"Master... Master, it's bad. Cyclops, they've been caught!"

A little boy ran into the yard of the magistrate to deliver the message.

The magistrate Hou just came back from the damned Yamen. He just took off his clothes and drank the herbal tea from a little beauty in his backyard.

Suddenly I heard the news.

"Bang!" He put the tea cup on the table with a loud noise.

"What did you say?"

He lifted the boy's collar.

"Who caught it and how?"?! Say it

Strange, as long as he doesn't care about Jinling City, who else dares to bypass Hou Yaozu and arrest people at will!

The little guy was so scared that he quickly went to the tunnel trembling.

"Master, it's Governor Chen who caught it. It's said that Governor Chen and some people happened to pass by Jingtai building, and they found that there was a fight, so they caught people."

The magistrate's eyes flickered and hesitated.

"Really?"

"Master, what I said is true!"

"Well..."

Magistrate Hou stroked his beard and paced back and forth, thinking about problems.

After a while, he finally asked again.

"Where is it?"

"It's in the prison of our Yamen. I'm not very clear about the details!"

The magistrate's heart was completely relieved.

"That's good."

With that, he ordered.

"Although the man was captured by Governor Chen, the cell is ours. You sneak in and send a message to the one eyed dragon."

"Just say..."

"Tell him to keep his mouth shut. If he dares to tell me, his family won't live!"

"Yes, sir!"

The boy ran away in a flash.

The magistrate Hou was not in the mood to spoil the little beauty any more, and returned to the front yard with a smelly face.

The next day, yamen ordered Mao.

Governor Chen happened to be there. When magistrate Hou saw him, he was a little upset, but he was still polite.

"Oh, what's the matter with the governor?"

Governor Chen pretended that he could not see his boredom, but he didn't agree.

"It's said that I'm an official. Although I can't go to court now, I still need this. Didn't I ever do it before?"

Hou said with a smile.

"Naturally!"

Then he asked tentatively.

"My Lord, I'm here today for a fight yesterday?"

When Governor Chen saw that he took the initiative to mention it, he said.

"The information from the magistrate Hou is really well-informed. I'm here today for this case!"

"What? What can I do for you

After thinking about it, magistrate Hou said.

"Jinling City is located in the south of the Yangtze River. There are a lot of merchants who travel south and North. There are a lot of good and bad people in the streets. Fighting is very common."

"Over the years, I have been very experienced in dealing with these matters."

"If you don't dislike it, you'd better leave it to the next officer!"

"Oh?"

Governor Chen stroked his beard with deep meaning in his eyes. A moment later, he refused.

"Wait for the magistrate!"

"Although I'm from Beijing, I still have the ability to handle cases."

"This matter, since it happened to me, should be handed over to me!"

When the magistrate Hou saw that he could not win over, he did not dare to say anything again for a moment.

Outside the day gradually overcast up, looking at immediately there is a pouring rain.

Chen Juzheng suddenly thought of something and said.

"Mr. Hou, when I first came to the south of the Yangtze River, I walked along the Weihe River and found that many of the levees along the Weihe River had been in disrepair for a long time."

"If I remember correctly, the Ministry of household has set aside special money every year to repair the river banks. I don't know if Lord Hou has done it according to the emperor's will."

There is a saying in officialdom that everything is about evidence.

You can't talk without evidence.

If he didn't know that the magistrate Hou had been gagging for many years, he would never have spoken to him in such a tone.

However, the magistrate Hou didn't know what was wrong with his tone.

In fact, there was a thump in his heart.

"Big... My Lord! You're joking. I've been an official in Jinling City for many years, and the Weihe River embankment has been repaired year by year, but nothing has happened. Thank you for your concern! "

With that, he added.

"There will never be a problem, you can rest assured!"

Chen Juzheng gave him a sharp glance and snorted.

"It's better!"

With that, Chen Juzheng left.

Only the magistrate Hou was there to wipe his sweat and wipe it again and again.

Just now, it was so close!

Building a river bank? ha-ha! It doesn't exist.

When he first came to office, he went to have a look in the first two years. There was no crack at all. The riverbank was extremely strong.

There's no need to fix it.

Later, he didn't even bother to go to see it. I don't care. I haven't had an accident for so many years. I'm sure it won't happen this time!

But

If there is something wrong with his expression, the governor may see the clue.

Well, fortunately!

The magistrate Hou was just glad that it began to rain cats and dogs outside.

Chen Juzheng just got on the carriage, outside the horse was beaten hoarse by the rain, the wind mixed with the rain into the carriage.

His clothes soon soaked through.

However, this is not what Chen Juzheng cares about now.

He lifted the curtain and ordered.

"Turn around the horse head and go to the direction of Jingtai building!"

"Yes

The coachman answered, put on his raincoat and hat, and drove to the direction of Jingtai building.

At this time, a humble boy ran to the Yamen through the rain curtain.

"My Lord, I heard it with my own ears! If you don't believe me, you can go to Jingtai building to check it in person! "

Magistrate Hou is a little dubious.

"OK, you go to Jingtai building immediately to see if Mr. Chen has really gone!"

After the command, he suddenly remembered something and ordered again.

"Tell the shopkeeper of Jingtai building to pay close attention to every move of the adults when they go to Jingtai building. They should report who they see, what they say and what they do without a word!"

"Well done, sir, I'm very much rewarded!"

"Yes The boy replied excitedly.

The magistrate Hou looked at his figure running away, with a smile on his lips.

"Mr. Chen, I'll just say, how can a fight catch only one side of the crowd?"

"I'll tell you what, Mr. Huang, where did he get the confidence to go wild in Jinling City?"

"I have long expected that he has a backer, but I never thought that his backer turned out to be Mr. Chen!"

"It seems that..."

It seems that... Everyone is on the road!

Since they are all on the road, it's better for us to be kind. As the saying goes, harmony makes money!

You provide me with convenience, I will not block your way of making money, we help each other, common prosperity, how good!

Now, Jingtai building.

After the fight, the shopkeeper changed the rooms for them, but after all, the rooms were limited, and there were few left.

Therefore, Xia Ruqing and Lan Xi shared a room, and Yun Fei lived in one by herself.
