Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 855

Just as the prefect of Changzhou Prefecture was about to say a few more polite words, the chaotic voices behind him could no longer be fooled by pretending not to hear them. While cursing secretly, they turned their heads to reprimand them.

The eyes of the people on the boat and the shore all turned to the chaotic place. The scene was indeed shocking. A few dozen steps away from Wang Tong's boat, several big men were chasing a thin boy.

To welcome the arrival of the imperial envoys, all levels of yamen in Changzhou Prefecture, as well as famous gentry came, together with the guards to maintain order, the gong and drum team, as well as the entourage of the wealthy and noble people, and other spectators, happened to be here All kinds of people are waiting, and the pier is really crowded.

It was precisely because of this crowding that those big guys couldn't catch the boy, they pushed and shouted and cursed. Many servants of rich and noble families were also used to rampant behavior. Once they were bumped into, they would be furious and tear them apart.

Those big men were all wearing turbans, but someone was quick enough to tear off the turban of one big man, revealing his bald head, the ring scar on the top of his head was clearly visible under the sunlight.

Seeing this, the people on the shore fell silent and dodged in a hurry. As soon as the crowd dispersed, the big guys immediately chased after the boy.

However, he was already on the side of the canal, so he was already close to the canal. Wang Tong also saw the young man holding an oilcloth bag in his hand. When he reached the bank, the young man jumped into the river directly.

"What are you still doing there stupidly, let the government lose face in front of the imperial envoy, hurry up and arrest those lawless rioters and drive them away!!"

The prefect of Changzhou yelled loudly there, he really couldn't hold back his face, the head catcher who followed a few people away heard this, and hurriedly yelled at the guards and catcher to wait for others to go there together.

The young man was very good at swimming, he threw himself into the river, and only showed his head at a distance from the river bank. Some of the big guys who chased him also jumped into the water, and some yelled for a boat to come over from the bank.

This was much more interesting than expected. Wang Tong watched the bustle with interest, and he could tell that even though the magistrate gave orders, the movements of the officers and arresters were not smooth, they walked slowly, and they seemed to have no action when they arrived , It seems to be a gesture of persuasion. The big men standing by the river calling the boat are very rude, and these officials are all apologetic.

Wang Tong didn't believe that the servants in Changzhou Mansion were different from those in other places, and they even played such a friendly deed. If it was the imperial servants here, or their magistrate ordered it, it was really strange that they were still so timid.

He ran fast on the road, but he might not swim fast in the water. The big man who jumped into the water was very good at swimming, and he would soon catch up. Naturally, the turban couldn't be worn in the water, and he also showed a shiny bald head.

"The imperial envoy, Mr. Xiaomin, has a grievance to sue."

The boy yelled in the water and was choked a few more times, but he was still far away from Wang Tong's fleet. If there were people from Suzhou Wu County here, and if they often went to teahouses, they would definitely recognize that this was the one. A black-faced boy with a hoarse voice who often sells spiced beans, but this boy's voice is sharp at this time, and he can't hear any hoarseness. Looking in the water, he looks like a painted face, not a black face.

Unexpectedly, it was related to him, Wang Tong turned his head and glanced, just said:
"Catch it!"

The order was passed on immediately, there was no current on the canal, and the wind and sea were calm. Hearing Wang Tong's order, the boatman in the fleet stretched out with a long bamboo pole for the boy to catch.

That young man can also swim. In fact, the meaning of sticking out the bamboo pole on the imperial envoy's boat is to stop those who are chasing after him. He drew a short knife and stabbed directly.

Now that the boat was on the shore, everyone was staring at this side. When they saw the man take out the knife, they immediately cried out in surprise, but on Wang Tong's fleet, there were always people standing in the cabin and watching.

The bald man in the river took out his dagger, and Mo Zhigen, who was on the cabin, immediately drew his bow and set an arrow, and shot it out. It really was a brilliant shot, and it was directly nailed into the bald man's brain.

The young man also grabbed the bamboo pole at this moment, and was pulled up by Wang Tong's men little by little. The shore was silent for a while, and then there was a cry of alarm, he was dead.

"Prefect Luo, there are people committing murder with knives in broad daylight, Changzhou is so peaceful!"

Hearing Wang Tong's question with a smile, the sweat on Luo Zhifu's face dripped out. Who would have thought that such a bastard would come across such a bastard thing even if the imperial envoy greeted him beamingly? Frustrated, the prefect Luo turned his head and shouted:

"Da Ya, how did you become the head catcher!?"

Standing in the distance, the chief catcher named Da Ya came out of the queue in a hesitant manner. When he got here, he knelt down and kowtowed and said:
"Imperial Envoy Grand Master, Fu Tai Master calm down, the villain will go to investigate right now."

It's the rule that big fish eat small fish, and here he looks like a grandson, the head catcher turned his head and yelled:

"Why let those murderers go, don't you want this job?"

There is a status as a servant who can eat and drink hot food in the city, and be domineering. This is naturally a good job, and no one is willing to throw it away easily. I never thought that the people behind would have embarrassed looks on their faces when they heard it.

Wang Tong also noticed that the few big men who called the boat on the bank just now had left, and no guards stepped forward to stop them, and someone over there whispered a few words in Da Ya's ear.

The head of the Changzhou prefecture, Da Ya, shook his body, knelt down without hesitation, got up and whispered a few words in the prefect's ear, and the prefect Luo immediately had a embarrassed look on his face, and turned to Wang Tong and said:
"Master Imperial Envoy, those gangsters who came here just now are rumored to be monks from Puyuan Temple, this."

Wang Tong was stunned, and after reacting, he smiled and said to Luo Zhifu:

"You are the prefect of one party, a member of the fourth rank, and you actually taboo a monk in front of this official. Don't you want to wear the black gauze on your top?"

Although he was talking with a smile, anyone could see the coldness in Wang Tong's expression clearly. Zhifu Luo was in a hurry, and he didn't care about the dignity of any civil servant, so he stepped forward and said in a low voice:

"Your Imperial Envoy doesn't know about Changzhou. This Puyuan Temple has close contacts with the nobles in Changzhou, and it's the family temple of several adults in the court. How can I offend the officials? Besides, let's say, even if I don't work as an official, this Life is still important, the imperial envoy must be considerate!"

The prefect of Luo was in a hurry, disregarding all face, such a shameless statement, Wang Tong was speechless, stared at him for a few times, shook his head, and said in a solemn voice:
"The prefect of Luo will disperse the welcoming crowd, leaving people from the government and county government waiting!"

Wang Tong said something in a cold voice, turned around and returned to the cockpit, and the two guards over there had already brought the boy over. Maybe he didn't expect the imperial envoy to be so young. He struggled eagerly a few times, and said:
"Master Imperial Envoy, Kong Ruomei, a small citizen, sued the Xu family in Songjiang Prefecture for occupying the land of the small civilian's family, killing more than a dozen lives of the villain's father's family, please make the decision, Your Excellency Imperial Envoy!!"

The voice was crisp and clear, and it was clearly a woman. Wang Tong's two soldiers let go of their hands in a hurry when they heard the voice. Lu Ruomei was caught off guard and fell to the floor all of a sudden, screaming twice.

It was only then that Wang Tong noticed that the blackness on Kong Ruomei's face and neck in the young man's attire was much blurred, and her fair complexion was already exposed in many places. Men and women are not intimate, and it is not easy to look at them too much. All the people in the room coughed and turned their heads. Wang Tong asked in a deep voice:
"Do you have any proof?"

"Xiaomin has the inventory of fish scales and land deeds from that year, as well as the confession of the whole family."

The fish scale inventory is almost the land registration catalog of a place, which is the official record of the local land division. This is indeed a strong evidence. I thought that there was nowhere to start investigating the Xu family in Songjiang, but I didn't expect someone to bring the evidence to the door suddenly. Kong Ruomei raised her head, but it seemed like she was going to die.

The girl has a painted face now, and she can't tell what she looks like, but this look reminds Wang Tong of the eyes he saw back then. Zhao Jinliang, who was lying on the bed, looked at him like this, but he didn't notice it back then, but he can see it clearly today. up.

"Little girl, are you afraid of me, that I'm the same as that Xu family?"

After asking this question, Lu Ruomei trembled all over, and indeed lowered her head. Wang Tong already understood the meaning, laughed out loud, and ordered:
"Let Miss Zhai come and accompany her, Liu Sanlang will lead ten people to guard the boat, and the rest will go ashore in full suit!"

After Wang Tong finished speaking, he walked towards the inner room, and the entire fleet began to get busy.

Such a thing happened under the eyes of the magistrate of Changzhou Prefecture, and it was fine to be reprimanded by the imperial envoy, but even the troublemaker had no way and courage to punish him, and the imperial envoy asked him to wait by the side of the boat, and he didn't know what to do. Like ants on a hot pan.

I didn't wait too long, but I saw Wang Tong in armor walking down from the boat. There were soldiers from every boat. It was hot today, but when these people appeared, everyone who saw them shivered. The only exception was a thin and small man who was beside Wang Tong, not to mention his insignificant appearance, and he was also wearing civilian clothes.

Zhifu Luo was in a daze when he heard Wang Tong say with a smile:

"Trouble prefect Luo lead the way, I'm going to worship incense and worship Buddha!"

Hearing what Wang Tong said, Zhifu Luo didn't feel relaxed at all, but felt even more chilly all over, but what else could he say at this time, he could only agree to say yes with a smile.

All the people in the government were ordered to lead the way, and they found dozens of horses for Wang Tong's team. The one who was close to Wang Tong's team could only hear the thin and wretched man say:
"This Puyuan monk was originally a big thief on Taihu Lake. He once robbed the Xu family's goods and was captured by the officers and soldiers."
