The coachman looked at the city gates and grinned, "Owner, we"ve arrived at the city gates. There are a lot of people, so we have to queue up to enter." When he got to the yamen and handed the two criminals over to the yamen, he could finally put his worries to rest.Hearing the driver"s words, Li Qingling lifted the carriage"s curtain and looked outside. Seeing the people lining up outside, she heaved a sigh of relief, they were finally here soon.
"Zhi Moge, go take a look at those two men." It wasn"t that she didn"t trust Zeng Tietou, but she had never seen those two men before, so she always felt uneasy in her heart.
Liu Zhimo looked at him and replied. He got off the carriage and walked over to the carriage where Tengei and the others were sitting.
He nodded towards the carriage driver and opened the curtain, seeing the sleeping Ceng Tie-tou and Aunt Zhong at first glance. He frowned, then looked inside again and saw the tall man and Third Brother leaning against each other.
He was right about the nervousness on Third Bro"s face. There was something wrong with these two.
"Uncle Zeng, wake up …" Liu Zhimo stretched out his hand to push Zeng Ironhead. Although he would not blame him for falling asleep at such a crucial moment, Liu Zhimo had made another evaluation in his heart.
When he saw Liu Liu Zhimo frowning, he shuddered and immediately became clear-headed.
"Two... Second Boss, why are you here? " He glanced at his wife and saw that she was even more familiar with sleeping than he was. Saliva dripped from the corner of his mouth, and his face looked somewhat unsightly.
Liu Zhimo said calmly: "There"s something wrong with those two, go and check if the rope in their hands is strong or not." The two of them tightly pressed against each other. There was only one possibility, they wanted to untie the rope in their hands.
Hearing this, the tall man and the third brother"s expressions changed greatly. They had almost untied the ropes, but who would have thought that their efforts would be in vain.
"Yes!" Zeng Tie nodded his head repeatedly. He crawled over and pulled Ol "Three over. Seeing that the rope in his hand was fine, he relaxed a bit.
However, when he saw the loose rope in the tall man"s hand, his face turned pale. If the Second Boss hadn"t come looking for him, then … Then the two thugs would be escaped.
Thinking of this, he shivered. He hurriedly pulled the rope on the tall man"s hand tighter and slapped him, "Motherf * cker, I made you dishonest."
The tall man"s sword looked at Zeng Tietou venomously. If looks could kill, then Zeng Tietou would have died tens of thousands of times already.
Zeng Tieshou was currently in a bad mood. Being stared at like this by the tall man, he slapped the tall man on the other side of his face, giving him a symmetry.
"Do these little tricks for me again. Be careful that I don"t cripple you."
"Wuwuwu …" Seeing the tall man beaten up, Ol "Three cried out.
This angered Ceng Tiexin even more. He turned around and slapped Old Third hard. The strong one left two palm marks on his face.
"Alright, look after them properly. We"ll hand them over to the yamen later." Liu Zhimo glanced at Zeng Tietou, threw down those words, and turned to leave.
Only after Liu Zhimo left did the awakened Aunt Zhong dare to breathe. She patted her chest and said softly: "Second Boss is so scary." That aura scared her so much that she didn"t dare to speak anymore.
"How come you"re sleeping when you"re the one looking at these two?" Zeng Ironhead snappily retorted. If it wasn"t for the Second Boss coming over, and if these two villains were to run away, we might have already lost our lives. "
Aunt Zhong"s lips moved, and said softly: "I … [I am so sleepy. I can"t escape if they are tied up, so...] "I just narrowed my eyes. Who knew that …" She also did not mean it, "This... Is the Second Boss unhappy? "
"Definitely." Zeng Tie wanted to curse at Aunt Zhong, but he remembered that it was not her fault. He could only swallow the words that were on the tip of his tongue, but his heart was full of worry. He failed to do anything good twice. In the future, you must do your job well and not spout nonsense, okay? " He had to think of a way to change the image he had in the heart of the boss. Otherwise, the boss would not think so highly of him.
He was a little too pleased with himself. He felt that his boss valued him greatly and had brought his entire family to the capital. Thus, he felt a little smug in his heart.
This time"s matter was a reminder to him. No matter what he did, he must remain calm and not become complacent. If he were to be complacent, he would reach the end of his journey.
Aunt Zhong saw that Zeng Tienbao"s expression was not good, so she did not dare to ask any further questions.
It wasn"t easy for them to follow their boss all the way to the capital. She would definitely hold on to their boss and not let him chase them away.
On Liu Zhimo"s side, when he returned to the carriage, he noticed that"s expression was a little strange, so he asked him what happened?
When he saw the children of Ceng Ironhead were all here, he shook his head and said it was nothing.
Seeing that he did not say anything, Li Qingling did not pursue the matter any further and thought to ask him in private what had happened?
After they entered the city, they went straight to the yamen"s entrance. Before Li Qingling and the rest could get off the car, the yamen runner walked over with a solemn face. "Come, come, we can"t stop here."
Liu Zhimo told Li Qingling and the other children not to get off the car, he just needed to get off.
Li Qingling acknowledged him and watched him get off the carriage. After a while, he heard him talking to a yamen runner.
"Elder Brother Yamen, I"m sorry. We had an emergency and had to park here." Liu Zhimo had a gentle smile on his face, without waiting for the bailiff to ask, he immediately explained, "On the way here, we met with some criminals, and luckily we caught them, so we wanted to hand them over to the yamen to handle."
He sized Liu Zhimo up. Although his clothes were ordinary, he emitted a n.o.ble aura, so the yamen runner didn"t dare to be negligent.
His face softened a little. "Is this true? "Where is the criminal?"
Liu Zhimo said wait a moment, and turned to ask Zeng Tie to bring the two men down.
When the bailiff saw the two tied up men, the corner of his mouth twitched and he got someone to help him bring the men into the yamen.
"Sir, I"ll have to trouble you to go in and explain what happened to the Prefect."
"Alright …" Liu Zhimo agreed as he walked to the side of the carriage. After saying a few words to Li Qingling, he followed the bailiff in, and with Zeng Tietou, he accompanied Liu Zhimo in. If there was anything he could do to help.
The Prefect"s surname was Yang. He learned of this from the bailiff and sat in his seat. He looked at the tall and well-bound Third Brother, who was stuffed with dirty rags. He ordered the bailiff to take their dirty rags away.
Unexpectedly, the moment the stinky cloth was removed, Ol "Three began to yell its injustice.
Lord Yang immediately patted the wood that caused the atmosphere, and called out for silence, his eyes turned to look at Liu Zhimo who was walking in, and his eyes lit up: "High Scholar Liu? Why is it you? What exactly is going on? "
He could tell with a glance that the two men were not decent people with a single glance. Thus, he did not bother with the two men and directly looked at Liu Zhimo who had a n.o.ble aura on his body. What was he going to say?
Liu Zhimo did not need to directly kneel to the High Scholar, he made a plan for Master Yang, and said slowly: "Master, this student was rushing to the capital for the examination, and encountered a heavy rain yesterday, so I decided to stop at a temple for a while. Unexpectedly, I met three villains who committed murder in the middle of the night, and wanted to capture and sell my student and his family to the traffickers.
Master Yang obviously believed what Liu Zhimo said. In the blink of an eye, he looked at the tall and st.u.r.dy third brother, then patted his shoulders and asked, "What else do you have to say for me?" He truly had guts to actually dare to scheme against a student with a high status. He had no choice but to severely punish him.
When the tall man and the old man heard this, they were shocked. The person they were looking for turned out to be a High Scholar? This time, he was really talking about the iron plate, it seemed like he wouldn"t be able to get it through the use of money.
"My lord, it"s an injustice!" The third brother kneeled on the ground and kowtowed, "Master Liu has misunderstood us, we …" We just want to rob them of some money, and never thought of harming them. " The crime of stealing money is less serious than that of a peddler.
Liu Zhimo looked coldly at Ol "Three, "Are you saying that I"m lying? "Hmm?" Do they have the nerve to say that they just want to rob money? If they hadn"t been alerted, where would they have been sold off to?
"..." A vicious look flashed in Old Third"s eyes, but he said, "Old Master Liu, we really don"t have the heart to kidnap and sell people, please believe us." No matter what, they couldn"t let this name take hold of them. Otherwise, who knew what would happen to them?
"Sir, everything that this student said just now is true." Liu Zhimo then told Master Yang about the fact that the tall one wanted to steal something from his house a few years ago, "Master, these people are habitual offenders, I will not let them off." If they are not taught a lesson, they will grow bolder and bolder.
Hearing that, Lord Yang"s face turned gloomy. He waved his hand and had the yamen runners grab the two men and beat the board. When did they confess and when did they stop?
The tall and st.u.r.dy Ol "Three could still shout for help at the beginning, but after beating it up to ten times, it couldn"t take it anymore and was about to confess.
When Lord Yang saw this, he waved his hand for the bailiffs to stop, "Be honest and lenient, be strict in resisting. You"d better obediently come over, otherwise … …" If he wasn"t finished, the tall man and Ol "Three shivered. They knew that if they didn"t confess honestly, they might really lose their lives.
They would rather be in jail than be beaten to death.
Thinking of this, the two of them obediently made their moves.
Lord Yang slapped the Shocking Wood in anger and declared the two of them guilty. He then let the bailiff escort them into the dungeon.
"High Scholar Liu, do you want to come visit my house?" To be able to become a Top Scorer at such a young age, his future is limitless!
"My apologies my lord, this student still has to hurry on his way, I can only meet with my lord when I return next time."
"Good, good, good. When High Scholar Liu has some good news, then …" "Greetings, High Scholar Liu. Have a safe journey."
Liu Zhimo smiled and made a arrangement with Master Yang, then left the yamen with Zeng Tieshen.
