The heavy rain fell, and the sky in Bianliang City became darker in the evening. The water fell down the eaves, passed through the ditches, and turned into a turbulent current in the city's lanes, flooding freely.

In Liushu Hutong, several large vehicles were parked in the sewage-stained alley. Some men in guard uniforms were holding umbrellas from far and near, spreading around. Next to it was a small, dilapidated doorway, where people gathered, and occasionally there were

Cries could be heard, and voices alternated between arguments and justifications.

Ning Yi was talking to the crying woman in the dilapidated house.

"... From studying in the academy to taking the Mavericks Scholarship Examination, we will be responsible for all his expenses. If there is any injury to his leg, we will take care of him for the rest of his life..."

"Aunt Pan, your life is not easy. I all know that Maverick's father died defending the city. At that time, Zhu Biao and the others were also fighting hard outside the city. Speaking of which, if we can fight together, we are all a family. We don't have to do things differently.

Even if you are so stiff, you can say anything. If you have any requests, you can make them..."

"...No, no, no, we are definitely not bullying you, don't cry. You see, I have also approached the patriarch about this matter. As long as your idea is reasonable and reasonable, we will help you make it happen..."

The woman's crying occasionally became louder, but Ning Yi's words were always slow and sincere. Time gradually passed in this atmosphere. About nightfall, the rain became lighter, and a group of people wearing raincoats appeared.

The men and horses came from the other end of the street. When they approached this side, they had some friction with the guards outside, but the leader finally walked quickly to the dilapidated courtyard gate.

The person leading the charge is Tie Tianying, one of the seven chief arresters of the Criminal Department.

He strode across the yard. In the room over there, the two parties seemed to have reached an agreement. However, when the woman saw Tie Tianying coming in, she froze with a grimace on her face. Seeing that, she wanted to do it again.

Cry it out.

Ning Yi went over and patted her shoulder: "It's okay, it's okay. Auntie, you go and wait for now. We've made things clear and there won't be any more trouble. I'll tell him the truth on Iron Cap's side."

He is just doing business, there will be no trouble..."

Just as he was persuading, Tie Tianying stepped through the door: "Ning Liheng, how dare you do this! Pan, if he threatens you in private, you can tell me that I will not be able to get around him!"

A tall and thin old man came to the room: "Master Captor. Master Captor. No threats, no threats. Mr. Ning came here this time just to make things clear. I can testify..."

"Who are you!?" Tie Tianying glared at him.

"I am the leader of the Niu clan. I am here because of the calf's injury. Mr. Headcatcher, please take a seat..."

"Go away, I'm talking to Ning, and am I threatening? It's just what you say!"

"Yes, yes, Maverick, please tell the chief catcher quickly..."

The clan leader couldn't stand Tie Tianying's good looks. He quickly spoke to the woman next to him. The woman was just a daughter-in-law who married into the Niu family. Even though her husband was dead and she still had children, the clan leader wouldn't dare act recklessly if he stared at her. But in front of him

The Chief Constable is also an extraordinary person. After a moment, he said with a tearful voice: "Let's make it clear, let's make it clear, Mr. Chief Constable..."

Big fish eat small fish, small fish eat shrimps, one thing always comes down to the other. Tie Tianying's eyes were cold, but with these words, Ning Yi sent the woman aside. He turned back, Tie Tianying

Looking at him, he nodded with a sneer: "Okay, Ning Liheng, you are really good at it. You have settled so many houses in these few days..."

"It's just hard work. Mr. Tie is overly praised." Ning Yi sighed, and then said, "Captain Tie, there is something I don't know whether to say or not."

Tie Tianying tilted his head: "Tell me."

"They are all small families, and they can't afford to offend anyone." Standing under the eaves, Ning Yi looked back at the entire yard, "Since the decision has been made, how about letting them go? Don't come back to trouble them again, stay here

They have a way to survive."

His tone was sincere, and Tie Tianying pulled the muscles on his face a few times, and finally waved his hand: "Let's go!" He led the people and walked out of the courtyard. Ning Yi then wiped his hands and went outside with the Niu clan leader.

Everyone came here today because of something that happened the other day.

A full month has passed since the situation in the capital took a turn for the worse in March of this year, and Qin Siyuan was put on trial after being imprisoned. During this month, many complicated things happened behind the scenes, and public opinion was also changing violently on the surface.

Variety.

After Qin Siyuan was put on trial, many things that had been kept in the dark were brought to the surface, including corruption and perversion of the law, forming cliques for personal gain, and using power for profit... All kinds of evidence were laid out and laid out, revealing a huge outline of a treacherous and corrupt official. Painting with his hands,

They were some of the most powerful and intelligent people at the top of the Wu Dynasty at this time, including Zhou Zhe, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Wang Fu, etc.

Half of the evidence of these things is basically true. After they were listed and pieced together, they finally produced huge persuasiveness in the day-to-day trials. These things were fed back to the ears and mouths of the scholars and scholars in the capital,

Every day, he fell into the lower level of the information network, so in more than a month, by the time Qin Shaoqian was implicated and imprisoned, the city's image of Qin Siyuan and his family in the "Seven Tigers" had been reversed and finalized.

Some shops and businesses related to the Qin Mansion were subsequently implicated on a small scale, including Bamboo Records and some bookshops that originally belonged to the Wang family.

The Wang family's industry was originally run by the family of the great Confucian Wang Qisong. Wang Shanyue had a master-disciple relationship with Qin Siyuan. Later, he fought side by side with Ning Yi in Shandong, was bewitched by Ning Yi, and turned into a cooperative relationship. After the expansion of Bamboo Records,

Ning Yi planned to improve some of the machinery and processes in the book printing and paper book workshops to improve efficiency. These book workshops were managed by a group of women from the Wang family.

Zhu Biao, who was working next to Ning Yi at this time, came to Bianliang and fell in love with a girl from the Wang family. They made a marriage arrangement and occasionally went to the Wang family to help.

On this day in mid-April, some people were incited and bewitched and went to the Wang family's shop to smash it. Zhu Biao happened to be there, blocking the door leading to the backyard of the bookstore, and beat up the people who rushed in.

.

Zhu Biao learned from Luan Tingyu and was one of the best at Dulonggang. Later, he followed Ning Yi to fight. At this time, his skills were probably not inferior to those of Chen Fan in Hangzhou. He was one of the most powerful people around Ning Yi.

, in the capital city in front of him, perhaps there is only one Lu Hongti who can steadily suppress him. With his skills approaching the master level, how can an ordinary "patriotic young man" be his opponent? In a fit of anger, he almost

Ten people were beaten to the ground. But as a result, there was trouble.

The bookstore was subsequently sealed, and the government also began to investigate the matter and wanted to arrest Zhu Biao. Ning Yi suppressed the matter on the one hand, and settled the injured and the host on the other. Fortunately, Zhu Biao had followed Ning Yi for so long, and he had been reckless

His habits have changed a lot since he was still the same as when he first came out of Dulonggang. During these days of forbearance, dozens of ordinary people rushed in. I am afraid that none of them will survive.

After Ning Yi's verification, about a dozen people among the dozens of people were slightly injured, and one was seriously injured. This was the young man named "Xiao Niu". His father died defending the city.

He rushed in, smashed up the store, and beat people. Zhu Biao threw him away, and he rushed over again. In the end, Zhu Biao threw him away and broke his leg on the steps.

Tie Tianying and others collected evidence to convict Zhu Biao. Ning Yi arranged for many people to settle the matter with inducement or coercion. Although it only took a few days, the difficulties involved cannot be detailed.

For example, Pan, the mother of the calf, was threatened and lured by Ning Yi on the one hand. On the other hand, Tie Tianying and others also did the same thing, asking her to bite the assailant to death, or the lion asked her with a big mouth.

Ning Yi went back and forth on the price several times, and finally settled the matter this time.

Although Pan was a little greedy and wanted to make a lot of money with this opportunity, under the coercion of Tie Tianying and Ning Yi, she was not doing well. She was from a small family, how could she

Neither side dared to offend, and that was why Ning Yi finally told Tie Tianying like that.

All the way back to Bamboo Records, after dinner, more things were actually in front of us. Zhu Biao's things were not easy, they were very troublesome, but the troublesome things were not just the ones in front of him.

In the past few days, two Zhuji stores have also been smashed. This is still a small matter. The system of the Secret Investigation Department has been separated from Zhuji. In these days, the information network from the capital as the center to the surrounding areas has been

During the delivery, many of Zhuji's elites were sent out, and brothers Qi Xinyi and Qi Xinhan also went south to handle the matter. The Ministry of Punishment made trouble in the capital, some staff were threatened, and some chose to leave. It can be said that the Zhuji that was originally established

Systems that can be separated are mostly falling apart at this time. It is not easy for Ning Yi to hold on to the core.

He hasn't left yet, but it's almost there. Of course, leaving may not be that straightforward and simple. He has done some backup, but he doesn't know if it will work.

After dinner, the rain had subsided. Zhuji's staff and shopkeepers were discussing matters in several rooms in the yard, while Ning Yi was handling matters on the other side: a shopkeeper came over and said that two shop assistants were arrested by the Criminal Department.

Trouble, I got beaten, and then a staff member came to submit his resignation.

Ning Yi paid for the injuries and illnesses of the two waiters in the shop, and asked the shopkeeper to comfort their families. He persuaded the staff, but in the end the other party gave up the idea, probably because he saw Ning Yi's difficulties.

After the two groups left, a tall and tall young man also came over at the far gate of the courtyard. It was Zhu Biao who had been arranged by Ning Yi to do other things these days. At this time, he should have heard about Ning Yi.

What Yi and others were doing, they rushed over and looked at him with hesitation, but naturally they were not directed at Ning Yi.

"Sit." Ning Yi smiled and raised his hand.

Zhu Biao sat down in front. Although a warrior is not a member of the officialdom, he still has his own status and demeanor, especially one who has practiced to Zhu Biao's level. In ordinary places, he can be called a master, and he will not be a master against anyone.

He lowered his head, but at this time, he was really holding something in his heart.

"Although I was born in a place like Dulonggang, I, Zhu Biao, never thought that I was some unreasonable mountain bandit."

After sitting for a while, Zhu Biao finally spoke: "Let's not talk about the fight I was waiting for outside the city. Regardless of whether they were deceived or not, they broke into the bookshop that day and smashed it. They are already the ones who deserve to die. I stopped my hand, no?

Because I am in the wrong."

He said this in a calm but firm tone, and Ning Yi had already made him a cup of tea: "You and I have known each other for several years. Even if you don't say this, I understand. If you can't live with it..."

"I can't live with it in my heart. I want to kill someone." Zhu Biao smiled, "But it will cause you trouble again."

"The capital has its own way of playing. Fortunately, it's over now." Ning Yi paused, "If you feel uncomfortable, there is something going on in the north, and I can let you go and relax. You are a martial artist, so worry about this

If there are too many, it will hinder your entry."

It is extremely difficult for warriors to endure humiliation. Especially Zhu Biao, but he cannot explain so much right now. Fortunately, the two have been together for several years and are very familiar with each other, so there is no need to explain too much. After Ning Yi proposed, Zhu Biao

Biao shook his head.

"Before I came here, I was holding back my anger, but it was suppressed on the way." He said. "You hold back your anger much more than me. When I think about this, I feel that my practice is not enough. You can find someone these days.

Apologize, you shouldn't have hidden it from me, it would be better if you invited me along."

"That's not to take care of your emotions. This kind of thing is better solved if you don't come forward. Anyway, it's a matter of money and relationships. If you are here, they will only take advantage of it." Ning Yi shook his head, "As for anger, I

Of course there are, but at this time, anger is of no use... Do you really not want to go out for a walk? "

Zhu Biao shook his head again.

Ning Yi was silent for a moment: "Sometimes I also feel that I want to kill all those fools, and it will be over in one go. Thinking back, if the Jurchens come back again, these people will die anyway. When I think about it, I feel like

I just feel cold... Of course, this period of time is really difficult. No matter how much I can bear it, I will not regard other people's slaps as any reward. Zhuji and Xiangfu are all like this. Lao Qin, Yao Zunian and others,

It's much harder than us. If we can hold on for a while, we can help them block it a little bit..."

"Before I started working with you, I admired my master and his ability to fight. Later, I admired your ability to scheme with people. Later, when I started working with you, I admired Master Zhou Dong and Master Zhou. He is a real hero and well-deserved." Zhu Biao said, "

Now I admire you. What you do is not something ordinary people can do. You can hold it back. What can I say? If you are in the capital, I will be in the capital. If someone wants to kill you, I will help you stop it! Of course, if

If necessary, I can make an Iron Sky Eagle for you, and then I will fly away, you shake me out, and when you leave the capital, I will join you again."
