A large ship slowly approached the pier of Hexi Village.

Jiang Zhen deliberately hired some people to receive businessmen here at the pier. When he saw the big ship, someone immediately went up to help and let the ship dock on the shore. When the ship docked, some people went up and asked: Where did it come from?"

The people who went up to inquire did not wait for their reply, but were pushed away. At the same time, many people quickly got off the boat.

"What are you doing?" The person who was pushed away staggered and fell to the ground. He frowned and got up from the ground, then looked angrily at the people in front of him.

He went up to ask questions, why did he still hit someone?Who are these people?

The movement here naturally attracted the attention of the people around.

The bodyguards under Jiang Zhen followed the boat in turn, and those who didn't need to go out with the boat stayed at the pier to patrol.

When working on the pier, they can go home after finishing their work. In addition, they will be given two days off in a month. As for when to take these two days off, those under him can arrange them at will. If there is any important matter, he will It can also not be approved.

He Chunsheng was on patrol today.

He Chunsheng has been with Jiang Zhen for a long time, and he is already one of the heads of the bodyguards. The days are getting better and better. In the past, their family was almost destroyed by Liu Heitou, but now, Liu Heitou is his subordinate. , He tosses people, it's a matter of minutes.

Seeing someone making trouble, He Chunsheng immediately took people there: "Who are you? What are you here for?" After the Escort Bureau's business grew, there were people who came to make trouble, and He Chunsheng was very vigilant at the moment.

He Chunsheng and others have been with Jiang Zhen for more than a year. Jiang Zhen pays generously and eats good food. Although they may not all be tall, they are all dark and strong. They also wear uniform clothes and have an imposing manner.

The person who was aggressively pushing people before froze suddenly.

Zhou Maohe was standing on the bow of the big ship, and he saw this scene in his eyes, he frowned and came to the side of the boat, and said loudly: "I am Zhou Maohe, the imperial envoy of the court, and I am here to handle the case! Get out of the way quickly!"

Imperial envoy?He Chunsheng looked on the boat, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man in official uniform standing on the big boat, and beside him stood several people dressed as government servants.

The imperial envoy, this person who was only seen in dramas before, now appeared in front of him alive?

He Chunsheng was startled, and when he took a closer look, he also found that the imperial envoy seemed familiar.

A few days ago, someone made trouble at Zhao Liu's birthday banquet, and it was He Chunsheng who kicked him out, and the person in front of him was the one who made the trouble?

He Chunsheng was startled and froze immediately. At this time, many people got off the boat.

The people who came down at first were okay, they looked ordinary, but the people who came down later... turned out to be all dressed up as yamen servants!

He Chunsheng knew all the yamen servants in Hecheng County, but he didn't know any of these people. Obviously, these were not yamen servants in Hecheng County.

He Chunsheng felt uneasy, he didn't care about anything else, and ran directly to Jiang Zhen's residence.

Not long after, He Chunsheng ran to the door of Zhao's new house, and met Zhao Liu who was taking his granddaughter to bask in the sun at the door.

"Aunt Zhao, it's not good, something happened." He Chunsheng said, and then rushed in quickly.

Jiang Zhen was looking at the account book, when he saw He Chunsheng rushing in, followed by Zhao Liushi who was holding Zhao Mingzhu, he asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"Boss, there's an imperial envoy outside!" He Chunsheng said, "The one we kicked out last time when Aunt Zhao celebrated her birthday was an imperial envoy."

"Imperial envoy?" Jiang Zhen frowned. He remembered that the middle-aged man who helped Jiang's family to question him came, and that person was an imperial envoy?

Jiang Zhen's heart skipped a beat, and almost immediately, he remembered what the Jiang family had been clamoring to sue him.

Jiang Zhen used to threaten the Jiang family by going to the county government to kill people. At that time, he actually didn't know much about ancient laws, and he didn't even know anything about some aspects.

But later, he specifically looked for "Laws of Great Qi" and some other materials, and found that some laws in ancient times were inexplicable to him.

For example, the "crime of unfilial piety".

The crime of unfilial piety was very serious in ancient times. In the previous dynasties, there was even a law such as "hanging those who violate grandparents and parents".To explain it, those who insult their parents and grandparents will be hanged.

Anyone who scolds their parents will be hanged, not to mention beating their parents...

In addition, if a parent commits a crime and the child exposes it, the child will also be hanged. It is clearly written in the law, "Those who sue their grandparents and parents are hanged."

Even if parents and grandparents are still alive and separate, or save money privately, they are also guilty of unfilial piety and will be imprisoned.

In other words, as long as the parents are still there, even private money cannot be kept... otherwise it would be a crime!

But in Daqi, many punishments have been changed. For example, if the parents agree to separate the family, the child can be separated... If it weren’t for this law before, it would be difficult for Jiang Zhen to separate the family, but there are still many It has not been changed.

Of course, although the law exists, the actual implementation is different.

Only when someone goes to the government to sue, the government will arrest and sentence someone, but most people dare not go to the government to sue people unless it is absolutely necessary, or if they have a life-and-death enmity.

However, the Jiang family is not ordinary people.

"Boss, what should we do? He brought many yamen servants here, and those yamen servants are not from our Hecheng County." He Chunsheng said again.

"Don't worry, I'm fine." Jiang Zhen said.

After seeing such strict legal provisions, it is impossible for him to have no arrangements at all, and it is impossible for him to be completely unprepared.

Although he beat Jiang's father and Jiang's mother, his various arrangements during this period have prevented people in Hexi Village from testifying for Jiang's family. As for not supporting his parents...

Even if the Jiang family sued him about this, he would be fine - he has married into the Zhao family!

These laws are all aimed at the son who stays at home. He has gone to someone else's house, so what does it have to do with him?

In this world, there is no reason for a married woman to poach her husband's family to support her parents.

"Jiang Zhen! Are you all right?" Zhao Liushi held her daughter and looked at Jiang Zhen worriedly.

"It's okay." Jiang Zhen reassured.

Zhao Liushi believed in Jiang Zhen 100%. When Jiang Zhen said it was fine, she felt relieved. However, at this moment, a yamen servant came in from outside.

"Who is Jiang Zhen?" the head catcher asked.

"I'm Jiang Zhen." Jiang Zhen admitted directly.

"You are Jiang Zhen?" The head arrester looked at Jiang Zhen in surprise. He came to arrest Jiang Zhen, and he had heard about Jiang Zhen's charges.Knowing that this person actually beat his parents and brothers, and forced his parents to separate their families, he always thought that this person was a vicious person, but he never thought that the real person was completely different from what he imagined.

"He is Jiang Zhen, take him down!" At this moment, Zhou Maohe also came in from the outside.

"Are you Mr. Zhou, the imperial envoy from the capital?" Jiang Zhen looked at Zhou Maohe: "Mr. Zhou wants to arrest me. What is the charge?"

"If you beat your parents, if your parents are still alive, you will have a different fortune, and you will not be able to provide for your parents!" Zhou Maohe said, "You are so unfilial!"

"Does Mr. Zhou have evidence for the first charge? As for the second two...does Mr. Zhou know that I have already married into the Zhao family?" Jiang Zhen asked directly.

Jiang Zhen wasn't guilty at all, he didn't feel that he had done anything wrong at all.

But Zhou Maohe couldn't get angry when he saw him like this, he just felt that this person was simply stubborn!

"Marriage should be the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker. It doesn't matter if you marry into the Zhao family without permission! You can't even try to get rid of the crime!" Zhou Maohe sneered.

Of course, he knew about Jiang Zhen's marriage to the Zhao family, and because of this, he felt that this person was hopeless. Even if a big man couldn't marry a wife, he shouldn't treat himself like this...Of course, this Jiang Zhen probably didn't mean to insult himself, he was just disrespectful to his parents, and he lost the surname given by his parents without even thinking about it.

"Tie him up!" Zhou Maohe said loudly.

Those arresting yamen servants all listened to Zhou Maohe. Hearing this, many people surrounded Jiang Zhen, intending to arrest Jiang Zhen.

Jiang Zhen's face darkened.

He could tell that this person came to trouble him on purpose!I'm afraid that today's matter will not be good.

"What are you going to do?!" At this time, Brother Zhao Jin hurried over.

Brother Zhao Jin went to the brick kiln today, but only half of the bricks were counted, and someone told him that something happened at the pier... He hurried over, just in time to see Jiang Zhen being surrounded.

"Stop!" Zhao Jinge quickly stopped in front of Jiang Zhen.

The brick kiln was very dusty, and it was easy to get dirty, so he put on an old clothes over the new clothes. In the past, he would take off the old clothes at the brick kiln before coming back, but this time he was too anxious. Do it, the whole person looks gray.

"Who are you? Don't hinder us from running errands." Seeing Zhao Jinge's dirty look, Zhou Maohe's face softened a little.

"I'm his wife, what did he do, you want to arrest him?" Brother Zhao Jin asked again.

This person turned out to be Jiang Zhen's wife?Zhou Maohe was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "Did Jiang Zhen abuse you on weekdays, you..."

Zhou Mao and Ben wanted to ask a few more questions, but suddenly realized that suing a wife to a husband would cost a hundred sticks, so they stopped asking, and just said: "Hurry up and take this Jiang Zhen away! Take him to Hecheng County! I also want to interrogate the county magistrate of Hecheng County, why did he cover up this person and let people have nowhere to sue him!"

As soon as Zhou Maohe said this, some yamen servants wanted to arrest Jiang Zhen. In a hurry, Zhao Jing grabbed the hand of one of the yamen servants and threw him out—after practicing with Jiang Zhen for a long time, his skills are getting better and better. the better.

"Brother Jin!" Jiang Zhen called out.

Brother Zhao Jin suddenly stopped what he was doing and looked at Jiang Zhen.

"Calm down." Jiang Zhen said.

Brother Zhao Jin was very, very anxious just now, but now he calmed down when he heard Jiang Zhen's words.

After Jiang Zhen finished talking to Brother Zhao Jing, he said again: "Master Zhou, you don't have to tie me up anymore, I will go with you myself, I just hope that Master Zhou, you are really a good official and not a person who doesn't know right from wrong!"

"You!" Zhou Maohe looked at Jiang Zhen angrily, but saw that Jiang Zhen had already strode out, his steps were very calm, and he didn't look like a captured prisoner at all.

Seeing Jiang Zhen's straight back, Zhou Maohe couldn't help but feel depressed again. He waved his sleeves and followed Jiang Zhen out.

Watching them leave, Zhao Jinge clenched his fists tightly. He suddenly turned his head to look at He Chunsheng, and asked, "What's going on?"

"The imperial envoy said that the boss committed the crime of disfilial piety." He Chunsheng said, although he had begun to read, he hadn't read any books, and he really didn't know about the crime of disfilial piety.

"Brother Jin, what should we do now?" Zhao Liu asked quickly, she kept holding Zhao Mingzhu, afraid that those people would hurt Zhao Mingzhu, so she didn't dare to approach her, she was about to cry right now.

As for Zhao Mingzhu, she had been in a daze just now, but now she curled her lips, and tears fell down uncontrollably.

The child used to cry with thunder and rain, and often howled without a tear, but this time, the tears seemed unstoppable, and he started to choke, looking very pitiful.

If it was before, Brother Zhao Jin would definitely feel distressed, not to mention Jiang Zhen, he was afraid that he would be a sweetheart, so he coaxed him.

But now, Brother Zhao Jin really doesn't care about her.

"Let me think about it..." Zhao Jinge said, his face pale.

For a long time, Brother Zhao Jin always followed Jiang Zhen's lead, and Jiang Zhen came up with all the ideas, so he just listened.

But now, Jiang Zhen has been captured!

Brother Zhao Jin was in a state of confusion for a moment, as if he had lost his backbone, and for a moment he didn't know what he could do or what he should do...

However, after realizing this, he immediately slapped himself.

Jiang Zhen is still waiting for him to save him!

This slap made Zhao Mingzhu startled, and cried out with a "wow", which also made Zhao Jinge wake up.

"He Chunsheng, you go and arrange a boat, I'm going to find Zheng Shao... Also, He Chunsheng, I beg you for one thing."

"Sister-in-law, just say it." He Chunsheng immediately said that those people wanted to arrest Jiang Zhen, but he didn't dare to go up to stop him. This made him feel very guilty. Now Brother Zhao Jin has something to ask him to do, and he is very willing.

"He Chunsheng, I want to ask you to find your father and ask him to sue Qiusheng." Zhao Jinge said, "Don't worry, I will find some other people, and I will definitely not let you have trouble. compensate."

He Chunsheng was taken aback for a moment, but quickly realized that Brother Zhao Jin wanted to find someone to sue his married daughter Shuang'er to divert attention!

After he came back from the capital, he settled his marriage affairs. Not long ago, he married He Qiusheng to a person from the next village who was working as a bodyguard for Jiang Zhen like himself.

Although his younger brother is good-looking, he is also coquettish, probably not able to take care of his in-laws, and his colleague has the advantage that his parents are dead, and he is devoted to his younger brother.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, I'll go right away."

"Don't worry, you can discuss this matter with Qiu Sheng first, and if there is still a suitable person, you can tell me right away, as long as you are willing to do this, I will give you 100 taels of silver." Brother Zhao Jin said again.

"Okay." He Chunsheng nodded.

Their family can live a good life now because of Jiang Zhen, and now he is naturally willing to do his part to save Jiang Zhen.

Brother Zhao Jinge and He Chunsheng spoke a few words in a hurry, then ran out immediately, directly to the county seat.

He let the boat go from the small river, and ran all the way to the county seat. When he knocked on the door of Zheng's house, Zheng Yi didn't even know that Jiang Zhen was arrested.

"Brother Zhao Jin? What's the matter?" Zheng Yi looked at the dirty Zhao Jinge in surprise.

Brother Zhao Jin knelt down in front of Zheng Yi and kowtowed: "Young Master Zheng, Jiang Zhen was arrested by an imperial envoy named Zhou. I beg you, Young Master Zheng, to save him."

"What?" Zheng Yi was startled, did the imperial envoy arrest Jiang Zhen?

At the same time, He Chunsheng rushed into the casino in Hecheng County, and found his father who was still working in the casino.

"Chunsheng, you're finally here..." Father He was very excited when he saw his son.

In fact, the people in this gambling house treat him well, they don't beat or scold, and they don't talk about big fish and meat when they eat, at least they are full. He has lived here for more than a year, and he has gained weight.

But he was really homesick.

In the past, he couldn't stay at home, but now he missed his family more and more, and was terribly homesick. Now that he saw his son, he didn't think he hated him anymore.

"Father, I have something to ask you to do. If you do it well, I will take you back." He Chunsheng said, he is now on the pier of Hexi Village, and he is a bit powerful, and he wants to keep an eye on his father. It's really not a big problem to let him gamble.

"Chunsheng, just say it." Father He said immediately.

"It's like this..." He Chunsheng told He Qiusheng what he wanted his father to sue He Qiusheng.

"This...how can this be done?" Father He was taken aback.Although he's an asshole, he's a good guy, and he won't sue his son...

In fact, when no one was pressing for debts, he still loved He Qiusheng, a very good-looking son, very much.

"This is to save people." He Chunsheng said, and added: "If you do this, Brother Zhao Jin is willing to give you 100 taels of silver!"

100 taels of silver?Father He's eyes lit up immediately, and he suddenly asked, "Does he want to find some more?"

"Yes." He Chunsheng said.

"I know a lot of people who are willing to do this! I'll call for them, and we'll give them 50 taels. No, no, 20 taels is enough. We'll take the rest..." Father He discussed with his son.

He Chunsheng was in a state of anxiety, but he was a little speechless after being tormented by his father.

On the county side, Brother Zhao Jinge and He Chunsheng were busy, but in Hexi Village, Mrs. Liu of Zhao left his granddaughter to Mrs. Li and Ruo'er to look after, and went out with Zhao Fugui.

"I begged from family to family, kowtowed to them, and asked them to testify for Jiang Zhen!" Zhao Liu said, "Jiang Zhen didn't do anything to them? Why did he want to arrest Jiang Zhen?"

"Slow down, we can't do this, we can't ask for help." Zhao Fugui stopped Zhao Liushi.

"Why not?" Zhao Liu asked puzzled.

"We need to make others feel that our family is good!" Zhao Fugui said.If others found out that Zhao's family was in a bad situation, those people might not be willing to help. He had clearly felt this matter after his son's death and Zhao Liu's illness.

Therefore, he wants to let people know that the Zhao family is fine now.

Although Zhao Fugui doesn't like to talk, many things are like a bright mirror in his heart.

He took Zhao Liu's family and went to the village chief first: "Village chief, this time the Jiang family sued Jiang Zhen, which is simply a problem with the whole Hexi Village! If Jiang Zhen is wronged in prison, we will have to Moving away from here, it is definitely more convenient to do business elsewhere than in Hexi Village, and it will save me from seeing that family again!"

"Don't..." Jiang Ping hastily stopped him.

Jiang Zhen was taken away under the watchful eyes of everyone, and Jiang Ping naturally knew about it. Originally, he didn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, he was an imperial envoy and he couldn't offend him.

But what Zhao Fugui said...

If the Zhao family moves away... what will they do in the future?

Even though the Zhao family has only been prosperous for more than a year, at this moment, everyone in Hexi Village is relying on the Zhao family to make money!

His youngest son is Jiang Zhen's escort, and the eldest son found a job as a bookkeeper on Jiang Zhen's pier because of his literacy.Life suddenly became much better, and the other families in Hexi Village basically did the same.

If the Zhao family moves away... Will their life suddenly change back to how it was before?

"Don't worry, I'll take you to find someone right away." Jiang Ping said, and walked out with Zhao Fugui: "Let's talk to the people in the village, I believe everyone will be willing to help."

Zhao Fugui nodded: "Then trouble the village chief."

The people in Hexi Village are indeed willing to help.

They are now more or less relying on the Zhao family to live. If the Zhao family really leaves...

This Jiang Zhen must not have any accidents!

They used to be afraid of Jiang Zhen, but now they are not afraid at all. They have long worshiped and admired Jiang Zhen, and hoped that Jiang Zhen would become more and more promising. Since Jiang Zhen built a pier, the people from Hexi Village went outside Go, that's the envy of everyone.

Moreover, Jiang Zhen...he actually didn't do anything bad, so the Jiang family is doing well, isn't it?

On the side of Hexi Village, many villagers soon gathered together.

At this time, a boat arrived at the pier in Hecheng County.

The ship was not big, but it was very delicate. After the ship stopped, some guards with knives descended from it.

"Eunuch, He Cheng County is here." After the guards got off the boat, they shouted into the cabin.

"It's time..." A sharp voice came from the cabin, the voice was weak, and it seemed that the owner of the voice was very uncomfortable: "Xiao Lizi, help me... Oh, this boat is too exhausting. For the rest of my life, I don’t want to take a boat again.”

"Eunuch Zhang is tired, and he must find a way to take a carriage when he goes back." Another younger, but equally sharp voice said.

Two white-faced and beardless people, one old and one young, finally walked off the boat supporting each other.

As soon as they disembarked, they found that the side was very lively, and there were people shouting that the imperial envoy was coming.

So Zhou Maohe is here too?The old eunuch looked bitter: "Oh, why is this guy here? I still want to taste the delicacies of Jiangnan. Now that he's here..." Does that Young Master Zheng still dare to treat him well?
