major general

In order to show his face in front of the common people in the city, Zhang Lie walked all the way back from the city gate.It's not enough to just talk, when you meet someone you know well, you have to choose a deal in front of the stall, and when you walk to the county government, Cong Taoguang and Wuyu's hands are full.

Wuyu also carried a basket of eggs in his hand, put objects heavier than himself on the table one by one, and ran to the back kitchen with the eggs.

Cong Taoguang saw Zhang Lie walking unsteadily, and as expected, Zhang Lie suddenly fell to the side in the next second.

The smell of blood in the house could not be concealed.

Zhang Lie supported the table and took off his crimson official uniform. The wet marks on the hem were not water stains, but cracked blood.

Zhang Lie was in so much pain that he couldn't see the way clearly, he took a sip of tea before he recovered.

The back hurt like a tear, but fortunately there was no redness and swelling, it was just bursting and bleeding, which looked scary.

After taking the medicine, Cong Taoguang took a dagger and put it under Zhang Lie's pillow, and said, "My lord, you can sleep peacefully tonight."

Zhang Lie didn't have the energy to pull himself together, his hands and feet were as cold as ice, he fell on the bed and passed out after a while.

There was no one in the middle of the night, and it was clearly a sunny day, but there was no moonlight at all.

The dark clouds covered the sky tightly, and occasionally revealed a little bit of starlight, which was also blurry.

Licheng in winter is very quiet without the barking of dogs and cicadas.In the middle of the third watch, there was a sound of beating watch outside.

"It's dry, be careful with candles."

Cong Taoguang squinted his eyes and dozed off. Hearing this distant voice, he opened his eyes.

Five or six people gathered in the gate of the courtyard, their steps were heavy, and there was no concealed murderous intent.The black cloud gradually dissipated, revealing a little bit of moonlight and the reflection on the tip of the knife, so Cong Taoguang pushed the door straight out, raised a long sword and stabbed at the person who came.

Cong Taoguang is a part of Wenle, and he used to be a dead soldier raised by Wenle's father, so his ability should not be underestimated.With one-on-six, the opponent was defeated.

"Do your best and be a good parent officer, why is Mr. Tang so eager to kill them all?"

Hearing Cong Taoguang's question, the leader wore a black mask and said with a sinister smile: "A pool of sewage, Mr. Zhang insists on getting out of the mud and keeping it clean, isn't it a joke?"

Cong Taoguang fought with him, but found that the other party didn't seem to be doing his best, but was fighting with the remaining five people one by one.Cong Taoguang paused, kicked the leading man away, his face turned pale, and he shouted, "My lord!"

The person who was kicked away got up and said, "Tiaohulishan, in this half a quarter, your lord has probably been chopped into eight pieces."

There was a deathly silence in the room, there was no sound at all.

After a while, it became brighter inside, and the light from the candles immediately illuminated the courtyard outside.

The door was pushed open, and what came out was not a man in black, but a strong man in bunts.

The strong man wiped the blood from the dagger casually on his body, and stood sideways, revealing Zhang Lie behind him who still had a bad complexion but bright eyes.

Enduring the pain in his back, Zhang Lie stood up straight, and said: "Master Jijiu is really exhaustive. On the first day I returned to the county government, Master Tang couldn't help but want to come to give a 'big gift'."

No matter how stupid a person is, he knows that the situation is not right now.

The leading man in black winked at the person next to him, and just as he was about to get away, Cong Taoguang punched him hard in the jaw.

The hammer made people's eyes stare, and they lay on the ground for a long time and couldn't stand up.

Cong Taoguang directly removed the man's chin, pulled the mask, and said, "My lord, it really is Catcher Liu."

The county government in Licheng is rotten from the root.

Tang Hao wanted to get rid of him, so naturally he wouldn't ask someone he didn't trust to come.This Liu Butou had made up his mind from the very beginning to hug Tang Hao's thigh tightly, and he often tripped Zhang Lie.

Zhang Lie watched Liu catcher's chin removed, with a look of slobber and resentment, he smiled suddenly and said, "I want to be the lotus that grows out of mud and doesn't get stained. How do you treat it?" ?”

There was constant noise in Zhizhou Mansion.

Meiji was too frightened by Tang Hao's voice to move, and shrank to the foot of the bed.She was covered with wounds all over her body, Kou Dan, who had been admired by Tang Hao, was gnawed in half, causing her to tremble in pain.

An angry Tang Hao smashed the jade pillow on the ground, and the thing worth thousands of taels was immediately shattered into pieces.

The staff also had goosebumps all over their bodies, and knelt on the ground bravely, saying, "My lord, calm down."

There was a reason for Tang Hao to be so angry. This morning a beggar threw a bag outside Zhizhou Mansion and ran away immediately.The guard opened it and was so frightened that he immediately reported it to Tang Hao.

The baggage is extremely light, and when you open it, it is a small box.The box is very fine, inlaid with beautiful horizontal stripes, and smells like wood.

The faint smell of blood.

Inside the box were thirty teeth, one of which was gold.

Liu Butou was treacherous and cunning, and once coaxed Tang Hao to be happy and rewarded him with a gold ingot.In order to please Tang Hao and show off to himself, Liu Butou broke a tooth and embedded the gold in it.

Everyone in Licheng didn't know who didn't know, but the cannibal Liu Butou had a shiny gold tooth.

Tang Hao was so angry that he lifted the table and scattered all the delicacies on the floor, and asked, "Where is that damned bastard now?"

"Responding to my lord, County Magistrate Zhang went to the county office early in the morning, and heard that someone was beating drums to appeal for grievances. He is upholding justice."

Tang Hao's eyes were not friendly, and he asked, "Justice?"

The guards didn't dare to talk, and knelt down to listen to Tang Hao's instructions.

Tang Hao ignored Mei Ji, who was half naked inside, directly opened the bed curtain, called the maid to put on the official uniform, and said, "I want to see how he upholds justice today."

There were two men and a woman kneeling in the hall. The woman was wearing white clothes, and she was kneeling very straight.Her hair was neatly combed, and she wore a freshly picked hibiscus flower on her head.

The man in the brown clothes knelt down and said to Zhang Lie: "Master County Magistrate, the Caomin sued the bitch and her concubine with vicious intentions, and poisoned Caomin's mother to death."

Another man turned pale when he heard the words, pointed at the man in brown and cursed: "You spout blood!"

The woman seemed to have heard nothing, still kneeling, and occasionally helped the hair falling from her ear.

Zhang Lie picked up the paper and looked at it. The woman's name was Yuniang, and she was a childhood sweetheart with the brown-clothed man Wang Li. They had never had children since they got married.Wang Li's mother mentioned that she wanted to take care of her son, but she was poisoned to death at home a few days later. Wang Li believed that his wife was vicious and jealous, and poisoned her mother-in-law to death.

The so-called concubine was a peddler who was familiar to all the young and old on the street. According to Wang Li's statement, he often saw the peddler "hooking up" with his first wife.

Zhang Lie put down the pleading paper and asked, "Mr. Wang, do you have any excuses?"

Yu Niang thought that the decree of beheading would hit her on the head, but who knew that she would get such a fluffy sentence.

Gathering up the courage to look up, the people sitting in the hall were dressed in official uniforms, their faces were a little pale, but they still couldn't hide their clean and handsome faces.The embossment on the back is carved with blue sky and white clouds, which is really like the master Qingtian mentioned in the story book, upright and upright.

Zhang Lie saw that Yuniang didn't speak, just stared at himself, and winked at the teacher next to him.

The master coughed lightly, his county magistrate was indeed good-looking, but in front of the hall, she was fascinated, this Yu Niang was still No. 1.

"Wang Shi, don't answer yet!"

Hearing the master's words, Yuniang came back to her senses, kowtowed her head, and said: "Minnv and Wang Linai are relatives. They have been married for eight years and have served their parents-in-law seriously. This is one of them; mother-in-law It is true that I mentioned taking concubines for my husband. Although the women are illiterate, they also know that there are seven ways to be jealous, and they have already accepted their fate when they are unhappy. This is the second; In order to ask him to walk around the streets all the year round, has he heard that the Li family in the south of the city has any recuperation methods, and there is no other way of breaking the rules, this is the third."

Hearing this, Wang Li glared at the salesman next to him, and looked at Yuniang hesitantly.

The salesman hastily kowtowed, and said: "Master Qingtian, Caomin is really innocent. Mrs. Wang always takes care of Caomin's business, so Caomin asked her a lot about the method of recuperation. There is no such dirty thing as Wang Li said."

Zhang Lie read the pleadings again and asked, "Wang Li, what you say is groundless."

Wang Li opened his mouth, but couldn't say anything.

"Master Zhang is busy here."

Zhang Lie didn't change his face, he stood up in his official uniform and saluted Tang Hao.

Tang Hao is the prefect, much older than Zhang Lie's officials.In terms of emotion and reason, he shouldn't be standing.

In the county government office, people knelt on the ground sparsely.Tang Hao walked around several times, watched Zhang Lie hunched over, frowning due to the pain, and then sat down with a smile.Taking a look at the paper on the table, Tang Hao said: "I have been married for many years and have never had a child, and I have no children; I don't like my husband taking concubines, he is jealous; he has an affair with a salesman, so he is unclean. Why do these women kneel in front of the hall?" Ah—I will drag you out and punish me with a cane for forty years!"

The command arrow with the red mark was thrown down the hall, Yu Niang's face was pale, she looked at the arrow feather, and gritted her teeth.

There was silence in the hall, the executioner looked at me and I looked at you, but no one moved for a while.

Tang Hao frowned, and scolded: "No one in the Licheng county government can do anything? Why don't you go to the magistrate's office and borrow one and a half to execute your sentence?"

The policemen glanced at Zhang Lie, and then detained Yuniang in the hall.

Zhang Lie pursed his lips and said, "Wait."

Tang Hao squinted at him, and asked: "May I ask Mr. Zhang, do you memorize the criminal law of the Southern Dynasty? The front of the hall thinks that rank is the most important thing, and this official is the fourth-rank magistrate. You, Licheng County, this official can't be the master? "

The wound on his back hadn't healed yet, cold sweat ran down his back, touching the wound, the pain was so painful that Zhang Lie couldn't even stand upright.

He supported the table, stood up straight, and said, "Master Tang, the criminal law of the Southern Dynasty must be memorized by me."

"Since I know it by heart, there is no reason to stop me. Someone, call me!"

Yu Niang was dragged out.

Zhang Lie's eyes turned cold, and he said, "Master Tang!"

"Master Tang, what a powerful official."

The people who were poking their heads at the door heard the words and looked at the person coming.

The man was dressed in thick ferret fur, which did not reach the crown, and his hair was fixed with a silver hairpin.

It was freezing cold in Licheng, and he had been tossing around from the Jade Academy all morning, his hair was a little messy, but it couldn't hide his jade-like face.

The golden hand stove in his hand is inlaid with jade, and the soles of deer velvet boots are carved with dark patterns. When he stepped on the thick snow, people couldn't help but sigh, fearing that his boots would be dirty.

The face is like a crown of jade, and the wealth can rival the country.

Besides that hateful Fu Jijiu, who else could it be?
