please respect yourself

The wine hadn't been served yet, but a few disheveled appetizers.Several people frowned and looked at each other.

"May I ask who is the distinguished guest who paid the bill?" The waiter asked with a coarse cloth draped over his shoulders.

Yan Suiyuan said lightly, "It's me."

The waiter said: "Our masters are welcome."

The ingot of silver that Yan Sui wished to settle the bill was branded by the capital.The faction at this tavern looks tricky, so what if he offered to give some bait?

He thought the other party was a big shot, but Yan Suiyuan was completely dumbfounded when he met him.

The head of the house is not the fat man with big ears, he is skinny and has a disheveled face. At first glance, he thought he had escaped from the famine.

Yan Suiyuan guessed that this person might not be the head of the family, but just a puppet.

As soon as the man saw Yan Suiyuan, he immediately fell to his knees and prostrated himself on the ground, "Please Lord Yan uphold justice for grassroots people!"

Yan Suiyuan frowned slightly, this person actually knew him.Then he asked: "Who recommended you to wait for me here?"

The skinny man took a deep breath, not expecting that what the lord said was so accurate.The lord who recommended him here said that the lord in front of him must have seen through at one stroke that he was recommended here.Sure enough, so you can only tell the truth?

The person said: "The grassroots really don't know the identity of that nobleman. The nobleman only said that in the future, when the grassroots are justified and justice is done, you will naturally know the identity of the nobleman."

Yan Suiyuan's eyes fell on this person, his cheeks were thin and his bones were sunken, he really didn't look like a subordinate who could be loyal to anyone.Without making a sound, he said, "tell me about your grievances in detail."

The person who looked like a walking corpse suddenly fell like rain, and tears hit the back of his hand.Cyan blood vessels adhered to the dry wood hand bones, and teardrops rolled along the narrowed blood vessels, soaking the flesh on the back of his hands like a cracked dry field, and like a general snatching out of gray carbon.

He said: "I want to sue the officials of Jinzhou Yicheng!"

The two deputy envoys and You'an who were following Yan Suiyuan's side turned pale with astonishment. The citizens of Zhoucheng want to sue a city official, which is really shocking and unheard of.

Yan Suiyuan's eyebrows remained unmoved, like a mirror in a pool without shock.However, the tone of his speech again was completely different.The tone is like a pile of stones crushing a strong bamboo, a square inch weighs ten thousand.Every word was filled with lead, "What's your first and last name? A city official, can you give more details?"

The two deputy envoys and You'an were all trembling, looking at Yan Suiyuan tremblingly.

The man moved his lips, and said, "Ergou, king of Caomin, is from Yangdan Village. Caomin wants to sue the governor of Jinzhou, Bie Jia, Chang Shi, Sima, recorder, join the army...everyone!"

There seems to be suspicion between Yan Suiyuan's eyebrows.

But You'an and the two deputy envoys had different expressions, they didn't know whether to cry or laugh for a moment.Those who cry are the many people involved in the case of Lu Tunjin, and those who laugh are the name and origin of this person.

However, when the three were dumbfounded.Yan Sui wished to say: "Wang Ergou, get up and explain the case to me in detail."

The three of them were a little dazed, seeing that the elder of their family, Zhilan Yushu, was spotless.Wang Ergou actually barks like 'Master Cheng'.

Cheng Zangzhi, who was far away in the corner of Yangdan Village, sneezed suddenly, then pinched the tip of his nose, and muttered in a low voice, "Could it be that Yan Suiyuan misses me?"

The corner of Zhuge Luan's mouth twitched, and he couldn't control his tongue and said, "Master Cheng, you may not feel too good about yourself."

Cheng Zangzhi commanded his troops, tilting his head and squinting at him: "What do you know, if you want others to love you, you must first be narcissistic."

Zhuge Luan couldn't bear to stare at him, so he could only look at his oiled paper umbrella.Outspoken, comparable to Yan Suiyuan, "It's the first time I've heard others describe unrequited love so freshly and refinedly."

A group of soldiers in the distance were packing boxes, Cheng Zangzhi took a look, and then looked at Zhuge Luan in response, "Don't you miss me?"

"..." Zhuge Luan's ice face became even more rigid, and he stared at Cheng Zangzhi, "Am I blind, or are you narcissistic?"

Cheng Zangzhi said: "Then I like Yan Suiyuan, what's the matter with you, you always pour cold water here." He squinted his eyes, his eyes were already dangerous, "Could it be that you also like Yan Suiyuan and plan to snatch him from me?" ?”

"..." Zhuge Luan opened the umbrella in his hand like a zombie, "Master Cheng, when we meet again in Yanzhou, I hope you can be a human being."

Seeing Zhuge Luan turning around, Cheng Zangzhi smiled, but suddenly called him back, "Leave that umbrella behind you!"

Zhuge Luan turned his head and looked at him vigilantly, "Master Cheng, don't treat yourself too much like a livestock."

Cheng Zangzhi didn't get angry because of his curse, "Huangquan Qingxiao has two umbrellas, one is enough for you to save your little lover. After you save your little lover, don't always be so angry at the world and look down on others' kindness and love." .”

"..." Like a volcano about to erupt, Zhuge Luan removed Qingxiao from Huangquan's umbrella, threw it over and said, "It really is a livestock!"

Yan Sui wished that with just a cup of tea, he could sort out the tragedy of Wang Ergou's Yangdan Village.

Although Yangdan Village has a humble name, it is a wealthy village.Not only is there a high yield in animal husbandry, but also the output of rice is extremely high.Xu is the cause of Huai Bi's crime. Since the disaster of the Shannan Road Bing Revolution ten years ago, Yangdan Village has been in dire straits.

Originally thought that the imperial army would put down the rebels, and they would be able to live a stable life as before.They never wanted to make trouble with soldiers. Their wealthy village was first looted by the imperial army, and then looted by the state officials newly sent by the imperial court.There has been no peace since.

Wang Ergou rolled up his hemp sleeves, the freezing cold did not make him shiver, because he had no flesh.

Ji Ying stared like a bell, he gaped and said: "This,, this,, that,, that, even soldiers on the battlefield don't have such injuries."

Yan Suiyuan frowned, the situation was more serious than he imagined.Even though he knew that this person was the mastermind behind the scenes, or hindered him from investigating the Lu Lao Tunjin case.But the people behind the scenes were right.In the face of this situation, he really couldn't stand by and watch.

Wang Ergou said: "Since the village was destroyed and all the young and vigorous people in the village were snatched away by the government, the fields could not be cultivated, and the cattle and sheep could not be kept. We old, weak, sick and disabled can only sell ourselves. Raising a child."

Another deputy asked: "Since you are old, weak, sick and disabled, how can you sell yourself to support your children?"

Wang Ergou's eyes were filled with sorrow, infinitely desolate and painful.He said: "There is a holy sect in Jianghu called Reincarnation Emperor Cult. They buy human skins, no matter how big or small. The arm of Caomin is sold to them."

"Is there such a crooked sect?!"

Wang Ergou sneered, "Compared to the imperial court, they are willing to give us rations, so they can be regarded as living Bodhisattvas in the world!"

Hearing the words, the deputy envoy shut up resentfully.He is in the imperial court, how could he not know that the imperial court is now divided into two factions.Everyone is in danger, and they all have to rely on the Metropolitan Procuratorate or the Prime Minister to survive.How can there be people who care about the common people.

Yan Suiyuan thought about it for a long time, and said: "The person who taught you to block the official behind the scenes, why didn't he avenge you?"

You'an, Ji Ying and the other deputy envoys were all taken aback. According to Yan Shangshu's straightforward temperament, they shouldn't take this person to check the evidence first, and then go straight to Huanglong to ransack the house of a person involved in the case and behead him.How could you still care about others?

This is not like Yan Suiyuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment who is as fearful as a tiger but admired by all the officials in Qingjing.

Wang Ergou hesitated slightly, and then said: "The nobleman gave a word to the grassroots. The grassroots don't remember very clearly, and they vaguely remember something. It is not Qin Ye, who belongs to Qin Ye. In the end, the man sighed——the world's affairs, how can you bear it?" in this way."

Yan Suiyuan's expression was suddenly like snow falling outside, freezing to the bone."Is that all?" he asked.

Wang Ergou nodded and put down his hemp sleeves.

Yan Suiyuan looked at this citizen of the Great Ning Dynasty, his clothes were ragged, and the cotton wool was torn from the holes.The whole person is thin and old, and the skin color on his body is turbid, so he can't tell whether it is because of Wang Ergou's wandering and uncleanness, or whether he is poor and cold and cannot see his original skin color.

These are the people under the rule of the Daning Dynasty that he believes in, and they are the people that he believes in the law can save back to heaven.

Yan Sui would like to take off his fur and tie it for Wang Ergou.Wang Ergou was overwhelmed by the flattery, and immediately declined: "My lord, how can a villain be so humble that he can stain your clothes."

Yan Sui was willing to ignore him, forced him to put on the fur coat, and said: "Is there anyone in your family alive now?"

Wang Ergou looked at this high-ranking official made of jade in amazement. He couldn't believe it. Could it be that the other party is really a clean official?

Under Wang Ergou's astonished eyes, Yan Suiyuan said, "You don't trust the person behind you, and you don't trust the official. It must be impossible to tell that person the whereabouts of your family. Now that you are in such a state, your family must You will definitely not be lucky. If you trust me, I will order the entire governor's mansion to apologize for the people of Jinzhou."

You'an silently stepped forward and added, "You should know that I am the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, right? It is the minister of the Ministry of Punishment who dares to offend Yan Zhizhi against the emperor, and dares to point the sword at the prime minister of San Gong. Yan Suiyuan, Yan Shangshu."

The Wang Ergou jumped up in surprise when he heard the words, pointed his bone-like finger at Yan Suiyuan, couldn't say a word, just opened his mouth.

How could he not know that a while ago, the minister copied half of the Qingjing official's house, and beheaded countless stupid officials at once.With tears in his eyes, he knelt down on the ground, "Living Bodhisattva! I have always heard that you are upright and upright. I don't want to see you today. You are really like a living Bodhisattva!"

Then he said: "Cao Min's family is in the Governor's Mansion!"

Yan Suiyuan personally helped him up and said, "Go to the Governor's Mansion."

Those who destroy the six countries are not the Qin Dynasty; those who belong to the Qin Dynasty are not the world.All things in the world, ask the sky how can it bear this.

Yan Suiyuan recited these two sentences silently in his heart, did the person behind the scenes actually want to subvert Daning?Or cherish the misery of the people?

He thought again, where is Cheng Zangzhi?Does this have anything to do with him?

Cheng Zangzhi said that there is no gold in Jinzhou, but how do these people enslave the people and enjoy themselves happily?

Gold, common people, hardships, unjust cases, these are intertwined in Yan Suiyuan's mind, but fortunately he has the law in his heart, so he will not be dizzy.

At this moment, Ji Ying said: "Master Yan, I'm so reckless in front of...Are you going to come to the door to ask questions?"

Yan Suiyuan's head is not tilted, his body is straight, his profile is like a pine standing in the snow, his bones are firm and clear.

He said: "Straight as a string, isn't it my style?"

The other deputy envoy shuddered, and couldn't help calculating in his heart, wondering whether the governor's mansion could still survive this time?Otherwise, from whom should the gold collected from Cheng Qian, the Jiedu envoy of Shannan Road, be retrieved from?If you can't find it, how can you go back and explain to Shangfeng?
