Although he has been running between Hubu and Yushitai recently, he will go back to Yushitai to rest every night, and no matter how late he comes back, Datou and others will be waiting for him. Datou reports to the Ni family

Regarding the income generated by the various industries left behind, Yang Kai was talking about the political situation of the imperial court, including reports from civil and military officials in the early dynasty and some things that happened in the six yamen. What Yu Yi reported was the inspection missions sent to the local areas.

related circumstances.

As the saying goes, a good man has three gangs. No matter how powerful a person is, he cannot do everything by himself. He must have several capable helpers who can share his worries.

Shi Xuanming hid in Yushitai during the day to train the police officers in martial arts, but he couldn't find anyone at night. Recently, he always stayed up all night, and the amount of money he withdrew from Yushitai's account room was also increasing.

The more money they have, the more they withdraw. In the two months after the new year alone, nearly ten thousand taels were withdrawn.

Shi Xuanming had previously told him that he wanted to enter the world and practice spiritual practice. In Shi Xuanming's own words, he would "feel the sufferings of the world and experience the joys of the world." In Shi Xuanming's view, he regarded wine, sex, wealth, and money as savage beasts and shrank away from them. This was a failure of his own concentration.

Being confident and staying away from temptation is the practice of Hinayana Buddhism. A person who has never been tempted will never be qualified to say that he can withstand temptation. A monk who does not understand the pain and joy of the world will never be qualified to guide others.

If you can understand Xuan Ming's approach, to put it simply, avoiding the tigers of drunkenness, lust, wealth, and wealth is not a real skill. Taking the initiative to rush up to defeat the tigers of drunkenness, lust, wealth, and retreat is the real skill. Shi Xuanming is a drunkard monk.

, wine and meat have no temptation to him, he can drink wine and eat meat, or he can eat vegetarian food. And money has no temptation to Shi Xuanming, which can be seen from the fact that he has been spending money like water in recent times. Shi Xuanming's behavior in recent times

His mood is very unstable. He is very impatient when teaching the police to practice martial arts. He will be in a daze from time to time and disappear at night.

Based on Shi Xuanming's recent withdrawals of silver, we can guess that he has been trapped in love, and the other person is probably not a woman from a good family, because a woman from a good family does not have such a big appetite, and is most likely a prostitute from the Fireworks Willow Alley.

Worried that Shi Xuanming would fall into trouble, he ordered Datou to investigate secretly. The results of Datou's secret investigation verified his guess. The place where Shi Xuanming often went was a brothel called Anxiangfang, and this Anxiangfang was still in

Rebuilt on the old site of Pingkangfang,

It has been the practice and rule of all dynasties to fill the brothels with the female relatives of guilty ministers. Although Chen Liqiu's burning of Pingkangfang caused an uproar, it failed to completely put an end to this bad habit. Official brothels like this were all run by the lords of the imperial palace.

To do business.

I was very curious about what kind of woman could make Shi Xuanming fascinated. After Shi Xuanming withdrew two thousand taels of silver from the accountant and went out.

, he called Da Tou, and the two of them changed into casual clothes and wanted to go to the Anxiang Shop.

As soon as I walked out of the gate, I heard the urgent sound of horse hooves coming from the west. When I heard the sound, I turned my head and saw a black horse galloping towards here from the street to the west.

Although the black horse was still far away from the gate of the Yushitai, he was still sure at a glance that the black horse was the black master he gave to Ni Chenyi. He was familiar with the sound of the black master's hooves and the way it ran.

While turning his head to look west, Datou also followed his line of sight and saw Young Master Hei, "Sir, it seems to be your mount."

Without answering, Young Master Hei thought he saw him, accelerated suddenly, and arrived in front of him with a few leaps, jumping and jumping around him, kicking and dancing happily.

Young Master Hei returned alone, with a saddle on his horse and a rein on its head.

He was both surprised and happy that Young Master Hei had left and returned, but at this time he was more worried. He had already given Young Master Black to Ni Chenyi, and everyone in the Ni family was escorted by many purple energy masters from Taoism.

Arriving safely in the Western Regions, Young Master Hei suddenly left and returned. Could it be that something unexpected happened to Ni Chenyi?

I had doubts in my mind, so I pulled the black master and looked carefully at the reins and saddle. The reins were not complete, but were broken in the middle. The break was very rough and uneven, which meant that it was not cut off with a sharp blade.

He knew how to untie the reins by himself, so he should have untied it by himself. When he was running back, the reins dragged on the ground and were broken by his own step.

Looking at the saddle again, it was the original saddle. There was no blood on it. When I wiped it with my hands, I could see that there was a thick layer of dust on it.

Seeing a solemn expression, Datou guessed what he was thinking, "Sir, the Taoist priests accompanying them have delivered them safely. There were no accidents on the way. Your horse should have run back by itself."

"It should be, if Ni Chenyi takes the initiative to let it back, he will definitely take off its reins." He nodded and said, he spent time with Mr. Hei day and night, and knew a lot about him. If Ni Chenyi encountered an accident, Mr. Hei would definitely show his anxiety.

, and at this time, Mr. Hei only has the closeness and excitement of meeting again after a long separation.

Datou looked around Mr. Hei and said, "Your horse is very humane. I must have seen the Taoist priests who were traveling with me turn around and go back. I felt that I had completed the errand you told me to do, so I left without saying goodbye and ran back secretly."

"this

It can get the job done." He nodded.

"It's thousands of miles away, but it can travel across mountains and rivers to find it alone. It's really not easy." Datou praised.

Young Master Hei was restrained and could not let himself go, so he turned around and wanted to go to the yard.

He pulled it back, released the reins, raised his hand and pointed to the west, "Let's go find her."

"Sir, what are you..."

Before Datou could finish speaking, he waved his hand to interrupt him, then pointed to the west again, "Let's go back."

His tone was very stern, and the black man was very frustrated, digging his front hooves into the ground and sneezing loudly.

Under repeated scoldings from Zai, Mr. Hei finally turned around and walked westward.

Seeing this, he hurriedly called out to it. When Master Hei turned around, he raised his hand and pointed north, "Come in."

Hearing the words, Mr. Black immediately turned from worry to joy, and trotted back to the stables.

Only then did Datou understand why he ordered Black Master to go back earlier. He wanted to confirm whether Black Master could find Ni Chenyi, but Black Master turned around and headed west to show that he knew where Ni Chenyi was and could find her again.

Although Young Master Hei was given to Ni Chenyi, his stable was not dismantled. When the two returned to the backyard, Young Master Hei had already opened the curtain and ran into the stable. He was drinking water from the sink with his head lowered.

He took off Young Master Hei's saddle, untied the reins, brought in fodder and replenished the water.

"Sir, Young Master Hei can find Miss Ni," Datou said. "After a while, when you are not so busy, you can take the time to go to the Western Regions to see her."

Shaked his head.

Seeing that he shook his head, Datou had many doubts. Wasn't he testing Mr. Hei to see if he could find Ni Chenyi just to see her in the future?

"Sir, it was finally found back. You won't drive it away again, right?" Datou asked again.

Shaking his head again, "If you don't want to rush, let him follow me first."

Da Tou is as attentive as a hair, can listen to words, and can guess what is in his heart through the word "Xian" keenly. He will also ask Mr. Hei to find Ni Chenyi, but not now, but at some time in the future.

After settling the black master, the two of them walked out of the censor's stage through the gate again.

As soon as he walked out of the censor's stage, a ragged beggar rushed out of the darkness. This person was an unkempt woman, probably between thirty and forty years old, holding a wooden stick in her left hand.

After rushing out of the darkness, he shouted that he was wronged and staggered towards the two of them.

The beggar appeared too suddenly. Worried that there was some fraud, Datou rushed to meet the beggar before he ran over, "Who is it?!"

Without waiting for the beggar to answer, several officials hurriedly ran over from the street to the west. Two of them dragged the beggar away, while the other one stepped forward and saluted, "This crazy woman is crazy and crazy. She collided with you, and you were frightened."

Already."

"Let her go." He said.

"Lord Qi, this crazy woman is delirious and talking nonsense..."

Before the person could finish speaking, Datou stepped forward and slapped the person on the ear, "My lord, please let her go!"

The slap was so loud that not only the person who spoke was stunned on the spot, but the two officials who took action were also stunned. The unkempt woman took the opportunity to break away from the two men's dragging, and ran to the steps and knelt down.

Instead, "Master Qingtian, the women of the people have grievances, please make the decision for the women of the people."

"Who are you? What grievances do you have?" he asked casually.

"My lord, I asked, the commoner woman, Zhang Wang, is from Jeju." As she spoke, the woman reached into her arms and took out a piece of cloth with trembling, "Complaint, the commoner woman asked someone to write a complaint."

Da Tou stepped forward to take the square piece of cloth and spread it out. He saw that it was densely covered with handwriting. After confirming that there was nothing unusual about the complaint, Da Tou presented it to him.

He took the piece of cloth that still contained the woman's body temperature and said, "How do you know I can make the decision for you?"

The woman said with a trembling voice, "They told me that the Yushitai is in charge of officials. When you came out, the official at the door bowed to you, so the woman guessed that you were an official of the Yushitai."

Since the piece of cloth had been kept close to the woman's body, the writing on it had been wetted by the woman's sweat and was very blurry. I could read it roughly at a glance. The cause of the matter was a dispute over land. The Zhang family's land was given to others.

The Zhang family sued the officials to redress their grievances. It turned out that the person who had embezzled the Zhang family's property was a relative of Li Zheng. Li Zheng bribed the county magistrate, and the county magistrate was corrupt and perverted the law and awarded the Zhang family's property to others.

The Zhang family was dissatisfied with the county magistrate's decision, so they went to the government to redress their grievances. This stirred up a hornet's nest. The county magistrate thought that the Zhang family had smeared him and disgraced him, so he found some reason to kill the Zhang family.

All the property was confiscated.

The Zhang family had more injustices, and when they saw that the government could not provide them with justice, they went to the prefecture to drum and redress their grievances. Now even the prefectural officials were angry. They did not want to solve the problem, but solved the person who raised the problem, and directly issued an order.
