Touring the Ming Dynasty

I saw the boss Liu Bi, who was still very arrogant yesterday, kneeling in front of the inn gate with his upper body bare, and a man dressed in the uniform of a military officer of the sixth rank held a whip and lashed Liu Bi skillfully.

Every whip was whipped very hard, and there was no cheating at all. It only made Liu Bi's skin splattered with blood and flew straight. Liu Bi cried and cried, but he didn't dare to hide, and he didn't even dare to beg for mercy. At this time, he suddenly saw Duan Fei Kneeling like seeing a savior, he quickly crawled up to Duan Fei, hugged Duan Fei's calf, kowtowed vigorously and shouted: "Master, my lord, please forgive me, I won't dare again!"

The people around all backed away, Duan Fei hadn't figured out what was going on, the sixth-rank military officer put away his long whip and walked over with his hands, cupped his hands and said to Duan Fei: "Wang Xu, commander of the soldiers and horses of Xia Yingtian North City, is your Excellency?" ..."

Duan Fei also cupped his fists to return the salute, and said with a smile: "The lower official is Duan Fei, the head arrester of Baoying County under the administration of Yangzhou. He has met Mr. Wang."

A strange look flashed in Wang Xu's eyes, and he said, "It turned out to be Catcher Duan. Yesterday, Catcher Duan must have stopped Liu Bi from committing crimes against the law and rescued that girl?"

"That's right, it's me. I heard that Mr. Wang is the brother-in-law of Boss Liu?" Duan Fei didn't know the inside story, so he asked back casually, thinking to himself: "Could it be that I said yesterday that Liu Bi's rebellion scared this Beicheng soldier?" Sir Commander?"

There was a layer of oily sweat on Wang Xu's forehead, and the doubts in his heart had disappeared. Although the boy opposite him was just a county-level head arrester from the ninth rank, he saw that the fifth-rank official who was much higher than him actually He can still remain calm, neither overbearing nor humble, and even has a bit of irony in his tone. What does this mean?No wonder there is no strong background!

Wang Xu secretly said in his heart: "No wonder what happened here not long ago, my uncle, who is the commander of the Wucheng Bingmasi, came to the Beicheng Bingmasi Yamen angrily and scolded me. If I hadn't been filial He is the only seedling in the family again, losing his official position is a matter of one word, I don't know where this kid came from, and he must not be easily offended again!"

Wang Xu said in a respectful tone towards the superior: "Lord Duan, my brother-in-law is really out of shape. He usually uses my name to bully the people. I wouldn't have known if there hadn't been an accident yesterday. I had already called him away last night. I have taught him a lesson at home, and today he is severely punished in front of everyone. I only hope that the people who were bullied by him in the past can be appeased. Dare to do more evil."

"My lord, my lord Duan, spare the little dog's life!" Liu Bi was beaten badly, he had already received Wang Xu's advice, and now he dared not say anything, only begged for mercy, and those who were bullied by him couldn't help secretly Clap your hands and applaud, and the people who came to see the excitement surrounded the inner three layers and the outer three layers were tight.

Although Duan Fei went in without knowing it, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and just took advantage of the slope to say: "It turns out that Mr. Wang's family rules are strict, and the officials admire him. Boss Liu also suffered a lot. What happened yesterday is just like this." Forget it, Mr. Wang, I have an errand, so I can't stay here for long, please ask Mr. Wang to take Boss Liu to heal his wounds. If it takes too long, I'm afraid there will be more people gathering, which is a bit inappropriate!"

Wang Xu chuckled, put a worried heart into his stomach, took out a folded paper from his bosom, stuffed it into Duan Fei's hand, and said with a smile: "My wife and brother are too messy, please Forgive me, Mr. Duan, this is something he secretly left behind from that girl, and I ask Mr. Duan to dispose of it properly, and I am leaving."

Wang Xu brought a few of his men into the inn with Liu Bi in their hands. The doctor must have been invited to wait there. Duan Fei shouted loudly to the onlookers: "Everyone disperse, there is no good show, if you don't disperse, be careful and I will tell you to gather the crowd." make trouble!"

Everyone scattered in awe. In Yingtian, spitting casually could splash on a high-ranking official. However, the Wucheng Bingma Division is a department with real power, and the person who can make the dignified Beicheng Bingma Division apologize in person is naturally worthy of it. awe.

Even Guo Wei and the others were surprised. Not far from Tianxia Inn, Guo Wei approached and said, "Brother Fei, what's going on? Did that guy take the wrong medicine?"

"I don't know either. Maybe there was some important person among the bystanders yesterday who warned Wang Xu afterwards." Duan Fei replied, although it was a guess, but it was the most reasonable answer, and it was also in line with the facts. After a pause, Duan Fei said again: "We were transferred here temporarily. It is best to solve the matter like this. We must be careful in the future."

Shi Bin nodded repeatedly, followed Duan Fei for a few steps, and finally asked curiously: "Brother Fei, what did he stuff for you, is it a bank note?"

Duan Fei knew that everyone was curious, so he unfolded the piece of paper in front of everyone, and said loudly: "It's not a bank note, it's a contract of sale, it must have been forged by Liu Bicheng's girl when she was in a coma. I still gave it to the girl to tear it up with her own hands."

Shi Bin and the others suddenly realized that after hearing Duan Fei's words, the people nearby also withdrew their curious or contemptuous eyes, and some people quickly crossed out what they just wrote down.

The matter did not end here as Duan Fei thought. They patrolled the street not long ago, and they saw a sedan chair rushing towards Xuanwu Lake from a distance. There was a person walking quickly in front of the sedan chair, who was in charge of arranging Duan Fei and the others. Mr. Zhang Zhengsong is the general judge of Yingtianfu who lives and patrols the place.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, restricted the third rank and above of Beijing officials to be allowed to ride in sedan chairs. Although Ying Tian is no longer in the capital, he has continued this rule. Duan Fei jumped up a few steps in surprise, bowed and said: "Master Zhang..."

Zhang Zhengsong hurriedly returned a salute, and said: "Duan Butou, I finally found you. Our prefect has almost traveled all over this area in order to find you."

The sedan chair stopped in front of Duan Fei, and Ma Wentao, the magistrate of Yingtian, got out of the sedan chair, and squinted his eyes at Duan Fei, with a smile on his face, and said, "You are Duan Fei? You really are a good-looking talent."

Duan Fei rushed forward to meet him, but Ma Wentao stretched out his hand to support him, as if he didn't dare to accept his gift, and said cheerfully: "There is no need to be too polite, Duan Butou has started patrolling so early, if my yamen servants If Duan Tutou is as diligent in official duties, I, the magistrate, will be at ease."

Duan Fei was surprised when he heard that he seemed to be trying to solicit. To tell the truth, Ma Zhifu asked for a long time and still couldn't figure out which Buddha was behind Duan Fei, so he could only leave with doubts in the end.

As soon as the magistrate left, Zhang Zhengsong immediately changed the assignment for Duan Fei and the others. From now on, Duan Fei and the others only need to stay in the yamen of Yingtian Mansion to drink tea and pick up and deliver some official documents.

"What's going on here?" Duan Fei said to himself, "Who is messing with me?"

Guo Wei said: "Brother Fei, this is a good thing. You can spend a day enjoying yourself while drinking tea and reading newspapers. You don't need to be exposed to the sun and rain, and you don't have to worry about getting into trouble accidentally. Isn't that great?"

Duan Fei said: "Stupid, what's the fun of staying in the yamen, you can no longer eat fried chicken wings from Lao Liu in front of the Guandi Temple, and you can no longer see flower girls all over the street. They are all older than us, and when the time comes, nodding and bowing will exhaust you to death, do you think that is carefree?"

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other. Brother Fei is right. How could it be so easy to wander the streets every day while drinking tea and reading newspapers? Anyway, Brother Fei packs everything for food, and there are all those flower girls all over the street... …

Duan Fei rolled his eyes and had another idea, he smiled and said, "Don't be so sad, he told us to stay in the magistrate's yamen, so let's stay in the magistrate's yamen? Look at me."

Since the Shangguan had orders, Duan Fei and the others were also happy to relax, and after sending a policeman back to hand over, everyone went shopping freely.

At noon, everyone was having lunch at Liji Sauce Duck Restaurant, and when they were chatting broadly, a customer at another table suddenly called out: "Xiao Er, tell me to make an angelica chicken in the kitchen and take it away."

Turning around, he said to another guest: "My daughter-in-law has just recovered from a serious illness and needs to take care of her body. I hope that the root cause of the disease will not be left behind."

Duan Fei's heart moved, and he called Xiaoer and said, "Prepare an angelica chicken for me too, and take it away."
