The people present could hardly believe their eyes. The Tang Xia family was so rampant that they not only dominated other people's property but also dared to look down on everything in the court. Seeing that Tang Xia and her son were about to leave, two yamen runners immediately stepped forward to stop him, but she pushed him away.

The mother was extremely tough and was not vague when she was a son. Tang Lei put his hands on his waist and pointed at the other yamen runners who were tempted to come forward: "Who dares to come forward? Be careful that I will deal with him."

"Stop them, stop them quickly." Seeing that the Tang family and his son tried to force their way out of the court, Yu Qianling quickly stood up from his seat, pointed at the two of them and shouted to the yamen runners: "Take them down!" However, what he saw was that several yamen runners who came forward to stop them from leaving were knocked to the ground by Tang Lei, and the rest did not dare to go forward again, but surrounded them with water and fire sticks.

Seeing that the yamen runners did not dare to come forward, Tang Lei snorted coldly, pointed his finger at Yu Qianling and said, "Dog official, let your people go away, otherwise I will be polite."

Yu Qianling was willing to give up in front of his people, so he could only roar: "What are you still standing there? Why don't you hurry up and take down this lawless madman."

The yamen runners were afraid of Tang Lei and did not dare to go forward. They just stood there holding a water and fire stick and shouted bluffingly, but no one came forward. Seeing this, Taishi Ci snorted coldly, then reached out to push away the people blocking him and walked forward with great strides.

He stopped at a place where he was two or three steps away from Tang Lei, pointed at him with his hand, and said, "The bold madman dares to make trouble in court. Why don't you surrender quickly?"

Tang Lei relied on his strength and swung his fist to hit Taishi Ci who suddenly appeared. Taishi Ci did not dodge or dodge the fist when it was almost in front of him, and raised his hand and grabbed the other party's fist. Tang Lei did not expect that the punch he had tried his best to be caught by the other party. He tried to retract his fist, but he seemed to be stuck in the iron clamp and could not get rid of it.

Seeing that his son was stopped by Taishi Ci, Tang Xia rushed up like crazy and grabbed and scratched Taishi Ci's body. Taishi Ci let go of Tang Lei's fist and swung a punch lightly. The punch seemed plain and without any fancy, but it hit Tang Lei cleanly on the face. After a muffled sound, Tang Lei covered his face, fell to the ground, screamed, and rolled back and forth on the ground.

Taishi Ci's punch shocked everyone. Anyone who knows Tang Lei knows that this person is Yu Qian Yiba. He knows a little bit of martial arts. No one can get close to him. Unexpectedly, he was knocked to the ground by this military master, and he didn't even have the power to fight back.

Seeing that Tang Lei was knocked to the ground, the yamen runners who were still bluffing immediately dispersed and held Tang Lei, who was rolling on the ground. As for Tang Xia, after knocking on two sticks, they could only kneel on the ground obediently and wait for further decline. The onlookers couldn't help but cheer for Taishi Ci when they saw this dramatic scene.

After Yu Qianling asked the yamen runners to take the Tang family and his son away, he got up and came to Taishi Ci, bowing to him: "I am Yu Qianling, I don't know what you call me?"

"I am Taishici, whose courtesy name is Ziyi." Because I do not understand what Yu Qianling's attitude he has towards recruiting troops, Taishici did not immediately express his intention, but just said vaguely: "I used to be a staff member of governor Liu."

Yu Qian County is still within the sphere of influence of Liu Yao. When Yu Qianling heard that the person was Liu Yao's aide, his attitude became more and more humble. After he asked the yamen runners to beat the people who were being tried, he said to Taishi Ci: "Brother Ziyi, this is not a place to speak, so let's go to the back hall to talk."

In this way, Taishici followed Yu Qianling to the back hall. After both sides sat down, Yu Qianling continued to ask: "Brother Ziyi, I wonder what you have come to Yu Qian to teach you?"

Seeing that there were only him and Yu Qianling, Taishici said straight to the point: "I am planning to recruit new recruits here, but I wonder if the envoy allows it?"

"Is it to deal with Yuan Shu?" Yu Qianling hated Yuan Shu deeply. He heard that Taishi Ci came here to recruit new recruits, but the first thing he thought of was not to deal with Yuan Shu.

"If we can recruit new recruits from our county," Taishici said cautiously: "It will be used to deal with Yuan Shu sooner or later."

Yu Qianling heard that Taishi Ci seemed to have something in his words, so he frowned and asked, "So, Brother Ziyi went to the county to recruit new recruits, not to deal with Yuan Shu?"

Taishi Ci saw that Yu Qianling had doubts about him and was worried that if he continued to hide it, the recruitment of recruits in the future would be hindered, so he decided to tell him the truth: "I will not hide it from the envoy, I am now serving under the command of the Jizhou Governor. This time I went to Yu Qian County to recruit recruits!"

"What, are you under the command of Jizhou Mu?" Yu Qianling's face showed a surprised expression: "Realistically speaking, if you want to recruit new recruits, you can recruit soldiers in Jizhou. Why do you have to travel thousands of miles to Yangzhou for recruitment?"

From Yu Qianling's tone of speaking, Taishici heard that the other party was not disgusted with Han Zhan, so he said with a smile: "My lord said that the Danyang soldiers are the most powerful soldiers in the world, so he ordered someone to come here to recruit soldiers from thousands of miles away. After the Jizhou Governor unified the four northern prefectures, he would sooner or later send troops from Yangzhou, and then he could use the troops from here to deal with Yuan Shu."

Unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Yu Qianling said nothing, neither agreeing nor opposing. Seeing this, Taishi Ci did not persuade him again, but took the initiative to change the topic: "Eunuch, I don't know what the case was just now, how do you plan to make a final judgment?"

Yu Qianling's face showed a surprised expression: "Didn't this official have announced that he ordered the Tang family and his son to return the property to the Lin family? Brother Ziyi was in the crowd just now, so he must have heard it clearly."

"The sentence was too light." Taishi Ci shook his head and said, "The Lin family has been kind to the Tang family's mother and son. If the Lin family had not helped the Lin family, the Tang family's mother and son would have been starved to death on the streets. But now, they are ungrateful. Seeing that the Lin family is in trouble, they not only did not help, but instead took the blame. For such a person who is inferior to beasts, the punishment for the king is too light."

Taishici's words aroused great interest from Yu Qianling. He asked curiously: "So according to Brother Ziyi's opinion, how should I judge the punishment?"

"In addition to returning the property they occupied the Lin family, they also had to deprive all their property. Except for part of the compensation to the Lin family, the rest were taken to the government." Taishi Ci said righteously: "Doing this is also a warning to those ungrateful people."

"What should the Tang family mother and son do?" Yu Qianling continued to ask.

"Leaving the Tang family's mother and son will inevitably continue to cause disaster to the countryside. Please recall the situation in the lobby just now. They don't take the government seriously at all. If the envoy let them go back, they will definitely continue to go to the Lin family to cause trouble, and they will even feel resentful to the envoy, and they may even attack you." Taishi Ci turned his fist into a palm and slashed down hard: "It's better to take this opportunity to eradicate the roots. Maybe the people in the county will be grateful to the envoy."

"It's reasonable, and Brother Ziyi's words are reasonable." Yu Qianling agreed with Taishi Ci's proposal. He nodded vigorously and said, "I will judge this case according to Brother Ziyi's words. In addition to asking the Lin family to take back the ancestral property, the confiscated Tang family property will be divided into one set to the Lin family for compensation. As for the Tang family's mother and son, they will be imprisoned in a prison and let them die for themselves."

After Yu Qianling finished speaking, he got up and walked to the door, and said to the yamen runner outside, "Call the chief clerk here."

The chief clerk was still in the lobby. When he heard the yamen runner say that the county magistrate wanted to see him, he rushed over immediately and stood outside the door and asked respectfully: "I wonder what the envoy has to give?"

After repeating the decision he had just made to the chief clerk, Yu Qianling said to him: "The chief clerk will immediately draft the list and post the verdict on the real estate dispute case between Lin and Tang families so that the people of the whole city will know."

After the chief clerk received the order and left, Yu Qianling returned to the house and sat down, looked at Taishi Ci and asked, "Brother Ziyi, I wonder where you have recruited new recruits this time when you went to Yangzhou?"

"Reply to the envoy," Taishi Ci saw that Yu Qianling had no clear attitude against recruiting new recruits here, so his favor for him rose sharply. After hearing this question, he immediately replied: "After coming to Yangzhou, he only went to Danyang and Liyang counties. Danyang Order was an old acquaintance, and asked him to recruit there for three days; but Liyang County did not even let his troops enter the city gate."

Yu Qianling picked up the tea bowl in front of him, took a sip of the tea, but did not put it down, but asked casually: "I wonder how many new recruits Brother Ziyi has recruited in Danyang County?" According to his idea, it is already very good to recruit five or six hundred people.

"There are more than 4,000 people." Taishici replied: "If it weren't for the fear of recruiting too many young and strong people, it would affect Danyang County's farming next year, maybe there would be more people."

When Yu Qianling heard the number of new recruits Taishici mentioned, he couldn't help but tremble and pushed out the tea bowl. He looked at Taishici and asked in surprise: "How many? More than 4,000 people?"

"That's right." Taishici did not mean Qian Ling asked again, so he took the initiative to say: "Since these 4,000 new recruits were taken everywhere and there were many inconveniences, he left them all in Danyang County, leaving behind some other troops to train them there. After we recruited new recruits elsewhere, we would take them with us when we returned."

Yu Qianling put the tea bowl on several cases and asked nervously: "I wonder how many new recruits Brother Ziyi plans to recruit in Yu Qian County, the official?"

"One or two hundred is not too little, one or two thousand is not too much!" Taishi Ci bowed to Yu Qianling and said, "I hope that the envoy can help you at that time."

"It's easy to say," Yu Qianling said with a dry smile: "If too many young and strong people recruited, will it affect the spring plowing of our county in the coming year?"

"I have a word, I don't know if I should ask or not."

Yu Qian ordered Taishi Ci to ask for help: "Brother Ziyi has something to say, but it's okay to say it."

"From the current situation in Yangzhou, governor Liu cannot stop Yuan Shu, and this place will sooner or later become Yuan Shu's territory." Since Taishi Ci entered Yangzhou, he has been panicking because Liu Yao and Yuan Shu have fought for territory, so he plans to take advantage of this opportunity and dig some talents to Jizhou. Last night, he heard the inn owner saying that Yu Qianling was a clean official. When he saw him interrogating the case today, he was also well organized, so he planned to persuade him to go to Jizhou. Therefore, he asked: "I wonder if the envoy intends to surrender to Yuan Shu or abandon his official position?"

When Yu Qianling heard Taishi Ci say this, he did not immediately reply, but asked back: "Brother Ziyi, what would you do if you were in the position of this official?"

"Of course I'm going to Jizhou." Taishici replied without hesitation: "Now that the emperor has established his capital Yecheng, and he is an official in Jizhou, he will always be better than Yangzhou. Besides, he was an aide to governor Liu before, so he has surrendered to the governor of Jizhou now."

Taishici's words made Yu Qianling feel a little excited. He asked tentatively: "Brother Ziyi, if I go to Jizhou with you, I wonder if the Jizhou governor is willing to take it in?"

"If you are willing to go to Jizhou, my lord will definitely accept you." Taishici said thoughtfully: "But it may not be easy to be an official in Jizhou."

Yu Qianling Gang was less than a moment happy. When he heard the words that he could not be an official in Jizhou, his face suddenly became dark. He thought to himself, no matter whether I will continue to be loyal to Liu Yao or surrender to Yuan Shu in the future, at least it is okay to be an official in the Yangzhou territory. But now you actually told me that when you are not an official in Jizhou, what is the point of going to Jizhou?

When Taishi Ci saw that Yu Qianling's face was gloomy and knew that the other party had misunderstood his meaning, he quickly explained: "Yu Qianling misunderstood. It's not that you have gone to Jizhou and can no longer be an official, but that you may not be an official in Jizhou."

Yu Qianling asked in confusion: "If you don't become an official in Jizhou, where else can you go to become an official?"

"I don't know that my lord has sent troops to Qingzhou, and half of Qingzhou is now under the control of our army." Taishi Ci said to Qianling: "Once Qingzhou is pacified, a large number of officials will definitely be needed. If the lord is willing to go to Jizhou with someone, he will be able to serve in Qingzhou in the future. Not to mention a small county magistrate, even if he is the prefect, it is not impossible."

Taishici's words completely touched Yu Qianling. He thought to himself: He is just a small county magistrate here, and how long he can be a member of the country is still an unknown. If it is really as Taishici said, the Jizhou Governor arranged for him to be an official in Qingzhou and had good luck, he might be able to become the prefect. Thinking of this, he nodded vigorously and said to Taishici: "Brother Ziyi, I will ask you for your future."
