"Poof!" The man who had been packing wonton suddenly tightened his hand. The skin of wonton, which was as thin as rice paper, immediately touched it. The meat burst out of it, and the original busy stall was quiet.
Before that man must be calm, reluctantly said with a smile: "poor Lord, this is a joke, who takes tea to make stuffing."
"Others don't, but you have a lot." Before his words were heard, the black faced yamen servant suddenly got into trouble. He grabbed the man's hand and knocked on the pulse of the latter tightly with his thumb. The man couldn't bear it. As soon as his hand was loosened, a small paper bag fell out of his palm. The man's face suddenly changed. Another man rushed to take the paper bag. However, without waiting for him to get close, a bright steel knife was across his neck, which made him angry At the same time, ten yamen messengers rushed out of the darkness and surrounded them.
the guys looked at them with a pale face, "you What do you want to do? "
"For what?" The black faced yamen picked up the paper bag on the ground and opened it. It was tea. He said with a smile, "of course, I'll talk to you about the tea stuffing." Then he said, "come on, catch them all!"
"This is It's my own tea. I don't break the law. Why do you arrest us? "
"Drink for yourself?" The black faced yamen pulled open the dark space next to him, and there were dozens of bags of the same tea, "do you want to drink so much alone? More about... " He smelled a mouthful of fragrant tea and said in a cool voice, "how can I smell like the tea sold by Zhao family before?"
The man's face became more and more ugly. "You Don't talk nonsense
"Whether I'm talking nonsense or you're lying, I'll soon know." The black faced yamen didn't know where to find a rope to tie him with another man.
The other yamen messengers also took the diners. Of course, the diners were not happy, but they were afraid of the knife in Yamen Messengers' hands and did not dare to resist. After tying them up, the Yamen began to search them, and found a small bag of tea from them, without exception.
The black faced yamen looked at the tea leaves piled up on the table and said with a sneer, "I'll say they look so familiar. It's really you."
The man gritted his teeth and said, "it's just selling some tea privately. As for arousing the masses, isn't it?"
"If it's ordinary tea, of course not, but Zhao's tea..." The black faced yamen servant squatted down and said with gloomy eyes: "boy, your time of death is up!"
The man was cold all over and said reluctantly, "aren't all Zhao shops sealed by you? How can I get them?"
"Yes or no, it will soon be known." At this point, the black faced squatter squatted down, and whispered to his friends, "you are clever enough to hide the tea in Town God's Temple. No wonder you can't find it."
This time, the guy was really scared to death, "you How do you know? " He knew that such a question was tantamount to self accusation, but he couldn't help being surprised.
Black face Ya Cha straightens up and looks at him condescensively, "isn't that what you took me to?"
Man a Zheng, immediately understand come over, angrily way: "you follow me?"
With a cold smile, the black faced yamen servant got up and said to the other clerks, "take them all back to Yamen. Count the time. It's almost time for them to come back." Speaking of this, he showed a sudden look, and bowed his head and said, "I forgot to tell you that Jiang himself brought people to encircle and suppress Town God's Temple."
Hearing this, the two clerks, who were still lucky, suddenly fell to the ground. They didn't even have the strength to stand up. They were rudely dragged to the Hubu yamen by the Yamen clerk.
By the time they arrived, the lights of the Hubu yamen were as bright as day. Jiang Yue was already dressed in official clothes. Su Rong was sitting behind the case. The officers on both sides were holding water and fire sticks. The atmosphere was serious and depressing.
There were several shivering people kneeling down in the hall, and another one was standing. It was the housekeeper of Zhao's house, who was also surnamed Zhao. He was in his sixties, with a white beard, but he was still calm.
"Pa!" Jiang Yue slapped the hall wood heavily, which made the two men's legs soften. He knelt down in the hall immediately and couldn't speak clearly.
Jiang Yue said in a deep voice, "why don't you kneel when you see my official?"
Housekeeper Zhao sneered, "I'm a scholar of the former dynasty. According to the law of the court, I don't have to kneel in the court."
"It turned out to be a scholar." After saying this, Jiang Yue's face became colder and sharper. "Since he has read poetry, he should know how to distinguish right from wrong. You can follow Zhao Ji to do evil and harm the people. Do you know the crime?"
"My Lord, that's not true." Housekeeper Zhao arched his hand and said, "my master is engaged in a serious tea business. How can he not do evil or harm the people? But, my Lord, what's the reason for you to bring us here for no reason? "
"Good people?" Jiang Yue restrained his surging anger. "What have you done? I know in my heart. If you make a confession, I can handle it leniently. If you hide something, I will punish you severely."
Zhao steward, with a funny look, said, "what can a villain hide?" is he going to Town God's Temple to smell incense? I don't know which law is the rule, or... He stepped forward, and his face looked very gloomy under the flickering candlelight. "Did you violate your taboo? It's just that Jingzhao mansion is in charge of Jinling City. Although you are higher than Jingzhao's official position, you can't help overstepping your authority if you arrest people without authorization. Once you report to your majesty, I'm afraid your future will not be guaranteed. "The colder Jiang snorted, "as long as you can get rid of you, it doesn't matter if I don't protect you."
Housekeeper Zhao spread out his hand and said with a smile, "I'm afraid we're going to disappoint you. We are all first-class people, not to mention my master. This time, you really caught the wrong person and played the wrong prestige!"
Jiang Yue stared at him for a moment, got up and went to him, "housekeeper Zhao, right?"
"No, it's just a villain." Housekeeper Zhao arched his hand, but there was no respect on his face.
Jiang Yue nodded and said to the Yamen servant, "bring it up."
Soon, four and a half person high bags were dragged up, which were full of tea, including those found from the diners.
"these four bags of tea are all found in Town God's Temple. Do you want to say that it has nothing to do with you?"
Housekeeper Zhao said, "it's just tea. Even if it's a villain's, it's not against the law."
In Jiang Yue's eyes, he said, "so, do you admit it?"
Housekeeper Zhao hesitated and quickly said, "so what?"
"Good!" Jiang Yue nodded and said, "go and invite all the doctors in Jinling City. No one is allowed to pull."
