Zhen Jian was secretly shocked when he heard this, listening to his words, it seemed that the background was very hard, and killing people could be settled, this is amazing, although Zhen Jian was curious, it was inconvenient to ask more, smiled, and said: "I can't see it, the shopkeeper Hou is actually hidden." ” Hou Chongwen thought that Zhen Jian was saying that he was good at martial arts, so he smiled lightly and said, "The skill of the micro end, I laughed." ” After he finished speaking, he let go of his foot, pulled Zhen Laosi up from the ground, escorted him to Zhen Jian, and ripped off the mask on his face, and sure enough, Zhen Laosi's unlucky appearance appeared in front of Zhen Jian's eyes.
"Xiao Jian......"
Zhen Laosi looked at Zhen Jian and Hou Chongwen with a smile.
Zhen Jian patted Zhen Laosi on the shoulder and said, "Fourth uncle, go to the prison to reflect on yourself, and be a good person after you come out." ” "Xiao Jian, I don't want to go to jail, you spare me this time, I know it's wrong, I won't dare to do it in the future!"
As he spoke, he was about to kneel, tears flowed out, but fortunately, Hou Chongwen held his collar and didn't let him kneel.
Zhen Jian shook his hand and slapped him in the face with a big-eared scraper, his face changed instantly, and he glared and shouted: "Do you think I am your mother!"
Spoiling you without asking why?
Do you think I'm out of temper?
Do you remember what you said before, you want to kill me?
You want to kill me and let me spare you?
If it weren't for the sake of your relatives, you would have moved by now!
I've done my duty, don't take an inch!
” It was the first time for Zhen Laosi to see Zhen Jian with such a fierce appearance, and he was so frightened that he didn't dare to squeak.
Hou Chongwen turned his head to look at Zhang Hu who was paralyzed on the ground, and said, "There is still a living one over there, take the two of them back together and hand them over to the government." ” Zhen Jian nodded, took off his clothes, asked Hou Chongwen for a dagger, cut his clothes into strips of cloth, tied Zhen Laosi and Zhang Hu with strips of cloth, threw them on the horse's back, and then the three of them led the horse back.
After walking for about two hours, when he arrived at the gate of the West City, Hou Chongwen shouted towards the city: "Lu Shouke?
” Lu Shou's head poked out of the city gate and responded: "I'm here!"
Is it Mr.
Hou?
” "Exactly down there."
Hou Chongwen replied loudly.
Lu Shou said: "Lord Yin Shen is here.
As soon as the words fell, a middle-aged man in his forties wearing an official uniform appeared at the head of the city.
Hou Chongwen and Zhen Jian hurriedly saluted: "Meet Lord Shen." ” "You're welcome."
Lord Shen waved his hand with a smile and said, "Let's talk about it first, open the city gate!"
” With an order, the city gate opened, Hou Chongwen and they led their horses into the city, and Shen Fuyin personally walked down the city tower to see Hou Chongwen.
The two sides met and exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Hou Chongwen pointed to the two horses behind him and said, "My lord, these two people on horseback are the thugs who kidnapped my daughter, and two more people have been killed by Hou, and the bodies are outside the mountain temple on the Black Pine Slope ten miles outside the city." ” "Is that the two?"
Lord Shen stepped forward to look at Zhen Laosi and Zhang Hu, then beckoned to the rear, and said in a loud voice, "Come on, put these two thieves in prison, Lord Ben will personally interrogate them tomorrow, and, Lu Shou, you take a group of people to Heisongpo and bring the corpse back, which is a great achievement for you!"
” "Yes!"
Lu Shou was extremely happy when he heard this, and immediately took seven or eight people out of the city.
Then a few guards came over, unloaded Zhen Laosi and Zhang Hu from their horses, and then escorted them away.
Zhen Jian was taken aback for a while, this Lord Shen is the Yin of Shaoxing Mansion who is the official residence of the fourth grade, and he is so polite to Hou Chongwen, even Hou Chongwen said that he killed two people, he didn't ask, and ignored it directly, Zhen Jian began to guess that this Hou Chongwen is by no means so simple as being hard in the background, it is simply backed by a mountain, it is estimated that he is the heir of the powerful people in the DPRK.
Zhen Jian's reasoning ability is still okay, and he has basically guessed it, but he will not guess that Hou Chongwen will be the son of the Duke of Qingguo, although the two princes rarely ask about the government, but in Dachu, no one dares to offend them, and the four words of rest with the country are not a joke.
Shaoxing Mansion Yin's surname is Shen Minggongwang, forty-three this year, to be able to sit in this position, there must be some means, at least in the officialdom, he is very tactful, since he knows that Hou Chongwen is the son of Qingguo Gong, even if he doesn't stammer, he must do enough etiquette, and strive not to let the people in Qingguo Mansion catch the handle, otherwise this will be very unfavorable for his future promotion.
Although Hou Chongwen is the son of Qingguo Gong, he does not have any official position, and he doesn't like these clichés in the officialdom, so after chatting with Shen Gongwang for a few words, he took Zhen Jian and Hou Qinglan back.
When Zhen Jian returned home, he found that the door of Zhen's house was open, Zhen Dali, Zeng Ling, Fan Xian, Wu De and others were all anxiously wandering around the front yard. ” Zhen Dali and they immediately found Zhen Jian, and they all greeted him excitedly, Zhen Dali grabbed Zhen Jian's shoulders and said excitedly: "Xiao Jian, you are back, where have you been, but my father is so worried, Zeng Liang said that after you received a letter, you hurriedly rode out......
"It's okay, Dad, I'm just going to ......
I went to the Qinglou to promote perfume, and I drank it to my heart's content, and then I forgot the time, hehe.
"Zhen Jian is not easy to say about the kidnapping, for fear of scaring his father, besides, the kidnapper is Zhen Laosi, and he doesn't know how to tell Zhen Dali, after all, they are brothers.
Zhen Dali didn't believe Zhen Jian's words, he knew about his son going to the Qinglou to promote perfume, but today he held a banquet to celebrate Zeng Liangzhongju, such an important thing, how could Zhen Jian go to the Qinglou to promote perfume, but since Zhen Jian said so, Zhen Dali is not easy to ask, anyway, as long as his son comes back, he can only persuade: "In the future, you are not allowed to go out without saying a word, and you are not allowed to come back so late when you go out, Dad is really worried about death, if you have three long and two short, how can you let Dad live." ” "I know, Dad, Dad, go and rest, in another hour the sky will be bright, tomorrow you won't be busy with the restaurant, and have a good rest at home for a day."
Zhen Jian said and pushed Zhen Dali to the middle courtyard.
The son came back, and Zhen Dali's heart was also steady, so he went back to his room to sleep.
Zhen Jian turned around and let the others go to sleep again, only Zeng Liang didn't leave, and after the others left, Zeng Liang asked solemnly, "Miss Hou is okay?"
” "She's fine."
Zhen Jian smiled and said, "Thank you for not telling my father about the kidnapping." ” Zeng Liang smiled slightly and said, "I can carry it clearly, if he knows that you are going to find the robbers, he is afraid that he will make a fuss." ” Zhen Jian nodded with a smile, and suddenly thought of today's banquet, so he asked, "How is today's banquet?"
” "It's good, everybody is having fun."

Zeng Liang replied with a smile, and suddenly sighed slowly, "Sometimes, the world is really unpredictable, when I broke my leg in Xiangyang, I was actually extremely desperate in my heart, and when I crossed the river to the south, I also thought about throwing myself into the river, but in the end I still held back, I didn't think that it had only been two years, and I actually won the lift." ” Zhen Jian smiled: "Yes, life is really unpredictable, you should thank Ying Zheng, the reason why you didn't kill yourself is because of Ying Zheng, right?"
” "Yes!"
Zeng Liang nodded vigorously, looked at the bright moon in the sky, and said slowly, "If I die, what will Ying Zheng do, so I told myself at the time, no matter how difficult it is, I can live well and pull her up, but I didn't expect that in just two years, I not only got my leg better, but also got admitted to the lifting of people, all of which you gave me."
When he said this, he respectfully bowed to Zhen Jian and made a big salute.
"Don't you dare!"
Zhen Jian hurriedly dodged away and said with a smile, "Cure your leg, I can accept this credit, but if you are admitted to the promotion, I will at most subsidize you, the main thing is that you have talent to learn, this is your own strength, people go to high places, water flows to low places, in the future, you will be admitted to the Jinshi, be an official, be a big official, when the time comes, I will salute and call an adult when I see you, haha." ” "It's a joke."
Zeng Liang waved his hand and smiled, "Actually, I don't dare to expect to be a big official, just to get a small sesame official, which can benefit the people, it is enough." ” Zhen Jian's face suddenly turned solemn when he heard this, and he said slowly: "Mr.
Zeng, how many literati have the same idea as you before becoming officials, but after entering the officialdom, they either can't help themselves, or they are insatiable, and they all abandon the original pure heart and become the corrupt officials they hated the most. ” "Definitely!"
Zeng Ling also nodded solemnly, and then laughed at himself, "Before you get into the jinshi, you think about such a distant thing, Zeng is really ridiculous." ” "If people have no foresight, they must have near-term worries."
Zhen Jiandao, "Isn't it okay to be an official, as long as the court is vacant, it will naturally be your turn." ” "Then I don't know if it will be until the Year of the Monkey."
Zeng Ling smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, the perfume you originally planned to give to those rich merchants, I gave them all for you today, a total of sixty bottles, and there is not a single bottle left." ” "Well done."
Zhen Jian praised with a smile, walked with him to the middle courtyard, and asked as he went, "When do you plan to enter Beijing?"
” Zeng Liang said: "The examination will wait until February next year, but many candidates are going to the capital in advance to grab the post house and inn, most of the candidates are there for the New Year, if you go late, I am afraid that even the accommodation will be a problem, I plan to leave the day after tomorrow." ” Zhen Jian nodded and said: "Okay, it's good to go and settle down in the residence as soon as possible, besides, the test is approaching, the style of writing in the capital must be flourishing, and it is also suitable for you to read books, if you are free for the New Year, you will come back, otherwise Ying Zheng will miss you at home." ” "That's for sure."
Zeng Ling nodded.
"Alright, go back and rest, I should go to sleep too, but I'm sleeping." ………………………………………………………………………………………… The next morning, there was a rhythmic sound of whipping and screams in the Shaoxing prison, and in the torture room, Zhang Hu and Zhen Laosi were tied to a wooden frame and beaten by the prison officials with whips.
Although they have confessed the facts of their crimes, they have not yet been interrogated, and they have committed a lot of crimes, and whipping is also one of the punishments for them.
Zhang Hu was beaten more than a dozen times, he couldn't stand it anymore, and suddenly shouted: "I want to see you adults, I have something to say!"
” "See us, my lord?"
The jailer stopped the whip and sneered, "Who do you think you are?"
Say you can meet us adults?
With that, he was ready to continue the whipping.
"I'm going to report a murderer!"
Zhang Hu shouted anxiously, "This can make you adults solve the case and make meritorious contributions!"
” "Huh?"
The two executioners were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then asked, "What murderer?"
” Zhang Hu said: "I will only say it when I see an adult!"
” The two hesitated for a moment, and immediately someone said, "You are guarding here, and I will report to the lord."
With that, he hurried away.
Zhen Laosi was very happy when he saw that the whipping had finally stopped, turned his head to look at Zhang Hu, and said: "Huzi, there is really yours, it turns out that you still have this hand, now it's okay, if we can make meritorious contributions, we may be able to reduce the sentence for a few years." ” Zhang Hu didn't seem to want to speak in pain, so he didn't pay attention to him, and Zhen Laosi didn't care.
After a long time, Shen Gongwang came to the torture room, smelled the stench in the torture room, Shen Gongwang waved his hand and fanned his nose, and then asked slowly: "Who wants to report the murderer to this official?"
” "Me!
My lord!
It's me!
Zhang Hu immediately shouted excitedly.
A jailer had already taken a bench and placed it behind Shen Gongwang, Shen Gongwang sat down, crossed Erlang's legs, and said, "Say, what a murderer." ” Zhang Hu's eyes rolled and said, "The adult has to promise the villain first, and the villain can be exempted from the responsibility this time, and this whip should be regarded as the villain's punishment." ” "You dare to threaten this officer?"
Shen Gongwang frowned.
Zhang Hu saw that the situation was wrong, and hurriedly said: "The villain doesn't dare, the villain is just a small person, adult, you are a big person, this is a good clue that can help adults solve the case, and can make adults make meritorious contributions, adults will look at this part and treat villains lightly." ” "That's pretty much it."
Shen Gongwang glanced at him and said, "If the clues you give you can catch someone, this official promises you that he will only sentence you to three years in prison." ” "Adults, and villains!"
Zhen Laosi suddenly screamed anxiously.
"My lord, leave him alone!"
Zhang Hu suddenly shouted, "That murderer, that's him, he killed Li Ergou in Qingshui Town!"
”
