen Mountain bandit stronghold. I'm also worried about the bandits coming from nowhere, so don't ruin my big event again."
"Don't worry, sir. This incident happened in Naihuang, which is a hundred miles away from Nanle, not to mention the Daming Mansion where you are going." Ding Yuan said in a low voice.
"That's good. We have to stay here for one more day. This escort of military rations is a big deal. It involves the winter rations of 100,000 forbidden troops in Tokyo. No one can afford it if something happens. Therefore, our whereabouts must not be leaked. .”
After saying that, Gao Kan paused for a moment and stared directly at Ding Yuan: "If it is leaked, don't blame me!"
"Yes, yes, this villain is very knowledgeable and would never dare to reveal anything." Ding Yuan nodded repeatedly.
He didn't care whether Gao Kan and his party went to Daming Mansion to escort the military supplies. He only knew one thing, that Gao Kan was carrying the token of the Grand Lieutenant of the Palace Commander's Mansion.
Then the things they escorted belong to the Tokyo Taiwei.
How dare a small Nanle magistrate's yamen superintendent have the guts to interfere in the affairs of the Tokyo Taiwei?
Not to mention him, even the prefect of the yamen, if he heard about this, he would probably go in one ear and out the other, and he would not know what to do.
