Chapter 20: Helping the Officials
Just imagine, the fist that was attacked with all its strength suddenly turned into defense, how could the movement not be deformed? It was quite good to say that it was deformation, but in fact, Tai Sui's body had been distorted at this time, and even a breath of true energy in his body showed signs of reversal o
There was no upper hand at the beginning. When this situation happened again and revealed such a big flaw, how could it end up with a good end?
Although Yaoguang could not capture it for a long time, she had the upper hand after all. When the two fought, the energy was pulling, and the attack and defense were originally mutual. At this time, the other party suddenly showed such a big flaw. She didn't even think about it. She didn't have time to wave the hammer, and raised her leg and kicked it straight into Tai Sui's chest.
"Puff" Tai Sui vomited blood and was kicked backwards. She couldn't even stabilize her body for a while. Her body rolled on the ground like a ball, and finally hit the wall with a bang.
Yaoguang laughed: "Haha, little thief, with this little skill, how dare you go against this girl?"
She smiled and stepped forward, preparing to subdue Tai Sui's uniform.
At this moment, Tai Sui suddenly raised his hand and threw a fist-sized ball towards Yaoguang. At the same time, he jumped up and climbed onto the high wall behind him, like a huge gecko, climbing up along the wall in three or two.
Before he could climb to the wall, the black ball he threw exploded with a bang, and a rich black smoke quickly spread around, blocking the sight of Yaoguang and Liu Suifeng.
Liu Suifeng was shocked. Unexpectedly, something happened when he was sure to win. He was worried that something might happen to Yaoguang, so he rushed forward and shouted in his mouth: "Yaoguang! Yaoguang!"
"I'm fine, ahem, what is this little thief using? How come it smells so smelly!" Fortunately, Yaoguang responded immediately o
Soon, Yaoguang walked out of the smoke in a dusty face, looked around and found that Tai Sui was missing. She couldn't help but feel very hatred, and stomped her feet heavily, and said angrily: "This cunning little thief has escaped by him again."
Seeing that she had nothing to do, Liu Suifeng breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Yao Guang's face was covered with black and gray, it was very funny, and he almost laughed out loud for a moment. Fortunately, he knew that if he was a joke about Yao Guang at this time, the girl would have to get angry, so he forced herself to hold it up, stepped forward and patted Yao Guang's shoulder, comforted him, "Forget it, just treat it as a lesson. Next time when he sees such a cunning boy, don't talk if he can do it, he can't escape."
Although Yaoguang was arrogant, he was sensible. He knew that he had been screwed up this time. He looked a little depressed and lowered his head and said, "I understand o."
After looking around the street a few times, Yaoguang gritted his teeth and glared at him again, saying hatefully: "This little thief is really abominable Da Liu. What should we do next? Where can we catch him?"
Liu Suifeng looked at the crowd on the street, thought for a while and said, "We are looking for a needle in a haystack. Let's go and find the government to help."
"Look for help from the government? Is this suitable?" Yaoguang asked hesitantly
In Yaoguang's understanding, the Beidou Department is a secret institution of the court, directly under the emperor, and is two lines with the government. Although as long as you go out to handle the case, it means exercising power on behalf of heaven and has a faint identity as an imperial envoy, under normal circumstances, in order to avoid taboos, the Beidou Department rarely interacts with local governments.
Liu Suifeng naturally knew Yao Guang’s concerns, and nodded slightly and said, “There is nothing wrong with it. This is another lesson to teach you. Our Beidou Department values the result when handling cases. Although we should pay attention to taboos, we cannot become rigid because of choking. As long as we don’t interfere with the power of the local government, it is not out of line when handling cases."
Seeing Yaoguang still confused, Liu Suifeng thought about it and said it was better: "This case, well, let's say that, this case is different from the cases we encountered in the past. It involves killing officials in the street. There is no need to say that the emperor was angry. For officials, especially civil officials, this is even more provocative. They may be even more angry than us. At this time, they will not only not have any objections, but will even take the initiative to cooperate!"
Liu Suifeng's words are too much information. Yaoguang is young after all, and he is a general. She is vaguely aware of the strength of the Tudu Group in the dynasty. Although she can only understand it, she also knows that this kind of thing cannot be integrated with her own identity, so it is not advisable to talk too much. She didn't ask more questions at the moment, nodded and followed Liu Suifeng to the county government.
The so-called officials do not repair the yamen, and the guests do not repair the shop. The same is true for the county yamen in Tai'an Prefecture. From the outside, the entire yamen is gray. Although it is not dilapidated, the red paint on the door is cracked and the wooden pillars are peeled off. From a distance, it does not look like the yamen, but it is a poorly managed shop.
Although the image of this yamen is really shabby, it is the government after all, and there should be a lot of things. There are two stone lions in front of the door, a row of horse stakes stand on the left, and a tall drum on the right. It is on the stairs of the yamen runners standing on the side of the door with knives, which makes them look a bit majestic and dignified.
Liu Suifeng and Yaoguang came side by side, stopped at the steps, and immediately attracted attention. The middle-aged yamen runner with a thin face and a short beard on the right side immediately looked over o
"Who is coming?" The yamen runner shouted, his face full of solemnity.
If it were usual, even if someone came to the yamen, the yamen runners would not have had this attitude. But now it is different. A major case of killing officials in the street has just happened in the county. Although it has nothing to do with ordinary yamen runners, since then, the magistrate has become a different person, and has been anxious all day long, and has repeatedly ordered the arrest of the criminals. Even the rest of the month has been cancelled.
After such trouble, although the case was still not solved, it caused the public in the county government to be very troubled. From the county magistrate to the constable, everyone was in peace. Almost everyone was in a hurry.
As soon as this person becomes angry, his attitude towards people and things will naturally change.
Liu Suifeng was slightly stunned for a moment, but he soon understood that he was afraid that these men had not had a good time in recent times, so he was not angry after a slight blow.
He smiled on his face, walked up and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, he showed a sign and then came to the yamen runner's ear and whispered in a few words.
The corvee service took the token and didn't think so, but when he heard Liu Suifeng's whisper, his face changed immediately. Even his originally straight waist bent down. He respectfully handed back the sign and smiled flatteringly: "Sir, um, two sirs, please wait, Rong Xiao will report to the magistrate o."
Liu Suifeng smiled and clasped his fists: "I'm working hard."
The yamen runner didn't say much, bowed and turned around and trotted into the door.
After a while, the yamen runner turned out, followed by a middle-aged literati wearing a long gown. The literati was dressed simply, wearing ordinary cloth shoes under his feet, and the belt was just an ordinary belt and not tied. His face was shrewd, and a long beard under his jaw moved with the wind. It was quite gentle. However, seeing his behavior was cautious, as if he was afraid of making mistakes at all times, Liu Suifeng felt at a loss in his heart. Just look at this person's behavior, he definitely did not look like an official, at least he would not be a parent in a county - he didn't have that confidence o
Liu Suifeng has been handling cases all year round, and he has such rich experience. When he saw that the other party looked like a temperament, he immediately guessed that this person was either an aide or a clerk. Although he had no official status, he was a close confidant of the official.
This trip is here to ask for help in the case, and it will benefit both parties. Liu Suifeng is not arrogant, and nods at the other party with a smile o
The middle-aged literati had a humble smile on his face. After approaching, he bowed to Liu Suifeng as a polite person and said politely: "I have seen this adult in Xue Yiping, but I don't know what the adult is calling him?"
Xue Yiping? When he heard this name, Liu Suifeng knew it. If nothing unexpected happened, it should be the relative of the county magistrate Xue Liang.
Although he was not very lawful in accordance with the rules, it was normal at this time. Liu Suifeng nodded indifferently and smiled: "I am not talented, Liu Suifeng, dare you ask Mr. Xue, can the magistrate be in the mansion?"
"Oh, Lord Liu, you are too polite. The villain dare not be called a gentleman o." Xue Yifan was flattered and waved his hand quickly, and his smile became flattering: "The magistrate is dealing with a document. Please wait in the flower hall first, and the sir will arrive soon."
After saying that, Xue Yifan's body was slightly tilted, and he asked for a palm
"Disturbation o" Liu Suifeng bowed, smiled and nodded to Yaoguang beside him, and the two followed Xue Yifan and walked into o
