In the Chaijie-level yard, Chaijie-level pointed to a man and said to Song Sigong and Shen Dalang: "Horse Lu Yu from Yongcheng County is here to urge the court to apply for documents. You wait for him to finish his business and go back to Yongcheng to meet Ma Daguanren, where he is most familiar with him."

Song Sigong sang a promise and kept looking at Lu Yuhou with his eyes. Shen Dalang, who was on the side, had never seen the world before, hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Mr. Lu Yu was just a errand-runner. After the instructions of the county's guards, he came to the prefecture to urge some official documents, but he had no power in the county. Shen Dalang came to ask about his health, and he really liked it.

If the officials are white, and the idle people like Shen Dalang are black, the public officials in the middle are in a gray area. They are under the jurisdiction of the officials, ordered to capture thieves and suppress the local areas, and also receive the filial piety from the idle people to facilitate them. Some of them are flexible and have means, such as Chai Jie's level, which involves a wide range of connections and has deep involvement in local underworld affairs.

Chai Jiejie was a custodian in the State Court. He participated in the approval of financial and taxes, criminals and other documents, and was an old official. In the eyes of officials, his status is low and not worth mentioning, but his actual status is very important. When local lawsuits are reported to the State Court, they first pass the hands of these people, how to deal with them, and even when to hand them over to the hands of officials. There are many tricks. If you do a little trick, you may turn big things into small things and small things into nothing. Not to mention informing information, and transmitting messages inside and outside is his specialty.

The idle people in several counties in Bozhou like to come to find Chaijie-level if they do the most in the city. As long as they don’t commit crimes openly, they seem to be in touch with each other and inquire about information, they will almost never be disappointed when they come to him.

After chatting for a few moments, Lu Yuhou crossed his hands: "You guys are here for a while. I went to the state to exchange official documents and made arrangements, so I went back to Yongcheng County. At that time, you will be with me and only say that they are my companions, and there will be less troubles on the way."

The Fourth Duke of Song thanked him and sent Lu Yuhou out with Chai Jiejie.

When the Marquis of Lu Yu left, the Sigong of Song said to Chai Jiexie: "Jijia, I think this Marquis of Yu is not like a familiar person with things on the Tao. Will it ruin things? He is a man who is a man, who knows what this guy thinks!"

Chai Jiejie smiled and said, "The Fourth Public Security Bureau is confident that Lu Yuhou is a relative of Ma Daguan, so he will not ruin things."

After hearing this, Song Sigong was not good at saying anything, but he was still a little uneasy.

After staying for more than an hour, Lu Yuhou returned from the prefecture yamen and looked relaxed. After ate two cups of tea with Chai Jie, Song Sigong and others, he said goodbye and left, saying, "The magistrate has a time limit, but I can't stay in the prefecture city for a long time. I have two or three days to go back to Yongcheng, and I dare not delay for a moment."

Although Song Sigong was a little reluctant, he was in other people's territory and had to pack up his luggage and take Shen Dalang and the other two out together.

These days, Du Zhongxiao followed the order written by Han Yueniang, or asked Chai Xin to buy some daily necessities in the city. After a few days, he finally bought it. He looked at the days and was about to go to Yongcheng in two or three days.

Han Yueniang left home for the first time for the first time and was not familiar with the city. Her husband was about to take office one or two hundred miles away, but he was reluctant to leave and felt a little panicked. Early that morning, he said to Du Zhongxiao: "Dalang, I heard from the people in the city that there is a temple outside the east gate that offers a river god, which is very effective. If there is nothing to do with the left, we buy some incense and candles and go to worship."

Du Zhongxiao smiled and said, "I am a prosecutor in this state, not an official sacrifice, so how can I worship the gods? Don't say these words, let's hear them, and make people laugh at me as an unconventional official."

Han Yueniang was not willing to obey, and said, "That's the spirit god commended by the government. What's wrong with the officials going to worship!"

Seeing that Du Zhongxiao just didn't go, he had to say helplessly: "Or, you go with me and don't enter the temple gate. Since you are an official, the gods will not blame you. I will go alone and buy more incense and candles."

Du Zhongxiao had no choice but to agree. Han Yueniang was so young and had no experience in the world. She always had to find some sustenance to stay alone in the city.

Chai Xin went outside to buy incense and candle offerings. Two platoons picked them up and followed Du Zhongxiao and Han Yueniang toward the east gate.

Shen Dalang followed behind Song Sigong and Lu Yuhou and went out the east gate to catch a ferry. Before he could reach the city gate, he saw Du Zhongxiao and Han Yueniang and his wife, who led a few platoons of troops, picked up a sacrifice mouth and was about to leave the city.

Because there had been news about Du Zhongxiao and his party on the road, Shen Dalang couldn't help but feel guilty, stopped and pulled Song Sigong's sleeve.

Song Sigong turned around and said with displeasure: "Why did you stop? It's not too late, so we have to quickly cross the river and find Sutou."

Shen Dalang pointed to Du Zhongxiao and his party in front and said, "The official in front came to work after Luyi a few days ago and was passing by my territory. Seeing that they had some luggage, they wanted to make a fortune, but he didn't expect him to escort the Dutou in this county. Now that he is so majestic, I have ever made the idea of ​​robbing him, so I can't help feeling a little panic. It would be better if they leave and we leave again."

Mr. Song spat: "So no hope! You haven't really taken action, who knows!"

After saying that, seeing that Lu Yuhou had gone far, he quickly accelerated his pace to catch up. Shen Dalang sighed helplessly, and brought two brothers to follow.

Du Zhongxiao followed Han Yueniang and saw that he was at the city gate and was about to leave the city. Suddenly, he saw Tao Shiqi, who was originally squatting at the base of the city wall, suddenly stood up, his eyes red, and he stared at him straight behind him, and he was shocked.

Stopped, Du Zhongxiao said to Chai Xin behind him: "It's this child again, this person is really a bit strange."

Before Chai Xin could speak, he saw Tao Shiqi in front of him suddenly screaming and running along the street towards the city.

Everyone, including Du Zhongxiao, didn't know what happened. What was going crazy about this person and was stunned.

Lu Yuhou stopped like a marquis, stood in the street, and watched Tao Shiqi running towards him curiously.

Tao Shiqi's eyes seemed to be dripping from bleeding, and ran to Lu Yuhou like a flying sword, took out a sharp knife from his waist, and yelled loudly, and the sharp knife penetrated into Lu Yuhou's chest. Seeing Lu Yuhou fall slowly, Tao Shiqi clapped his hands and laughed to the sky: "You thief harmed my whole family. I have been waiting for you here for several years, and finally waited for you! My family is destroyed, thanks to you, and I will take your life today!"

Until this moment, the people around him were like a dream and the crowd started to roar. Someone shouted: "Oh no, someone died!"

Tao Shiqi slapped his hands, raised his arms, and whispered: "Don't panic with neighbors, you have a debt! I am Tao Shiqi. I came to Zhoucheng with my father and mother a few years ago to make a living. I was not suitable for this thief to collude with bad people, cheated my family's money, killed my father, and left my mother angry. Today I will take his life, and one life will be exchanged for another! Someone who is a man caught me and went to the yamen, so he will not implicate the villagers!"

Chai Xin signaled the platoon army to put down the burden, looked at Du Zhongxiao and said, "Officials--"

Du Zhongxiao sighed: "What else do you have to say? The child actually said that he asked the lord to take him to the yamen. Why don't you go quickly? It was just as the main road here, and there were many pedestrians coming and going, so he took the people and asked the Qiao County yamen to quickly deal with the body."

Chai Xin responded to the promise and ran forward with two platoons, cut Tao Shiqi's arms and held aside. Tao Shiqi did not resist, but just sneered.
