Guests Coming Again - C25
Nie Laihong drove his horse forward. He cupped his hands and said, “We are from the Dragon Gate Security Office. Naturally, we have an ultimatum to clear this path. Little Fishy, quickly take out your clearing edict and let everyone take a look! ”
A person came out of the escort office with a piece of paper in his hand.
Not only did that person give Guan Wen money, he also gave three taels of silver to the officials as he passed by them. He whispered, “Consider this as my Dragon Gate Escort Office buying wine for the officials to drink. I hope they will not mind the courtesy.”
When Cardinal saw his actions, he felt disdain in his heart. The corridor was just a corridor. Since he had already passed the first round of instructions, why did he need to do something like bribing?
He walked past the city gates and entered Yan City by himself. Yan City was indeed a big city with a wide road and all the surrounding shops. However, under the orders of Nie Laihong, the Dragon Gate Escort Office headed straight for the city’s yamen.
When Nie Laihong arrived at the yamen, it was already night. It was reasonable that there was no one there to guard the yamen. However, Nie Laihong was anxious to see the yamen people. After all, he had to settle matters with the government before he could relax.
He alighted from his horse and went to the yamen, where he rang the gong for injustice.
“Dong Dong Dong”, “Dong Dong Dong”, a few ear-splitting drumbeats, the yamen seemed to have come alive.
Nie Laihong opened the yamen’s door and walked in.
The yamen beat the drum to cry out injustice. Originally, it was meant to sound out injustice on behalf of the common people. However, at some point, the drum rang out and was about to pay. If the drum was struck without reason, it would also be a heavy crime.
Nie Laihong was kneeling respectfully in the court.
There was an Elder dressed in a green robe with a brush and ink stone in his hand, and behind him was an Elder dressed in a blue robe.
He shouted, “Who are you and what do you want?”
Nie Laihong was neither humble nor arrogant. He said, “My lord, no one can tell me, but I have a secret to tell.”
That Zhi Prefecture was clearly angry, “Tell me the secret? “Tell me what kind of secret it is.”
Nie Laihong said, “County Magistrate, please allow this little one to approach you and speak. Of course, the secret cannot be revealed to the public.”
Although that county leader was angry, it was not good to leave any evidence in the court. Although it was only a small county, there were still many people who wanted this chair.
It was not easy to sit in an official’s chair, it was not easy to get up, and it was not easy to sit down again after getting up.
It was as if that person wanted to maintain his poise and show that he loved the people like children.
He said, “Then come up and tell me in front of me.”
Nie Laihong immediately said, “My lord, you are wise.”
Then she stepped forward and whispered in his ear.
Even the Grand Master beside him didn’t hear a word.
“Someone, call Constable Pan over!”
A short while later, a person arrived. He was not tall, but he was handsome and wore a constable’s robe. His bearing was extraordinary, and his face was rather thin. His eyebrows were like stars, and his eyes were bright and full of spirit.
He cupped his hands and said, “My lord, what is it? Someone is breaking the law and wants to arrest him.”
The County Magistrate continued, “Have you seen the people in the hall yet? We have important arrangements for you, and the people in the hall have some goods for you. Take good care of them, and don’t neglect your duty. If you lose something, I’m asking for you!”
The constable silently cursed, “If I don’t capture the murderer and pursue the murder, then why should I guard the goods for you?”
However, he still cupped his hands and said: “I will live up to the County Magistrate’s expectations. I will do my best to ensure that the goods are intact!”
Seeing this, Nie Laihong also felt relieved.
With the help of the officials, it would be much easier for him to rest. At least he would not have to guard the escort at all times, and he would not have to stay in the tavern.
When Nie Laihong saw that the constable had agreed to this matter, he was overjoyed. Seeing that the constable was quick, had an outstanding demeanor and an extraordinary bearing, he believed that the constable was a good man.
Nie Laihong was waiting in the main hall for a moment. The constable had already arrived in the main hall with more than ten people with him.
“Listen to him for the next few days,” said the county magistrate. “As long as the goods are not lost and the matter is settled, I will reward and punish him!”
He originally wanted to say that everyone would be rewarded with 30 taels of silver, but above the court, if someone brought up the topic, it would not be good for him, so he changed his tone and said, “I will reward and punish them. Protect the goods well and when you return, you will all have to speak your mind. Retreat!”
Nie Laihong cupped his hands and left the hall.
The constable, who was standing behind Nie Laihong, brought ten or so people with him as he retreated.
After exiting the yamen, he looked at the people from the escort company and saw that there were also several carts of goods.
The constable knew very well that the magistrate would be so kind. If it wasn’t wealth, then it was just that the goods had a huge background. Otherwise, if it was ordinary goods, would the county magistrate turn a blind eye to you?
Anyone who could be a constable had brains.
If you don’t want to say that he is quick thinking, he can do it.
Being able to become a constable with fast speed wasn’t just a matter of your agility. You should also be able to observe the situation and have good evidence of your progress.
Nie Laihong smiled and said, “Don’t be too reserved, this constable. I am the Dragon Gate Escort Office’s Nie Laihong. The first time I took a dart, I was attacked by a group of criminals. Now that everyone is seriously injured, I have no choice but to come up with this plan. Brother, please take responsibility.”
Then, he continued, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t know me or not. I don’t even care about the name of the Dragon Gate Escort Office. Haha, I, Nie Laihong, have never had anyone to admire. However, you can be considered one of them. Brother Pan, for the sake of our people, you have worked hard. You are as strong in martial arts as Pan An, and you are as handsome as a god. “Hmm, there are also many young ladies who have fallen for you and would rather not marry Pan Ziyu. They truly envious me.”
The constable turned to Nie Laihong and said, “You must be joking, Brother Nie. It’s just a rumor spreading around, not enough is enough.”
Seeing that he wasn’t willing to say more, Nie Laihong didn’t ask any further questions.
His surname was Pan, and his name was Tao.
In the martial arts world, everyone praised Yan City’s divine capture.
For the evil Mo, Yan City, Yan City constables faster.
The constable was fast and tall, and all the bandits bent over.
Eliminate pests for the people, and eliminate evil dragons.
The constable was the valiant god, and the constable’s name was Pan Tao.
“As long as Constable Pan takes action this time, we brothers can rest at ease. We can’t lose anything from the escort company of the Longmen Escort Office.”
Afterwards, they found an inn to stay at. The waiter was feeding the horses in the stables, which had traveled quite a distance and were also somewhat tired. This rest was necessary to escort the escort to Luoyang City and was also where everyone healed.
Nie Laihong gave the order to the extremely silent escort and to Jane who was watching over the escort. The rest of the escort went into the store to rest and heal their wounds.
In fact, there was only one reason why Nie Laihong had been so respectful to Pan Tao and Pan Ziyu. He had heard that a tragedy had occurred in Yan City, and no one dared to ask or interfere with it.
At this time, a constable appeared out of nowhere and arrested twelve criminals, among them were a few tyrannical disciples who colluded with the government.
However, he refused to budge an inch as he said, “The laws of this world are strict. The laws of Yan City are reasonable. Are you sure you still want to ask?”
The twelve men were all beheaded. No one knew how he did it, but the result was that both the magistrate and the mayor listened to his advice and punished the evildoers.
