Volume 1, Chapter 12, the troublesome case

Yang Cong's trip to Hao City was surprisingly smooth. Not only did he win Yu Dayou as he wished, but Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan also went into the water and became temporary "bodyguards" he hired.

Now he finally doesn't have to worry that Chen from Longxi will fight him. With these three fierce men, it will be useless even if the Chen family sends dozens of pirates.

In the afternoon of the same day, they returned to Quanzhou City together. Yang Cong also bought horses for them to facilitate their travel. Then he booked a house for the three of them in Wangjiang Tower, asked them to live, and wait for news from Xu Jie together.

However, sometimes things in this world cannot be satisfactory. Yu Dayou won it successfully, but something went wrong with Xu Jie. That night, Shi Wenzhai and Shi Lizhai brothers brought news about Xu Jie.

Unfortunately, Xu Jie didn't have time to see him, at least he hadn't been available these few days.

This is not a rude word. Xu Jie really has no time because he encountered a headache case these days and had no time to deal with him.

The Shiwenzhai brothers also found out the whole story. The cause was very simple. Zhangban Township, west of the city, owed the local gentry Ai Wannian to the Li brothers. Ai Wannian wanted to collect their land to pay off the debt. The brothers were unwilling, and the two sides fought.

It is said that the two sides fought fiercely, and there were no less than ten people in total, and they almost caused a life. Xu Jie was so angry that he didn't know what to do.

Speaking of Xu Jie, a government magistrate, who was in charge of the punishment of the government, why did he have a headache for such an ordinary case? He directly ordered the government garrison to arrest the two brothers and confiscate their land to the gentry Ai Wannian. What's the headache for him?

What he was worried about was the identities of these two brothers, because these two brothers were not ordinary people, they were from military families, their great-grandfather had served as the deputy Qianhu family of Chongwu Institute, and the land under their name was not the farmland under Quanzhou Prefecture, but the military land under Yongning Wei Chongwu Institute.

This case is really a headache. Xu Jie didn't even dare to send a constable to arrest the Li brothers, because the constables in the government office were just ordinary young and strong, while the Li brothers were military households in the guards, and they also had military households in Chongwu. If they really wanted to arrest people, the entire constables in the government office would probably be beaten back!

Of course, he didn't have any solutions. He just wrote to the Yongning Guard Commander's Office, and Yongning Guard would naturally send people from the Pacification Department to assist in the handling.

The Pacification Department does not refer to the Jinyiwei Town Fufu Division. In fact, all the Pacification Departments of the Ming Dynasty basically have Pacification Departments. The Pacification Department is mainly responsible for the criminal names within the guards. The reason why the Jinyiwei Town Fufu Division is more famous is because they have two Pacification Departments, among which the Nanzhen Fufu Division is responsible for the criminal names of the guards, while the Beizhen Fufu Division specializes in the guards.

This Yongning Guard was a David's office that was known to the Ming Dynasty, and naturally there was a sanctuary.

When the people from Yongning Guard Town and Fushi, these two brothers had to fall down even if they could fight, because the people from the Guard Town and Fushi were just to deal with their own guards. They were all elites selected from the Tun Guards and could fight very well. These two brothers were definitely not their opponents.

Of course, for this matter, it is impossible for the Yongningwei Fushu Department to kill these two brothers. At most, they would beat military sticks and confiscate their military farms. At that time, how to deal with the debts of the gentry Ai Wannian is still unknown. It is certain that these two brothers will hate him to the core, because without the land, they will have no way to live.

Xu Jie has always been gentle and compassionate with the people. He really can't do anything about pushing people to death, so the case is frozen.

After hearing the description of Shi Wenzhai brothers, Yang Cong frowned. This matter was really troublesome. Even if Xu Jie informed Yongningwei and asked the Yongningwei Town and Funeral Department to send someone to assist in the handling, it would take at least half a month to negotiate the document back and forth, that is to say, he would have to wait here for at least half a month.

Will Chen Wenjie wait for him for half a month?

Obviously not. This guy is an arrogant and domineering person at first glance. If he doesn't go back for a few days, he still doesn't know what he has done.

What should I do? Wouldn't I rely on Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng, Tang Kekuan and this guy to be tough?

This is definitely not possible. It takes a few hereditary households to deal with them. The Chen family in Longxi has been dealt with long ago and it is impossible for them to stand still to this day.

What should I do?

Now, Yang Cong had a headache. After seeing off his brothers Shi Wenzhai and Xue Nantang, he was still frowning and sat there without saying a word.

He frowned and pondered for a while, then he realized that Yu Dayou, Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan were sitting aside with him and were worried.

He quickly stood up and said, "Brother Zhifu, Brother Changsheng, Brother Fanguo, it's not too early at this time. Why don't you go back and rest first? We will find a way to do it tomorrow for Lord Xu."

When Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan heard this, they stood up and nodded, and then waited back to rest. However, Yu Dayou suddenly shook his head and sighed: "Qingfeng, it may be difficult for the Li brothers to be good."

When Yang Cong heard this, he couldn't help but say in surprise: "Brother Zhifu, do you know these Li brothers?"

Yu Dayou continued to shake his head and sighed: "I don't know them, but I know their cousin. I have learned stick methods from him."

Before Yang Cong could speak, Deng Cheng was surprised and said, "Brother Zhifu, are you talking about Master Li Gongliangqin?"

Li Liangqin?

Very famous?

Yang Cong was confused. He had never heard of this person before. He couldn't help but say curiously: "Who is Master Li Gongliangqin?"

At this time, Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan sat back. As soon as he said this, the three of them were stunned. Finally, Yu Dayou spoke: "Mr. Li Gongliangqin is a famous master in Quanzhou Prefecture, and the Li family in Quanzhou is also a famous martial arts family."

It turns out that he is a master, and Yang Cong doesn't practice martial arts, so he is not very clear about it. He is a little impressed by Yu Dayou. He doesn't have much impression of Deng Cheng and Tang Kekuan. How could he know about Li Liangqin? He has never heard of Li family in Quanzhou.

He couldn't help asking, "Are these Li brothers also famous masters?"

Yu Dayou shook his head and said, "That's not the case. I just heard Master Li mention them. These two brothers are not easy. When they were still very young, their father got seriously ill. The family was all supported by their mothers. Later, their mother fell ill due to overwork. The two brothers owed a lot of debts before they grew up. Most of the debts in their family were owed by their parents when they were sick. Now their parents have all passed away, but Ai Wannian wants to take their land to pay off the debt, so they naturally don't want to."

So that's what happened. When Yang Cong heard the brothers Shi Wenzhai say that the Li brothers were **. After a long time, they did not lose all their property because of eating, drinking, gambling, or idleness, but because their parents were seriously ill one after another, they owed huge debts.

What he was even more unexpected was that Yu Dayou actually knew the cousin of the Li brothers. This matter seemed not that troublesome, and he might be able to help Xu Jie settle the case.

This is a good opportunity. If he could help Xu Jie settle such a troublesome case, Xu Jie would be somewhat grateful to him, and it would be much more convenient to speak at that time.

He thought for a while and then asked, "Brother Zhifu, where is Mr. Li Gongliangqin now? Can you invite him?"

Yu Dayou said confidently: "Of course, he is teaching stick techniques near Qianshouyan, Qingyuan Mountain, just over ten miles away."
