Great Tang Broom Star

Wang Ji has always felt that ignorant living is like livestock.

In his eyes, ordinary people are like livestock.

The people are busy all day just for two meals a day, just for the clothes to cover their bodies.

But Wang Ji has already left this low-level pursuit. After eating and drinking every day, he has a cup of tea, reads a book under the window, and takes a walk in the woods... I invite a few friends to drink, and everyone points out the country and encourages words... …

This is living!

But he still felt that his living conditions were not good enough, and envied his in-law Cui Shi.

The people of the Cui family have long since left behind the pursuit of these things, and their children have had clear goals since their hair was tied up and taught.

"The purpose of Cui's people is to become an official, to be appointed as a marquis and a prime minister."

Wang Ji is a little envious of such a high level of life, but he can't learn it, and he doesn't have the ability.

"Alang!"

A servant hurried in, "Wang Liang was killed by Mrs. Zhao."

Wang Ji was startled, "What?"

The servant panicked and said: "Wang Liang went to warn Mrs. Zhao, who would have thought that Mrs. Zhao was prepared, and took advantage of his unpreparedness...to kill Wang Liang with one blow."

"Beat to death!" Wang Ji was furious, "Beat to death!"

The servant said: "It happened that a stranger passed by and saw it, and said he was reporting to the official."

"Reporting to the official?" Wang Ji calmed down, "Reporting to the official is also dead, the old man can make her regret being born!"

...

In Qinghe County, county magistrate Liu Dongqing is handling official duties.

"Mingfu."

The little official came in, "Something happened to Mrs. Wang."

"Huh?" Liu Dongqing put down her pen, "What's the matter?"

"Wang's steward was stabbed to death by the farmer's wife."

Liu Dongqing picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked lightly, "Is it a hidden household or a household registration?"

"Hidden household." The little official pondered his thoughts, "The Wang family wanted to kill the peasant woman, but there happened to be travelers passing by, saying that they were reporting to the officials on their behalf, and those people had already arrived just now.

"

"Follow the rules first."

Liu Dongqing looked calm.

The little official understood, "Yes. People from the Wang family are waiting, let's talk about it after a few days."

After Liu Dongqing waited for him to leave, she looked at the void in a daze.

"What do you learn all the time?"

Ahead, two men are reporting the crime.

"The woman killed someone, but those big men saw the vicious force outside her house and were about to strike. She can be regarded as a counterattack, right? Besides...how did I hear that the woman's husband was beaten to death? Why did the man who killed her come to the door? Kill that woman again? Such a cruel Wang, yeah, I have never seen such a vicious person."

The man who reported the crime moved his feet and looked sour.

The official who received them said with a cold face: "Understood."

Knowing the three words can be called advancing, attacking, retreating, or defending... I know, but what I do has nothing to do with you, and I won't tell you.

The man said dissatisfied: "This is Wang's side who killed the first... By the way, I want to ask, her husband was killed... Has the murderer been caught?"

The official coughed dryly, "I still have something to do."

The official turned around and left. The man said, "Hey! Killing people pays for their lives. You don't care about killing people. Whose reason is this?"

"roll!"

The little official outside the door shouted.

"Bao Dong, let's go."

A thunder-faced man shouted outside.

The man shook his head, "It's not a problem!"

After leaving the county hall, the two squatted outside the door.

"The prisoner is brought."

Mrs. Zhao was escorted by two big men, her face was bruised and swollen.

"Hey! Who the hell did a lynching?!"

Bao Dong got angry and stepped forward to question him.

Some of the following group of big men scolded: "You bitch, what have you got to do with it? Get out of Qinghe County!"

This is Qinghe County in Beizhou Prefecture, and it is also the headquarters of the Cui family. How can these big men put two foreigners in their eyes.

Mrs. Zhao raised her eyes and glanced at Bao Dong, her eyes were filled with dead silence.

What can make a person so hopeless?

So much so that she felt that death was better than life.

A big man kicked Mrs. Zhao as if in a demonstration.

"Bitch slave!"

Boom!

The world is quiet.

The big man's face was swollen like a pig's head.

"The stranger killed."

Those big men were furious, rushed over and besieged.

Isn't it easy for a group of people to besiege two foreigners?

Bang bang bang bang bang!

The officials watching the bustle stared at the fallen men with dumbfounded expressions.

"There are murderers!"

The petty officials rushed out with weapons in hand.

Two people killed so many slaves of the Wang family?

"I'm afraid this girl is not a gangster."

"Take it!"

There was more evil in Bao Dong's eyes, and Lei Hong said: "Don't do it, this is an official, if you do it, we will be wrong."

The two were arrested without a fight and were put in prison immediately.

There is a prison for detaining criminals here in the county, which is under the jurisdiction of the county lieutenant. The county lieutenant needs to count the number of prisoners every day when he goes to the yamen to ensure that no one escapes.

The conditions of the prisons in the county are naturally not as good as those of the Ministry of Criminal Justice and Dali Temple, or even the rooms where Baiqi detains prisoners.

There was a rancid smell in the cell, and the insider wanted to vomit.

"Wait to die."

The two little officials sneered.

"Yeah, I can't die!"

Lei Hong also sneered.

"How dare you talk back!"

The little official kicked Lei Hong in.

Boom!

The cell door closed.

"Damn, so many fleas!"

The two unlucky ones were dumbfounded.

"There are a lot of lice, how can I sleep here?"

Lei Hong wailed, "The Duke ordered us to come and stand in front, and you are the only impulsive one. This is good, come in."

The little official went back and returned to his life.

"Mingfu, those two have been imprisoned."

Liu Dongqing nodded, "Turn back and deal with it."

"Liu Ming Mansion."

When Wang She came, he said with a sullen face, "Those two foreigners must be punished severely."

These words smacked of domineering, the key is that Liu Dongqing felt that he had become Wang's subordinate, so he said displeasedly: "This old man will deal with it."

Wang She looked up at him, "The old man's nephew is dead."

Liu Dongqing's eyes were slightly cold, "There are rules."

Wang She suddenly laughed, "That's a hermit. What are the rules? Hermits are my livestock. When will the rules be in charge of us and other big families? The rules of Liu Ming's mansion? Or the rules of the Tang Dynasty?"

Liu Dongqing's face was ashen, Wang She stood up, "I still have to go to Cui's."

The base camp of Qinghe Cui is here.

Liu Dongqing's back softened, "I will deal with it strictly when I turn back."

He can't afford to offend Cui Shi... Once Cui Shi launches his network, he, a little county magistrate, will become cannon fodder in an instant.

You cheap dog slave, if you don't fight, you won't listen!

Wang She said aggressively: "Mr. Zhao will be handed over to Mr. Wang."

Liu Dongqing nodded silently.

When Wang She went out, Liu Dongqing said: "Those two foreigners are very good at fighting, if they insist on this matter, Wang will be in trouble."

He will also be in trouble.

Wang She said proudly: "In Qinghe, I am waiting for the sky. Tell those two foreigners that this is Qinghe Cui's business. The smart ones will naturally keep quiet, and the unintelligent ones...my family has its own ideas."

Liu Dongqing stared blankly at the void, and sighed for a long time, "What have you learned?"

Outside the city, dozens of riders are verifying their identities.

"Where did it come from?"

The sergeant guarding the gate was also very arrogant.

As someone said, show Qinghe Cui the gate, and the children in the family will feel a little extravagant.

The guard in charge of negotiation said, "He's from Chang'an."

The sergeant stretched out his hand, "Pass."

The pass is the proof of travel.

The guard took out a document.

The sergeant's face changed drastically, "Dare to ask..."

The guard said indifferently: "Mr. Zhao is here to do business in Beizhou."

The sergeant raised his eyes and saw Jia Ping'an and a young man standing behind, pointing at the county seat.

"This is Qinghe County. The so-called Qinghe Cui originated here. Next door is Boling and Boling Cui. With the Li family of Zhao County and the Lu family of Fanyang, Hebei Road can be called the old den of the nobles."

"Uncle, then we are here to poke a hornet's nest."

"yes!"

Jia Ping'an was a little excited.

"I have seen the Duke."

The sergeant guarding the gate saluted solemnly.

"Hard."

Jia Pingan rode his horse into the city.

"Guo Gong and Bao Dong were captured by Qinghe County."

The Baiqi people went to inquire about the news.

"The two of them went to the village to investigate the news of Feng Wuzhi's death. They happened to be met by someone from Mrs. Wang. Mrs. Zhao, Feng Wu's wife, had a knife in her pocket and stabbed Mrs. Wang's steward to death. The hero slave of the family killed the Zhao family, and then went to the county to report the crime, but was locked in."

"Have you found a place to live?"

Jia Pingan is not in a hurry to do this.

"Found it."

...

Qinghe Cui is so famous that Cui Jing, the patriarch of this generation, usually does not go out when he has nothing to do.

The days at home are also quite carefree, reading, wandering around in Zhuangzi when there is nothing to do. As long as he is willing, he can go to Qinghe, and even Hebei Road at any time.

The pass house restricts the travel of ordinary people. With Cui Jing's status, he said that if he goes to Boling in the afternoon, the pass house will be done in half an hour at most.

When their identities reached a certain level, they simply couldn't understand the troubles of ordinary people.

"Alang."

Cui Jing is walking in the woods at home, holding a volume of books in his hand, which is a collection of poems from the Wei and Jin Dynasties.

Celebrities in the Wei and Jin Dynasties were fond of empty talk, and their poems all carried a sense of being out of the world.

"What is it?"

Cui Jing turned around, his eyes were peaceful.

The servant said, "Jia Ping'an came to Qinghe County half an hour ago."

Cui Jing said indifferently: "What is this enemy of the gentry coming to Qinghe for? Forget it, you don't even know."

The servant bowed his head.

"Brother!"

Someone came outside, Cui Jing smiled and said, "Why did Wulang come back from Chang'an?"

It was Cui Chen who came.

His face was slightly cold, "The old man followed Jia Ping'an to Qinghe, brother, do you know why this son came here? It was because of Wang's killing of a hermit..."

Cui Jing narrowed his eyes slightly, "For the death of a hermit...not so. Why did the hermit die?"

Cui Chen said: "Feng Wu made a noise to immigrate to Anxi, but was beaten to death by Wang."

Cui Jing closed the book slowly, pondering for a long time.

Cui Chen was in a hurry all the way, and he was hungry and thirsty at the moment, "Go and get me some tea and a piece of pastry."

Cui Jing sighed suddenly, "Hey! The rain is coming!"

Cui Chen nodded, "The old man suspects that he wants to use this to deal with Cui Shi."

Cui Jing's eyes narrowed slightly, "You underestimated him. The death of a hermit is not a big deal, and Jia Ping'an will not come down. There is only one possibility for him to come here... and that is to use this to clean up."

"Clean up..." Cui Chen sneered, "Does he still dare to clean up hermits?"

Cui Jing said: "Why didn't he dare?"

Cui Chen said calmly: "If he dares to clean up the hermit, he will become the enemy of the world."

Hidden households are not only owned by noble families, powerful and high-ranking officials, local wealthy families, who doesn’t have hidden households?

As long as this is touched, the core interests of the superior are touched.

"Does he want to commit suicide?"

"He probably wanted to die."

...

A big man appeared outside Qinghe County, "Let him go."

"Who are you……"

Liu Dongqing asked.

"Li Jingye, doctor of the Ministry of Punishment!"

Here comes the future British Duke.

Liu Dongqing smiled wryly, "Mr. Li didn't know that those two beat up the local people..."

People from the Wang family came and stared at Li Jingye. Someone asked, "Who is this person? Why is Liu Mingfu so respectful?"

"Tell me what Li Langzhong is."

Li Jingye sneered, "What kind of bullshit common people, aren't they just slaves? Let them go, they come looking for something!"

A slave of the Wang family came over and scolded: "You poor dog slave, yeah..."

Snapped!

With just one slap, Hao Nu fell to the ground without making a sound.

Liu Dongqing: "..."

"Let... let people go!"

When Bao Dong and Lei Hong came out, they saw a man lying on the ground, and Li Jingye looked impatient, so they knew that this man had lost his temper.

"This is the doctor of the Ministry of punishment."

The slaves of the Wang family didn't dare to do anything, so they went back to report.

Wang Ji is not at home.

He went to Choi's.

"Jia Ping'an came and said that he wanted to investigate the matter of preventing people from emigrating."

Wang Ji didn't panic.

Cui Jing didn't see him, it was Cui Chen who came forward to receive him.

"Immigration? The Wang family handles this matter well." Cui Chen was very cold, "Also, restrain yourself..."

Wang Ji was puzzled, "Cui's family is here, does Jia Pingan dare to make a move?"

The idiot!

Why are local wealthy families so domineering? Because they are local tyrants, but they don't know the changes in Chang'an.

"Be careful!"

Naturally, Cui Chen couldn't weaken his family's prestige.

"The old man just keep an eye on it."

Wang Ji returned home, and when he learned that the two foreigners had been taken away by the Ministry of Punishment, he sneered, "Jia Ping'an is domineering."

What is the Emperor of Earth.

This is the Emperor of Earth!

The long-term domineering life makes them feel that they are gods and can overlook the world. If you want to say that Jia Ping'an is a famous general, Wang Ji will say that Qinghe County is Yeye's territory, where the dragon coils up and the tiger lies down.

Cui Jing was thinking about Jia Pingan.

"What will he do? The hermit is beaten to death, and the Wang family can just throw someone out to take the blame."

...

"The people of the Wang family are domineering, and they actually wanted to kill the Zhao family on the spot. The two of us couldn't see it, so we came forward."

Bao Dong felt ashamed.

Lei Hong said: "The two of us missed a big deal..."

They felt they would be scolded and punished, and they were prepared.

Jia Pingan said: "Human life is the most important thing."

Bao Dong was overjoyed, "Duke, now the Zhao family is locked up in Qinghe County, and they hear screams every day..."

"The county let Wang's people go in and beat Zhao's."

Jia Pingan is clear about this door.

"The law is only for the inferior people. If the Zhao family kills Wang's people, they will naturally not be able to escape the end of the torture."

"This case is troublesome." The accompanying official said: "The proof of Zhao's murder is solid, and even Feng Wu's murder is less sympathetic. Wang's can throw someone out to take the blame. Duke, these powerful families have such means... Some people do such things as motivating slaves to take the blame with money and food, and exchanging one person’s bad luck for the whole family’s good life.”

"Sacrifice one of them, and make the whole family happy."

Such things are not uncommon in later generations.

"They probably thought that as soon as I arrived in Qinghe, I would rush into the Wang family and fight..."

Li Hong came in and said, "Uncle, you did a lot of things like this before."

"nonsense!"

Jia Pingan said seriously: "I was filled with righteous indignation and couldn't bear it."

Li Hong sat down, "Just now when the guards came to report, someone was watching outside."

"Forget it."

Jia Ping got up, "I found Jingye."

...

Outside the intersection of the station, several people scattered at the moment, either squatting lazily or taking a walk.

"Out."

Jia Pingan came out with more than ten people.

"Follow."

Jia Pingan and others went to the county office.

"I have seen the Duke."

Liu Dongqing brought people out to meet him.

"Qinghe is a good place."

Jia Pingan walked in and praised casually.

But Liu Dongqing didn't dare to take the blame.

"There are outstanding people here, and I heard that there have been gods?"

Liu Dongqing didn't dare not answer, "It seems there is."

"That's right." Jia Pingan smiled, "I heard that the fairy's surname is Cui."

Liu Dongqing was dripping with sweat.

This is cursing at Mrs. Cui!

After entering the lobby, Jia Pingan didn't hesitate, "I heard that a hermit was killed in Qinghe, and his wife took revenge for her husband. Is there such a thing?"

To avenge her husband... This taste is wrong!

At least half of the officials in the hall changed color.

Li Hong pretended to be a small official accompanying him, watching with cold eyes at this moment, he couldn't help feeling cold.

Are these officials from the Tang Dynasty or from the Cui family?

The local officials are all locals, and the locals naturally have to follow the local rules.

For example, if the Cui family is the local emperor of Beizhou, they will naturally bow their heads and obey their ears.

Liu Dongqing smiled wryly, "This matter... the envoy has intervened."

There is no technical content in this pot.

The Beizhou government is located in Qinghe County, and the Governor's Mansion is not far away.

But since Jia Ping'an arrived in Qinghe, there was no movement in the governor's mansion.

How about saying hello?

But Mei Yongren, the governor of Beizhou, seemed to be deaf and didn't react at all.

"I was ordered to deal with this matter, so, bring Mrs. Zhao here, and I will try the case."

Mrs. Zhao was brought up.

As soon as the two little officials loosened their hands, Mrs. Zhao let out a miserable howl and fell to the ground.

Jia Pingan looked calm, "Look."

Lei Hong stepped forward to inquire, raised his head and said, "Duke, Mrs. Zhao's leg was broken."

At this moment, Zhao's face could no longer be seen as human, and her screams were hoarse, like a beast.

"Who did it?"

Jia Pingan asked very calmly.

The officials below were silent.

Jia Pingan looked at Liu Dongqing, "Who did it?"

Liu Dongqing forced a smile and said, "It's torture..."

Boom!

The case file and Liu Dongqing's face collided intimately, and Jia Pingan scolded: "Kao Nima!"

He stood up and said, "Zhao's murder is confirmed. What is the torture? Why did she kill? Liu Dongqing, are you humiliating Jia's wisdom?"

Liu Dongqing raised her head and saw that Jia Ping'an's eyes were full of murderous intent. Just as she was about to speak, Mrs. Zhao stopped howling and shouted, "It's from Mrs. Wang..."

Jia Pingan took a deep breath, "Why can Wang's people go in and out of prison freely? Why can they be lynched in prison?"

No one answered.

"Emperor of Earth!"

Jia Pingan sneered, "Who let him go?"

An official below came out, trembling all over.

"Take it!"

The accompanying Baiqi rushed up, kicked him down, and then got on the rope.

"The jailers take them all!"

The entourage took over the Qinghe County Prison.

"Treat her."

The accompanying doctors acted to set Zhao's bones.

"Thank you..."

Mrs. Zhao lay on the ground, tears gushing like springs.

"Slaves are hermits... Slaves are livestock, but they killed the slave's husband... They will not kill the livestock, just because the livestock can work, but the slave's husband can also work, but they..."

A hermit is not as good as a dog!

This is the state of society in this world.

There is a difference between hidden households and escaped households. Escaped households are people who flee spontaneously and lose their traces and cannot collect taxes. But hermit households are different. Hermit households mostly refer to farmers in the homes of upper-class people.

Hidden households are actually slaves, even lower in status than slaves.

Jia Ping looked up at the void, and suddenly said...

"This damn world!"
