When the shopkeeper saw that the boss had arrived, he arranged for the meal and did not mention it.

Zhang Dadan was imprisoned in the south of the city quarry, very close to the pier, only seven or eight miles away.

Chao Gai changed into new silk clothes, Liu Tang and Chao Zhuang also changed into new clothes, and rode a horse to rush to the quarry.

The detainees here are all light-weight prisoners, and many of them are not required to be heard and the constable is caught directly.

The yamen runners on duty saw that everyone was riding horses and wearing high-quality clothes, and hurried over to salute.

"Master, what's the matter?"

Chao Gai returned the favor: "My brother, I want to see our prisoner."

The yamen runners looked at Chao Gai up and down, and not everyone could see the prison head.

Liu Tang next to him said: "This is the tuanzheng envoy named by the prefect, Lord Chao."

The seventh-rank official who is from the rank of the county magistrate is considered a big shot, and he is not overestimated by a yamen runner like him.

"Master Chao will come with me." The yamen runner took Chao Gai and Liu Tang entered the side door next to him. There was an office room inside. The prison leader Ma Liu was sitting on a chair picking his teeth. He got drunk last night and was dizzy this morning.

Chao Gai was waiting at the door, and the yamen runners came over to report.

After a while, Ma Liu smiled all over his face: "Chao Tuanlian, welcome, welcome."

Chao Gai's actual influence in Dongping was very small, and Ma Liu didn't take it seriously and invited Chao Gai into the living room.

"I don't know what guidance Chao Tuan has after training here."

Chao Gai pointed to the prisoner working outside: "I am a farmer. I came in two months ago because of a fight. I don't know why I haven't released it yet. Please help me check it out. Let's just pay how much money I should pay."

When he heard this, Ma Liu was very happy to do it, which could both gain benefits and make favors.

"Oh, I don't know what the name of Lord Chao Zhuangke?"

"Zhang Dabang."

Ma Liu stopped checking and put the notebook on his back: "I'm sorry, Lord Chao, I can't help you. You are too bold, you are the family of Ma's old escort. Mr. Ma said that you can't miss a day if you're imprisoned for half a year."

When Chao Gai saw that he had opened his mouth, there was nothing to hide.

"Ma Dutou, I'm here to find you, so of course I'm following the rules with you. The Criminal Law of the Song Dynasty clearly stipulates that the constable can only be imprisoned for half a month at most when dealing with cases that have not been tried in court. Are you a violation of the law? If the prefect Chen, the prefect, knowing that you are inappropriate, you will be fine when you go home to hold your children."

Ma Liu sneered: "You are an outsider and have the title of group training. I really think you are an official. You haven't figured out the door of Dongping Mansion yet, and you still want to teach me a lesson and see off guests."

Chao Gai shook his sleeves and took the people away.

I thought about asking for someone, but I didn’t expect that I would have a big roast chicken nest.

When he left the door, Liu Tangyi clenched his fists: "Brother, this guy is rude. I will take Park Daohuo and join him on his way home."

Only Liu Tang would come up with this method, and he used Park Dao to fight Lei Heng.

Chao Gai patted Liu Tang on the shoulder: "There are rules in the world, and the officialdom has rules in the world. The officialdom pays attention to evidence. If you deal with him openly and openly, you will be fighting against the court and you will only be desperate."

"Then you can't just let him go."

"Brother, don't worry. Didn't you say it just now? It's okay to talk about evidence in the officialdom. If there is no evidence, then it's fine."

Liu Tang suddenly realized that he had to abide by the rules and act according to the rules in everything he did.

Chao Gai also asked in detail why Ma Liu refused to let him go.

Because there is a local tyrant, Ma Yangwei, a martial arts master in his fifties, who runs the Yangwei escort agency, and has a high prestige in the martial arts world. He is responsible for escorting silver and copper coins, traveling to and from Tokyo City, Yingtian, Luoyang, Xuzhou and other places. It can be said that he makes money every day.

Zhang Dadao beat the servant of the young boss of the Yangwei Escort Agency. As a member of the Ma family, Ma Liu naturally had to vent his anger for the Ma family.

When he returned to the inn, Chao Gai looked up the famous post and said that there were not many people he knew about Dongping Mansion, one was the Chen Fu Yin, and the other was the Chen Fu Yin's chief magistrate, Chen Yu.

There are several magistrates in a prefect, but the most powerful one is the chief magistrate, just like Liu Bei's Zhuge and Cao Cao's Guo Jia.

It is naturally impossible to find Chen Fuyin for such a small matter. Chao Gai arranged for someone to prepare a small gift, and when it was dark, he arrived at Master Chen's door to wait.

Master Chen came back and saw: "Isn't this Chao Tuan Jian? Why are you waiting at the door?"

Chao Gai bowed: "I know that Master Chen is coming back late, so I'm waiting here."

Mr. Chen’s house is very simple, with two yards and two wards guards.

When the maid looked at the tea, Master Chen asked, "What happened to Chao Tuanlian?"

"That's right. A farmer from mine met Ma Youcai on the street and teased a woman on the street. He punched the servants of the Ma family. He was locked in the quarry for two months. I went to ask for someone. He also said that except for Chen Gongyin, the others were not good."

Mr. Chen smiled and said, "The young master of Ma's escort has done dozens of things like this, and there are more than a dozen cases in Guangfuya. Three of them have died. However, the Yangwei Escort Agency transported silver for the Beijing-wide transportation of silver, which is of great importance, so Chen's escort has not moved. It's just that Ma Liu is in overtaking the matter and is becoming less and less awesome."

"Oh, so that's it."

Although Chen Yu didn't say it clearly, Chao Gai understood as soon as he heard it. Yangwei's escort agency transported silver for the big men in Tokyo, and Chen Fuyin was not easy to move. But Ma Liu was just a small person and could beat him.

Chen Yu wrote down the name of the Zhuangke, "Chao Tuanlian, please come back, and let him go back to the Chao Family Inn tomorrow."

"Thank you, Master, I won't disturb you to rest."

Chao Gai got up and left. Chen Yu picked up the wooden box on the table and opened it. It was a mountain ginseng tree. It has been available for decades. Although it is not very valuable, it still has it for twenty cents.

Chao Gai was the benefactor of the prefect's family, so he must help him if he should. Chen Yu wrote a note and asked the guard to take it out. As for who he gave the note, it is unknown.

Let’s talk about Maliu, work will be done before it gets dark.

He hummed a little song and went to the mutton restaurant, drank a bowl of stewed lamb treasures, and prepared half a pound of wine until it was dark, thinking about which outdoor room to spend the night.

There was a dark alley in front of me, and I couldn't see my five fingers.

Unconsciously, the oncoming bone on the right calf was hit hard by something, and it broke.

"Ah." He collapsed on the ground at that time.

He shouted at the top of his throat, but no one came.

Ma Liuyi thought, if he had been waiting here, he would have been frozen to death tomorrow.

Immediately, I used my hands and feet, slowly climbed forward, climbing more than 100 meters, and met Sister Mei, who had been bullied before, who was half-closed by the door.

Sister Mei has few guests tonight, so she washed her feet and prepared to go to bed. She opened the door and poured water on Ma Liu's head.
