Chapter 805 Is there a way to rule?

Hearing the yamen runner asked four questions in one breath, Zhang Huangyan smiled and said, "We are the comrades in Huang Tuozi's army. When we heard that Huang Tuozi was in trouble, we came to visit him. Huang Tuozi was already in prison and his son was the only one in the family. I want to come and visit him... I would like to ask my brother to tell you."

The man calmed down and said, "Huang Tuozi's son really lives here, but there is no one inside. I want to come and play, and I don't know where the wilderness is."

Wu Zheng pointed to the basket in the man's hand and asked, "Well, is this..."

The man said, "I am a runner of Xiushui County. I came here to deliver food to Huang Tuozi's son at the order of the magistrate."

Wu Zheng was stunned, oh, it turns out that Xiushui County Government is so humane?

I was also thinking about Pan, Huang Tuozi died one by one and the other was in prison, and no one took care of the children.

Thinking of this, Wu Zheng nodded at Zhang Huangyan.

Zhang Huangyan also nodded slightly. This is indeed a good official.

Wu Zhengyi bowed and said, "It turns out that he is the big brother."

The yamen runner looked at the three people and he also realized that the three people in front of him looked like ordinary people, at least they had to be a soldier like Huang Tuozi, and maybe they still have military positions.

So, you're polite, "If you just want to visit the children of your former comrades, just wait here, and the children will have to come back sooner or later."

Wu Zheng said: "I'll ask my brother, can the yamen allow visits to Huang Tuozi?"

The yamen runner shook his head and said, "Huang Tuozi committed a serious crime. Except for his son, the yamen will not allow anyone to visit him."

Wu Zheng winked at Zhang Huangyan. Zhang Huangyan took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and stuffed it into the yamen runner's hand. "I'll send you a big brother to make it easier. We are also a comrade in the army. I just want to visit you, but you have no other intentions."

The yamen runner shrank his hands and refused as if he was electrocuted, "If you really want to visit me, you should go to the yamen to find the magistrate... and say goodbye."

He put the basket in his hand into the door and rushed away.

Wu Zheng was indeed surprised, "Brother Xuanzhu, it seems that the magistrate of Xiushui is well-off. This piece of silver is enough for four or five taels?"

Zhang Huangyan smiled and said, "If you can get the praise of the prince, it seems that the magistrate of Xiushui will be promoted."

Wu Zheng laughed and said, "Huh... I don't mean to interfere in government affairs."

Zhang Huangyan stopped answering and opened the gauze on the basket. Inside were two palms, two duck eggs and a plate of pickles.

Wu Zheng nodded and said, "It seems that he is sincere."

Zhang Huangyan also agrees.

At this moment, Jiang Quanyi suddenly said at the corner: "Prince...he is back!"

Wu Zheng and Zhang Huangyan ran over quickly.

The child turned around and fled as soon as he saw three people.

Wu Zheng shouted, "Stop him."

Jiang Quanyi rushed out like an arrow, hugged the child, and then half-dragged him to Wu Zheng.

Wu Zheng said: "Don't be afraid, I'll buy you some delicious food later."

The child slowly stopped struggling.

Wu Zheng signaled Jiang Quanyi to let him go, then pulled him to the door of the pigpen, pointed to the basket, and said to the child: "This is what the yamen runners from the yamen just now..."

Unexpectedly, the child rushed in, picked up the basket, and threw it out.

Wu Zheng and Zhang Huangyan looked at each other.

"Child, our father and we are comrades in the army, and we are like brothers. Today, we just want to see you... Can you tell me what your name is?"

The child said in a muffled voice: "Are you really with my father?"

Wu Zhengying said: "Of course it's true. This is Lord Jiang, and it's the Shangguan in your father's army."

Jiang Quanyi squatted down, touched the child's head and said, "Your father followed me from Yizhen to Haimen, and then returned to Jiaxing, fight thousands of miles away, share life and death, you can trust us."

The child looked at the three of them and finally said, "My name is Huangpo."

Wu Zheng also squatted down and asked with a smile: "Can you tell me why you throw away that basket of food?"

Huang Po said in a muffled voice: "They hurt my father...I don't eat their food."

Wu Zheng asked in surprise: "Who are they?"

Huangpo Road: "People in the yamen."

Zhang Huangyan asked strangely: "Huangpo, your father should naturally be punished if he did something wrong. How could it be that the people in the yamen who harmed your father?"

Huang Po said anxiously: "My father only killed Zheng Rong and my mother, but not the rest of the Zheng family. It was someone in the yamen who said that my father killed Zheng Rong's whole family..."

Wu Zheng, Zhang Huangyan, and Jiang Wanquan were stunned.

Zhang Huangyan asked anxiously: "Huangpo, how did you know that your father only killed Zheng Rong and your mother, but not the other three members of the Zheng family?"

Huang Po replied: "That day, when my father came home, he saw that Aye was dead, and Zheng Rong took the yard, so he went to sue the official... My father asked me to stay at home and wait for him to come back. Later, when my father came back, he looked very angry. When it was dark, my father and I didn't even eat... I was afraid and didn't dare to talk to my father, so I squatted there..."

Huang Po pointed to a corner of the pigpen and said, "Later, I fell asleep... But later I was woken up by a strange sound. When I opened my eyes, I saw my father sharpening the knife... I was afraid, so I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep. After a while, my father came over to cover me with a piece of clothes and went out... I wanted to follow my father, so I followed quietly... Later, I saw my father open the door of the Zheng family with a knife..."

Zhang Huangyan said: "It should have been midnight at that time. It was so dark. How could you see clearly that your father opened the Zheng family's door with a knife?"

Huang Po replied: "There are two lanterns hanging at the gate of the Zheng family, which is very bright."

Wu Zheng said in a harmonious voice: "Continue to talk, then what?"

"Then my father came in. I didn't dare to follow in, so I secretly watched at the door."

Zhang Huangyan asked again: "Then you didn't see your father killing someone in there?"

Huangpo nodded.

Zhang Huangyan frowned and said, "How did you know that your father only killed two people and did not kill the rest of the Zheng family?"

Huang Po cried in a hurry: "Woo... my father just didn't kill anyone else."

Wu Zheng glared at Zhang Huangyan and comforted Huang Po: "Child, don't worry, just say what you know and what you saw..."

"I really saw it." Huang Po shouted while crying.

"What did you see?" Wu Zheng asked.

"I saw my dad running out... three people were chasing my dad behind him."

Zhang Huangyan said: "It's so dark, can you see clearly that it's Zheng Rong's parents?"

"The lights inside were lit at that time, but I didn't see clearly... but I saw Zheng Rong's son."

"You mean one of the three people chasing your father is Zheng Rong's son?"

"Well... Zheng Youcai is a few years older than me. When he plays on weekdays, he always bullies me, and I recognize him."

Wu Zheng and Zhang Huangyan were a little surprised.
