(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***)(XX website www.xxx.***) Hundred miles south of Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, among the lush trees, there is a large manor with green bricks and tiles, covering a vast area, with pink walls, black tiles and willows, and it is extremely grand. This is the manor of the Chai family, the "first family of the Song Dynasty", and thousands of acres of land belong to the Chai family.

Speaking of the Chai family, we need to start with the founding of the Song Dynasty. The ancestor of the Chai family was the Emperor of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Song Taizu was originally a military general of the Later Zhou Dynasty. Later, he launched the Chenqiao mutiny and seized the Chai family's country. However, Taizu was quite generous. He was grateful to the Chai family for his kindness to meet him. He did not kill all his descendants, but he was more favored. He did not need to mention his offerings to the Chai family every year. He also gave the Chai family "an affidavit and iron coupon". This is a super amulet. Unless he killed the official and rebelled, he would be exempted from punishment.

At first, the Chai family was naturally trembling, afraid of annoying Taizu, so they were searched for a reason to search for a reason. However, Taizu's vow was sincere and was indeed extremely generous to the Chai family. After several generations, the Chai family gradually adapted to their role and lived a life of a wealthy family with peace of mind. A super family with "an affidavit and iron coupon" was raised. Now the Chai family is like a local emperor in Cangzhou, and others dare not look at it even if they look straight.

Chai Jin, the head of the Chai family, has been fond of martial arts since childhood and has been worshipped by countless famous teachers. He is known as the "Little Tornado". He has dragon eyebrows, phoenix eyes, white teeth, red lips, three teeth, and three teeth covering his mouth and whisper. When he was young, he said that he had the appearance of "Nine Five Supreme". The fortune teller fell into the water the next day. He was so confused.

Chai Jin was righteous and kind. Jiang Zhi loved to make friends with heroes from the world and raised countless farmers, including many good people. Cangzhou was a place where prisoners were exiled. Chai Jin was like a fish in water. Over the years, I don’t know how many capable prisoners were involved in the village of Chai Daguanren, and Chai Jin’s reputation resounded throughout the world. All heroes from the north knew the name of Chai Daguanren.

In a gorgeously decorated side hall, Chai Jin picked up a blue and white jade tea cup, slowly reflected it, and said calmly: "If you have something to do, just say it."

The next man wore light green silk brocade outfit, his eyes were vivid and he looked very smart. "It's easier to stay in Daming, and Mr. Lu asked if our business was slow for the time being?"

Chai Jin frowned: "Have you arrived?"

The man replied, "I'm afraid it's time to arrive in the next few days."

Chai Jin nodded: "I have heard of the name of the noble king for a long time. I don't know if I really have that ability." He sneered, looking very disdainful, "Mr. Lu is too careful, go and reply, just say what I said, Chai Jin said, I have me, so don't worry!"

The man replied. Chai Jin said again: "Please talk to Mr. Ximen." The man bowed and left.

Soon, the door of the side hall sounded and a white-faced scholar came in. He was so handsome that he was born. However, a piece of golden handwriting was burned from his left cheek, which showed that he had been exiled.

When Chai Jin saw the visitor, he looked up and smiled and said, "Sir, please sit down!"

The scribe sued him and sat down at the bottom. "The great official called the villain? I don't know what happened?"

Chai Jin said: "Since Mr. entered my village, he helped my boss, and Chai Jin was very grateful."

The scholar dared not dare to do so, and Chai Jin continued: "In a few days, the rent of the village in the east will need a gentleman to go there and make a clear statement in advance so that the tenants will not make noise after the autumn."

The scribe nodded slightly: "It's all for the villain."

Chai Jin stood up and said, "That's how much Mr. Chai Jin has something to do..." The scribe hurriedly stood up and said goodbye.

The scholar left the side hall. The servants outside bowed and greeted him. This was the most favored celebrity in front of the great official. Who dared not to curry favor with him? The scholar responded noddedly, walked through the corridor, and arrived at a secluded place. The scholar stood up, sighed, and looked south involuntarily, his eyes were full of viciousness: "Yanggu! Wuda! I will come back!"

Needless to say, the scholar was Ximen Qing. After being exiled to Cangzhou, Ximen Qing heard that Chai Jin was famous and went to Chai Jin for a lot of trouble. Ximen Qing had some tricks in doing business. In addition, he knew the worldly ways and gradually became Chai Jin's confidant and was responsible for managing all the obvious business of the Chai family. Ximen Qing did not disappoint Chai Jin, but managed the business in an orderly manner and was appreciated by Chai Jin. A few days ago, Chai Jin took charge and married a rich widow Meng Yulou. Meng Yulou was originally the head of cloth dealer Yang. Yang died in a foreign land and left a lot of money. Now it has all been under the name of Ximen Qing.

Although Ximen Qing was in Cangzhou for a while and his life was very exciting, he always thought about how to return to Yanggu to rectify Wuda. Now that he has the support of Chai Da official, Xiaoxiao Wuda is very capable, but his sentence is not over and he cannot return to Yanggu. In Chai Da official in Cangzhou prison camp, he can get sick and he can do whatever he wants. If he returns to Yanggu, he will be discovered by the locals, and will inevitably have an accident.

The more he could not return to Yanggu, the more hatred Ximen Qing felt in his heart. Every day he thought about it, he gritted his teeth, counted the days day by day, just waiting for his return to Yanggu to be proud.

Daming Prefecture has a population of hundreds of thousands, the Song Dynasty has a concentrated population, Bianjing has a population of over one million and a population of over 200,000, and there are six prefectures. Daming Prefecture is one of them. It has a large population, natural commerce is prosperous, with shops and pedestrians, and a peaceful and prosperous era.

The Daming Prefecture Government Office is located in a sparsely populated area in the east of the city. Perhaps it is shocked by the pressure here, and the shops in the east of the city are sparse, which is much worse than the south city and north city.

In the back hall of the government office, Wu Zhi and a few girls were chatting and laughing, and they were having fun. Qianyezi sat in Jinlian's arms, pricking her ears and listening to the few people's words. I don't know if she could understand. Jinlian saw Qianyezi that day, but she couldn't like it. Qianyezi also liked this gentle and beautiful fairy. When she went to learn to talk to Xu Jing, she was always tired of being by Jinlian's side.

Jinlian combed Qianyezi's black hair with her hands and smiled: "Little Yezi is probably better than us when she grows up..."

Qi Qiao went over and pinched Qianyezi's little face, "The little girl must be fascinated by the fact that she grew up!"

Qianyezi knocked Qiqiao's hand down with anger and turned her head to ignore her. Among the four Golden Lotus Girls, Qianyezi somehow just had something to do with Qiqiao. Perhaps because Qiqiao and Wu Zhi were too intimate, the little girl hated the house and the house, and even hated Qiqiao. She was the one who loved to tease her and often made Qianyezi cry anxiously.

Qi Qiao was bored, but she didn't care. She laughed and grabbed Qianyezi's little ear. Before Qianyezi got angry at her, she jumped back to the seat.

Qianyezi glared at her fiercely. "Bad man!"

Everyone laughed, Jinlian kissed Qianyezi's face and said to Qiqiao: "My sister is so naughty, she is not as quiet as Xiaoyezi."

Qiqiao said dissatisfiedly: "With Xiaoyezi, my sister doesn't care about me anymore. Qiqiao will be quiet in the future!"

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Naughty is the true nature, don't listen to your elder sister..."

Jinlian smiled and looked at Wu Zhi: "My husband is partial, but Qi Qiao is now my husband's dear. Jinlian can't even say anything."

Qi Qiao laughed, and even though she knew Jinlian was joking, she still felt sweet in her heart.

Wu Zhi said, "I haven't finished talking yet. Don't listen to your elder sister. It's your strength to lift up the tiles in the room. If you calm down, it will be scary!"

The girls laughed sweetly, and Qiqiao looked at Wu Zhi with anger and said, "Don't touch me tonight!" The laughter stopped abruptly. Then there was a burst of laughter, making Wu Zhi smile red and embarrassed. The girls were used to Qiqiao's lines, and they no longer cared about her astonishing words, and they only felt funny. But in front of Xuan Jing and Zhu'er, Wu Zhi couldn't erase his face.

Just as I was embarrassed, I suddenly heard "dong, dong, dong..." and a drum sounded.

Wu Zhi frowned: "Who is beating the drum in broad daylight? You dare to come to the government office to make noise. Is there no king's law?"

Qiqiao said, "I'm going to see it! Teach these idle people a lesson!" She was happy and hadn't acted for a long time, so she couldn't help but itchy at this time. Xuan Jing hurriedly grabbed her: "The teacher is now a local official, so you can't help but be safe, don't cause trouble!"

Jinlian also said: "Yes, my husband is the one who stays behind Daming. All officials of Daming Mansion can no longer hurt people as before!" I remembered that Wu Da, who used bricks to beat up the slut, became a senior official in one place, managing millions of people... I didn't feel funny in my heart, my husband, are you doing well?

As they spoke, the drums became louder and louder, and all the women covered their ears.

Wu Zhi frowned: "Where are the messes coming from? Are you trying to show off Wu?" Teng stood up. "I'll go and take a look!"

"Master..." Zhu'er called softly, and wanted to speak but stopped.

Wu Zhi said, "What's the matter? Tell me quickly! The master is in a hurry!"

Zhu'er said timidly: "Zhu'er heard that people want to beat drums when complaining, which is also called beating drums and making injustice. The master is a famous prefect. Is there someone outside beating drums in front of the lobby?"

Wu Zhi said "Ah!" and then he remembered that he is now a famous garrison and prefect, who is on horseback and in charge of the army and dismounted. He had been to the lobby before, but he had no personal experience. How could he think of the drum sounds that someone was complaining about in front of the hall?

Jinlian and several girls smiled, and Qiqiao said with a smile: "My brother-in-law is a confused official at first sight. He will teach the people a lesson and call for justice on the first day..."

Wu Zhi snorted, ignored her, and praised Zhu'er and said, "Zhu'er is smart. I dare to buy you some good things tomorrow!" As he said that, he hurried out.

Zhu'er was praised by Wu Zhi, and a glimmer of joy flashed in her eyes. Qi Qiao came over to imitate Wu Zhi and said in a rough voice: "Zhu'er is smart. I dare to love you tomorrow!" Zhu'er was embarrassed and lowered her head without saying a word.

Xuan Jing sighed helplessly. The person who became a relative was still so naughty. I don’t know when Qiqiao will grow up.

Jinlian looked at the sky, and bit Qianyezi's little nose and smiled and said, "It's time for Zhu'er and Xiaoyezi to go to the study."

After Wu Zhi left Beijing, Xu Jing recommended one of his students, Zhu'er and Qianyezi. His student had no fame and could take up his post with Wu Zhi, and Wu Zhi happily agreed.

Zhu'er took Qianyezi's hand and left. Qiqiao suddenly frowned: "Sister Jinlian, I think that little white face is not a good thing!" Qiqiao had met Xu Jing's student and called him "the little white face".

Jinlian and Xuanjing are not like Qiqiao, and they have never met Xu Jing's students. These days, they have been listening to Qiqiao's nagging. Jinlian smiled and said, "Why did Mr. Qin mess with her sister?"

Qi Qiao curled her lips and said disdainfully: "Is he worthy of provoking me?"

Xuan Jing asked, "Then why do you say that they are not good people?"

Qi Qiao said: "I have a bad eye and I keep turning around. I am not a good person! It would be better if I don't want him to teach Zhu'er. It's better for me to take action and ensure that I teach Zhu'er!"

Jinlian and Xuan Jing were originally thinking silently when they heard Qiqiao's previous words, but when they heard Qiqiao's last words, they couldn't help but look at each other and smiled and shook their heads. After all, Qiqiao just wanted to harm Zhu'er.

In the lobby of the government office, Wu Zhi sat upright, purple official uniforms, black official hat, and two long wings separated from each other, adding a bit of majesty. Amid the "magnificent" sounds of the yamen runners on both sides, the people who were crying for injustice outside the hall were brought up.

Wu Zhi slapped the wooden table like a look and shouted, "Who is kneeling in the hall? What kind of injustice?" He felt a sense of satisfaction. I wonder if there will be a legend of "Wu Qingtian" in the future, and if anyone will write "Wu Gong Case".

"The villain Zhang Sanwa, there is no grievance!" The man in the hall raised his head and looked at Wu Zhi eagerly, making Wu Zhi feel thrilled. Isn't this "comrade"?

After hearing him say "there is no grievance", Wu Zhiqi said: "There is no grievance. Why did you beat the drum?"

Zhang Sanwa looked at Wu Zhi a few more times and bowed his head and said, "The villain has long admired the noble king's name and often regretted not being able to see the noble king! He heard that the noble king knew the Daming Mansion, the villain was overjoyed. Today he beat the drum just to see the noble king for a thousand years. Now the villain has fulfilled his long-cherished wish and has no other request! Please ask the noble king to punish the people's crimes!"

After hearing Sanwa's "generous remarks", Wu Zhi was speechless for a long time. He really wanted to go down and kick him a few times. He beat the drums randomly and disturbed himself. Isn't this asking for a kick?

I remembered that I didn’t understand the laws of the Song Dynasty and really didn’t know how to punish me? I sighed. It seems that I have been busy these days and I have to take advantage of the loopholes to study the laws of the Song Dynasty! I looked at Han Tong behind the table next to me, “Judge Han Tong. How should this person be convicted according to the laws?”

Judge Han Tong stood up and said respectfully: "Reply to the prince, this person can disturb the court's punishment, and there will be no punishment for the prince, and it will be decided by the prince!"

Wu Zhi nodded. Han Tong was smart, and he had to decide the number of battles. The law of the Song Dynasty was so easy to get rid of. He picked up the table wood and really wanted to ask everyone to pull him out of the thirty rods. Thinking about it, he had no malice. He just wanted to see himself. He thought for a moment and said, "I miss you for the first time! I have five rods on the ridge. If there is a next time, I will never let you go!"

Zhang Sanwa kowtowed: "Thank you for your kindness!" He was tortured happily, which made Wu Zhi feel depressed. There are "star-chasing people" in this era? Have you become a star?

Wu Zhi was about to leave the house, but suddenly heard the drums outside, so he had no choice but to sit down and bring the person up, called Li Siyou. His words were exactly the same as Zhang Sanwa, and there was no injustice. He just wanted to see the noble king. Wu Zhi was angry and was not polite. After Li Siyou was taken down, another person came to call for injustice. Wu Zhi was angry and had a thirty spine stick. He sent a command to block the hall without any sings. Unexpectedly, even the thirty spine stick could not suppress the "star-chasing clan" craze. Someone brought Songjie into the hall. After entering the hall, he said that the sings were fake, which made Wu Zhi so angry that he almost vomited blood. He ordered people to close the gate of the government office and walked back to the back hall in depressed manner.

In the back hall, the three girls of the orioles, Jinlian, Qiqiao, and Xuanjing sat around the table, spread the table with brocade silk satin, each holding a few cards in his hand, and chatting and making fun of each other.

Wu Zhi came in with a sad face. The rise of girls playing was ignored. Jing was staring at the Jinxiu screen and was in a daze. Jin Lian looked up and saw Wu Zhi feel depressed. She looked at the picture of the lady on the screen and was stunned. She hurriedly put down the cards in her hand, "Why are you worried?"

Qi Qiao and Xuan Jing also looked over with concern. Wu Zhi sighed, walked to the table and sat down, and told the three girls about what they were today. After hearing this, the three girls couldn't help laughing. Jin Lian said, "It's good that my husband is famous. If he continues like this, it will delay my husband's business!"

Wu Zhi spread his hands: "Who said no? This prefect was so depressed that he felt like a monkey in the zoo."

"Zoo?" The three girls looked at each other.

Wu Zhi coughed a few times, "This... I'm going to build a garden to catch some rare beasts for people to watch, and charge a fee from it, called the 'zoo'."

Jinlian whispered: "Although my husband has a good idea, he is not a waste of money. How can a rare beast be estimated with silver?"

Wu Zhi was just a lie, but when he heard Jinlian say it, he naturally raised the Shunfeng flag. "Since Jinlian thinks it is inappropriate, just go down to this matter. When I didn't say it, haha."

Jinlian didn't expect that the guild, who had always been very opinionated, would change his mind after hearing his words. He was panicked and said repeatedly: "If my husband thinks this is feasible, just do it. Jinlian doesn't know anything and just say it casually."

Wu Zhi was determined: "Since Jinlian said it was not possible, then it would not work! It would not work!"

Jinlian's heart was as sweet as eating honey. If Qi Qiao and Xuan Jing were not there, she would have rushed into Wu Zhi's arms immediately. Qi Qiao pouted and pulled the brocade on the table hard. She felt that her brother-in-law was too partial, so why hadn't she heard her before?

Seeing Qiqiao get angry, Wu Zhi was secretly amused and smiled at Qiqiao, "Qiqiao, you are the smartest. Help me come up with an idea, how to get rid of the predicament in front of me, so that the people of Daming Palace will be more at ease!"

Qiqiao immediately smiled happily and said with a smile: "Let me think about it..." Mei Zizi tilted her head and helped Wu Zhi find a way.

Xuan Jing looked at Qiqiao with amusement, and suddenly felt lonely in her heart. She felt like an outsider. Whether she laughed or made a fuss, she was the real family, and she seemed so redundant at this time.

"It's time to wear a mask!" Qi Qiao said after thinking for a while.

Jinlian Qi said: "What mask?" She didn't know the combination of three masks in the bloody storm.

Qi Qiao smiled and said, "It's nothing. Help your brother-in-law make a mask. Wouldn't it be enough to put it on? Those idle people won't come to clamor again if they don't see their brother-in-law, so they will naturally not come to clamor again." They were slightly proud in their hearts. This was the little secret between brother-in-law and himself and Sister Xuanjing. Sister Jinlian didn't know, hehe.

Wu Zhi shook his head and said, "Where are you wearing a mask to go to the court? Isn't this a nonsense?"
To be continued...
