Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 94

"Master Huan, you are here, please come in quickly!"

Huan Chang led a few patrolling soldiers into the teahouse, and Xiao Er immediately greeted him with a smile on his face.

"According to the old rules, each person has a bowl of hot tea."

"okay!"

After Xiao Er settled Huan Chang and others, he hurriedly brought a teapot and poured tea for everyone.

"Tea is not as good as wine!"

A yamen servant wiped his mouth and said with nostalgia.

Huan Chang chuckled a few times, and said: "It's business time now, you can't drink in the wine shop, I can only bring you here for some hot tea."

"Brothers, if you want to drink, I will treat you guys to drink until you finish your errand at night!"

The guards were overjoyed when they heard the words, and said one after another: "Your Excellency, you must keep your word!"

"One promise, one gold!"

For half a month, Huan Chang took some guards to patrol the city every day.

Huan Chang was gentle and capable, and he was very forthright, and soon won his subordinates' admiration.

During this period, Huan Chang dealt with all kinds of people every day, dealt with all kinds of trivial matters, and experienced many things.

Although it was only half a month, Huan Chang felt that he had matured a lot.

"Thief, thief, someone is stealing!"

Huan Chang had just finished a sip of tea when he heard someone shouting outside, and his expression changed slightly.

"Go out and catch the thief!"

Huan Chang gave an order, and a dozen soldiers under his command rushed out with their sabers at an astonishing speed.

On the street, a woman was running panting.

While running, she shouted hoarsely, hoping that someone could stop the thief running ahead.

When the thief was found stealing, he also felt very flustered and spread his feet to get rid of the woman.

"Where is the thief going!"

Just as the thief turned a corner, two guards with sabers blocked his way.

"Sir, spare your life, your lord, spare your life!"

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the thief could only secretly scream unlucky, and did not dare to continue to resist, and immediately fell to his knees and begged for mercy.

Huan Chang came over and said to the two soldiers, "Tie them up and send them back to the yamen, and bring that woman as a witness."

When the two soldiers heard this, their faces showed joy.

Although they are servants, it is also credit for catching the thief, and they can get a little reward.

In the past, when his boss encountered such a thing, he would basically take the credit for himself, but Huan Chang never competed with his subordinates for credit.

On the contrary, he often deliberately gave credit to his subordinates.

Huan Chang's ability to win the support of his subordinates in such a short period of time is also inseparable from this.

"Hoohoo!"

The rest of the slow-running officers all showed envy in their eyes when they saw the two escorting the thief away.

Huan Chang said to them: "Next time, work harder, and the credit will be yours."

Several soldiers immediately agreed.

In the past, even if they tried their best to catch the thief, they would not get any credit, so the efficiency of doing things was very low.

Since Huan Chang came, everyone's enthusiasm has been mobilized.

There are even a few servants, whose positions have been promoted because of their contributions.

"Get out of the way, out of the way, out of the way!"

At this moment, a lot of people suddenly appeared on a nearby street, with shouts among them.

"what happened?"

Huan Chang frowned slightly when he saw the crowd crowded together.

"Little man, go and have a look first."

An officer held a saber and strode towards the crowd, but Huan Chang didn't pay much attention.

Not long after, the guard came back.

"Hey, it turned out to be a wife who stole a man, and her husband took her to arrest her. Now she is going to take this woman outside the city to soak in a pig cage!"

The ethos of mainland Kyushu is open and conservative.

The atmosphere is open because the vast majority of people have the right and courage to pursue happiness and love, just like Xiao Yun and Huan Chang.

I say the atmosphere is conservative because people generally dislike cheating on men and women.

Even the law clearly stipulates that if caught in bed, a man can be exiled directly if he is married, and a woman can be directly immersed in a pig cage.

This kind of law seems a bit cruel, but it is generally accepted by people in the Kyushu mainland.

Therefore, when the officer heard that the woman was stealing the man, he naturally looked contemptuous, without any sympathy at all.

Huan Chang frowned a few times, but didn't say much.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Huan Chang greeted them, and all the guards followed behind him, walking towards the crowd.

"Leave a way, everyone make a way."

A man was pushing a cart with a cage on top of which curled up a disheveled woman.

The woman is somewhat pretty, but now her eyes are red and her pretty face is a little swollen, obviously she has been beaten.

In front of the car, there were more than ten people opening the way. Among these people, there were men and women, all of whom were relatives of the woman's husband.

Huan Chang stood aside, seeing the woman's miserable appearance, he couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

But he also knows that cheating with others is one's own fault, and the laws of Lu State also have clear regulations on this situation.

Therefore, Huan Chang didn't have much to say.

"It turned out to be the daughter-in-law of the Liu family. I really didn't expect her to be this kind of person."

"That's right. Back then, her husband was poor, and the two of them depended on each other for life. They lived a very happy life in poverty. Now that her husband is well-off, it's really shameless for Mrs. Liu to hook up with other men!"

"This woman usually looks like she's doing her duty, but she didn't expect to do such a thing."

People pointing and pointing at Mrs. Liu did not show any sympathy, but contempt on their faces.

In this era, ordinary women married with their husbands, no matter what their previous surnames were, they would be called XX after marriage.

This so-and-so was her husband's last name.

Of course, those women of noble origin or status can add their own surnames among the surnames.

This woman was from an ordinary family, so if she married a man with the surname Liu, she would naturally be called the Liu family.

"Why do you only see criminal women, but no adulterers?"

Looking at the extremely miserable woman, Huan Chang couldn't help frowning slightly.

Just when Huan Chang was puzzled, he saw a man chasing after the car, with disheveled hair, looking very miserable.

"Stop, stop!"

The man shouted out of breath, and the stout man who led a dozen people to lead the way stopped suddenly.

"Third brother, do you also want to watch this woman being soaked in a pig cage?"

The man who caught up was Liu's husband, named Liu Hui, but he was born with a good-looking talent.

"She, after all, she is my first wife. Even if she did something sorry to me, I don't want to see her being soaked in a pig cage."

"This matter, let's forget about this matter."

When the onlookers heard Liu Hui's words, they immediately talked about it.

"The third child of the Liu family is really kind-hearted. If it were my mother-in-law who stole someone, I would definitely dip her into a pig cage with my own hands."

"I think Liu Laosan is stupid in reading, how can this kind of woman be let go?"

Everyone was talking about Liu Hui's performance, but Huan Chang looked at him with admiration.

　I wish everyone a happy National Day in advance, three times a day these days.
