Chapter 319: Collusion between officials and bandits

Li Xuan's face was very pale, he was holding the wall with one hand and occasionally retching.

Li Yi believed that he was definitely not so cruel to the "Tiger Master" just to hoe the strong and support the weak. When his stomach became round after eating, he bore the brunt of the pungent smell and it was a good thing that he didn't spit out the gall.

That bastard, how many months has he not washed his feet?

"Young master, you can't fight, you can't fight!" The woman rushed out of the noodle stall with a look of panic on her face.

Li Yi looked at the woman, frowned and asked, "Why are there such rogue bullies in the capital? Doesn't the government care?"

"We can't fight, we really can't fight!" The woman looked panicked and said hurriedly: "You two gentlemen, you should leave here quickly. When the official comes, you won't be able to leave."

These bullies are just grabbing some copper coins. How can they compare with the government's methods? If they fall into the hands of those officials, it will be fatal!

Li Xuan's face was filled with anger, and he said coldly: "I really don't plan to leave today, but I want to see what they can do to me?"

Because the members of the royal family have a special status and every move represents the face of the royal family, the royal family has very strict restrictions on them and will never allow bullying of the common people. Otherwise, the impeachment memorials from the censors will fly like flakes. Go to the emperor's desk.

Of course, although you can't bully others, you can't be bullied by others. The most you can do to bully a kind-hearted royal child is a punishment, and bullying the royal family is not a serious crime - at most, it's just beheading.

Seeing the determined look of the young man in front of her, the woman's face became even more anxious. This noble man obviously came from an extraordinary family, but how could he be compared with that behemoth? She couldn't drag him down!

"You two, stop!"

Two loud shouts were heard not far away, and several patrol officers quickly ran towards this side.

Without the order of His Highness the Crown Prince, the two guards would not stop. The guy who offended the Crown Prince could still howl loudly, which was simply a humiliation to them. Thinking of this, the hands and feet of the two men were injured again. It took two more efforts.

"Who are these thugs? They dare to commit murder on the street. Stop it quickly, otherwise we won't be rude to you!" The leader was the policeman surnamed Song whom we had just seen. Before he could even come over, a classic saying from the policeman came out. Come over.

Clang!

Five detectives drew their swords and surrounded the two men.

"Stop." Li Xuan came over and said calmly.

The two guards stopped and looked back at the police officers who surrounded them.

"Who are you?" Detective Song knew that the man in front of him was the most important person in this group of people, so he looked at him and asked.

Li Xuan said coldly: "It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that this bully is doing evil on the street. As an official, why do you ignore it and let him bully this mother and son?"

When the policeman surnamed Song heard this, he felt extremely depressed. This mother was another nosy person.

If Wang Hu dared to do this to others, he would have been taken to the county government and had his legs broken. However, the He family's mother and son were not among those who had been ordered to turn a blind eye to their affairs. , the gangsters on this street all know that when they are short of money, they can come here to get it. As long as they don't go too far, the government won't do anything to them.

"Hmph, did your eye see them being bullied?" The detective surnamed Song also snorted and said, "I only saw you committing crimes on the street, and the impact was extremely bad. Come with us to the county government office."

Li Yi finally saw something different on the sidelines.

This group of detectives and the group of bullies lying on the ground were obviously targeting the mother and daughter, and they must have a lot of support.

In a place like the capital, everything you do is watched by countless pairs of eyes. When you see a young man coming out of a brothel on the street, he is either the only child of a prime minister's family or the heir of a young master's family.

If the agent surnamed Song was so arrogant towards everyone, he would definitely not be alive today.

But this time, he obviously made a mistake.

Song Captou didn't think he was mistaken.

The water in the capital city is very deep, unlike in other places, where a small policeman can run rampant in the countryside. In this place where nobles are everywhere, and anyone they pick up is a relative of the emperor, of course you have to be careful when doing things, otherwise you may not know where to go. The sky will be desolate.

Therefore, Agent Song knows very well those people who cannot be provoked. He even has a special booklet to write down the names of those people. He pays more attention to them on weekdays and knows their appearance.

Among these people, of course, the person in front of me is not included.

In fact, there were many people who were nosy like this in the past, but when he discovered that the county magistrate didn't even give the honor of a prince, he knew what kind of backers they had behind them.

"It's me who has caused you trouble..." The woman's face turned pale, and in the end, only a look of bitterness remained.

In fact, when the "Tiger Master" appeared at the noodle stall just now, many heads poked out from the shops on the street, secretly thinking that they had committed crimes. The lady of the He family didn't know who she had offended. The bullies in the whole street singled out her to bully her. It was really not easy for her to go through this process for so many years.

This time, she might not be able to keep the money she earned from selling noodles today.

However, things didn't go as usual.

Wang Hu was actually kicked away by the thin young master, and he was beaten and kicked like a dead dog. The police came, and the young master was in big trouble. There were people who tried to help the He family's wife in the past, but they ended up with the same fate. Very miserable.

"I really want to see, which direction does the gate of the county government in Beijing open to?" Li Xuan stopped the guard from revealing his identity, and said with interest, his arms folded.

The detectives did not treat the few people as ordinary people. After all, they did not take the county government seriously, so they must be people of status. They might not be able to provoke the man who caused trouble for the He family, but they could definitely provoke him, Captain Song.

So, such a strange scene appeared on the street.

A large group of people went towards the direction of the county government. The two young men in front were strolling in the garden, talking and laughing. The woman behind them was holding the little girl's hand, her face was pale, and several detectives followed behind, as if to escort them------

……

……

People often say that it is difficult to be an official in Beijing. Those who serve as officials in Beijing are all the best among the country's scholars, the real pillars of the country, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they bring honor to their ancestors.

Of course, this does not include the county magistrate in Beijing.

Although the county magistrate of Jingcheng is nominally a county magistrate, he is at least under the emperor's feet and has a high rank, equivalent to the prefect of another state, or even slightly better. However, no matter how high his rank is, it cannot cover up the embarrassing position of the county magistrate of Jingcheng.

The reason is very simple. Jingcheng is the capital of a country, the imperial city, and there are countless princes and nobles. From the street to the end of the street, you can meet several officials with higher ranks than the county magistrate.

Chen Yue is such a cowardly county magistrate. He is just over 40 years old and has a lot of white hair on his temples. It has been three years since he was promoted to the county magistrate of Jingcheng.

At this time, Chen Yue is worried about a case.

The son of the Duke of Zhao and the young master of the Duke of Wei fought because of jealousy over a brothel girl. The guards of the two families demolished the brothel together. Now he has to judge who is guilty of the two people------how to judge this?

No matter which one it was, he couldn't afford to offend them. All he could do was to smooth things over. As for the brothel, it was just the madam's bad luck.

Just as he was feeling annoyed, a bailiff came to report that there was a new case.
