Chapter 160 The Solution (Part 4)
The yamen runners also understood that they immediately pounded the sticks in their hands and said "magnificent" loudly.
This is indeed very effective. Although the brothel women are fierce, they dare not act rashly and answer them honestly.
The middle-aged man was quite satisfied and then began to ask in detail about "screaming in the street" what he said was extremely solemn, which made Hong Ya below smile a little. When she was covering her mouth and laughing secretly, she suddenly noticed something and immediately became a little strange.
There was a private whisper on the left side. Hong Ya pricked up her ears but was interrupted by the noise in the hall. She frowned slightly and moved gently to the left. Then she jumped into the curtain while the people in the hall were not paying attention.
"You have made a big mistake!" The first thing Hong Ya said when she stood there was that she was slightly stunned. The old voice was that the old man who was very angry at Liuyi Lane because of the prostitutes fighting each other. He was walking with Liu Zhongwu at that time and seemed to be a high-ranking official.
"Mr. Li, you want to save me!" A middle-aged voice came over and then heard a low snarling sound that made Hong Ya feel moved. The voice was Liu Zhongwu. He did not command the whole city to search, but wasn't he here trying to discuss something?
In fact, Liu Zhongwu came over to discuss something. He was woken up by the soldiers last night and immediately broke into cold sweat when he learned that the granary had caught fire. He ran over without even putting on his clothes. However, because the fire was too strong, they would not be able to extinguish him for a while, while ordering people to put out the fire and sending people to stabilize the morale of the army.
He was born in the army and naturally knew that he could not panic, so he calmed down the morale of the army and let the soldiers guard strictly, but unexpectedly there was a second fire. However, the granary was reacting very quickly, and finally saw those who set fire and killed two people on the spot and caught three people.
However, the fire caused a lot of damage to the granary. Although Liu Zhongwu reacted very quickly, four out of ten had turned into black charcoal. This made Liu Zhongwu very nervous and had to catch the three people and interrogate them overnight. Then he began to stabilize the people of Yangzhou to avoid any news spreading.
But this matter was too big and he didn't dare to hide it for a long time. If the matter could not be properly resolved, it would be a loss of mind. He immediately wanted to find Lord Li who came from the court.
But then he knew that Lord Li ran to the Yangzhou yamen and heard the trial. He came over to meet him without caring about anything, and shouted in panic, "Sir, please save me." This old man was shocked.
Hong Ya was standing under the curtain at this time, but the sound she heard was too small. She pondered for a moment and then slowly walked towards the left.
"I have told you to be cautious for a long time! But I didn't expect you to take my words as if you were in front of me!" The Lord Li snorted coldly: "Now that this is the case, how can you face the Xuanfu Envoy!"
Liu Zhongwu just begged him to know that if he couldn't ask for this adult, then there would really be no one to protect himself.
"Okay, stand up quickly." The Lord Li frowned and said, "How can you stand up and talk like this as a general?"
Liu Zhongwu immediately saw hope and begged for a while. Lord Li was indeed a little unbearable and had to nod, saying, "I can only spread more words among my colleagues in the censorship, or can use the position of a person who can speak out. But I can't do anything to the side of the Xuanfu envoy. You have to find ways to explain to him.
"Thank you for helping me, thank you for helping me!" Liu Zhongwu immediately said: "I will never forget my kindness for the rest of my life."
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "Don't thank me for now that I must catch those who ignite the fire, otherwise I can't tell you the truth in the court!"
Liu Zhongwu was stunned and then said softly: "Sir, we have already caught three of those who ignite the fire."
"Catch it?" Lord Li was slightly surprised and then looked at Liu Zhongwu and said, "How did you catch them?"
"These people were unable to escape after igniting the fire, so they were caught by my subordinates." Liu Zhongwu explained for a moment and then said: "But they are obviously just small minions. I am now searching for the retaliatory criminals in the city. I believe it will not take long to catch them."
Lord Li nodded and said, "That's great, I will report a book tonight to explain this matter first. So that the courts will not talk too much and say something bad to you."
Liu Zhongwu said excitedly: "My mercy is so kind that I will be heartbroken!"
The Lord Li waved his hand and sighed heavily and said, "As soon as you come, I'm not in the mood to hear those people. How are you doing the trial?"
"Sir, I have brought them. Do you want to meet them?" Liu Zhongwu said carefully. He knew that the old man valued the most. So he had to let him see the person he caught. He didn't wait for the old man to reply and said directly to the outside. Then a few people came in.
Hong Ya blinked and looked at this side with a sneer, but she then shrank vigilantly and looked towards the court.
"Since you have already admitted this, sign and seal it quickly." The person sitting in the hall waved his hand as if he was extremely tired and said, "I think you are all first offenders and each person beats ten big boards. You must remember the etiquette. Don't speak up and fight on the streets. Do you remember?"
A lot of chirping sounds below made the people in the hall quite impatient, waved their hands directly to the yamen runners to pull them out and then said loudly: "Get out!"
Hong Ya's heart jumped. She thought about it and immediately walked towards the left with her body lightly but heard the old man say, "Is it these people?"
Liu Zhongwu nodded and said, "That's right, these are the people."
"Did you punish them severely?" The old man looked at these people and turned to Liu Zhongwu, but then said: "Yes, you must use strict laws to implement such evil people. You must seize the mastermind behind the scenes to see if they were the thieves?"
