"Yes, smash him to death." Cherries finally smiled when she saw that her wife supported her. She looked around and reached out to someone standing in the crowd. When she saw the smiling person, she said to Wang Juan, "Young lady, it's him. When I was helping He Yiwei think of a way to raise the tortoise, he passed by and saw me. Then he came to pester me every day."
Wang Juan stood on tiptoe to look. She didn't know him and didn't have any flags to show his identity. She thought for a while and said, "Cherries, you stay with me and Xiao Bao these days. I'll see if he dares to come again."
"Okay, I won't go anywhere." Cherries replied happily. She didn't look at that person anymore. She just stared at the construction site and looked at the flying dust.
She didn't look at others, but others were looking at her. They moved closer little by little. They squeezed through the outermost crowd and stood beside Cherries. They said to Cherries, "Young lady, it's really fate that we meet again. I heard that the Feng Wu Pavilion in the county is good. Why don't I invite you to taste it?"
When the people next to her saw this person, they thought that he was so shameless. His footsteps were frivolous, and his face was pale and slightly flushed. It was obvious that he had overindulged. His face was big, not fat, but swollen.
Cherries stood between Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan and replied impatiently, "I don't know you. Stay away from me. If you do this again, I'll ask someone to teach you a lesson."
"You don't know me? It doesn't matter. I'm the eldest son of Butler Wang. Do you know me, young lady? "The person didn't care and said proudly.
Wang Juan turned around and looked at the person up and down. She asked, "Which eldest son of Butler Wang? Do you know who she is? "
"Oh, there's an even younger lady. Not bad, a beauty. I like her. Isn't she Cherries, a servant of the Zhang family? She knows how to use a thermometer to hatch chickens and ducks. I have a lot of chickens and ducks at home. When she comes to my home, I'll let her take care of them. Young lady, who are you? "
The person began to stare at Wang Juan again.
Wang Juan didn't know where this idiot came from. Seeing that the person's mouth was dirty, she said angrily, "I'm your ancestor, Xiao Bao.. Beat him. Break his legs."
There was no need for Wang Juan to say anything. Xiaobao was already standing behind the man. He kicked between the man's slightly opened legs and hit the target.
"Aiya." . "With a scream, the person fell to the ground with his hand covering his genitals. Zhang Xiaobao didn't plan to stop. He grabbed a piece of dirt from the ground and rode on the person's body. He pulled the person's hair and smashed the dirt in his hand into the person's mouth.
The dirt was used to build houses for many years. It was as hard as stone. In a few hits, the person's front teeth were all smashed out. Blood flew everywhere.
The person couldn't shout anymore. He wanted to get up despite the pain in his lower body. Zhang Xiaobao hit the person's temple twice. Finally, the person was confused. He continued to smash the person's mouth. After smashing the front teeth, he smashed the person's cheeks.
Before the people around could react, the person's teeth were all smashed out by Zhang Xiaobao. His face was badly mutilated and blood foam came out of his mouth.
Zhang Xiaobao got down from the person's body. He said to the two yamen runners who were still in a daze, "What are you standing there for? Bring the fire sticks and break his legs. He dared to molest my woman. If I let him die a quick death, I'll take his surname. Be quick. "
The two bailiffs came back to their senses and were also very angry. They clashed with the fire sticks and with two cracking sounds, both of the man's legs were broken. The man let out an inhuman scream from his throat and immediately fainted.
"Pour water on him and wake him up." Zhang Xiaobao was still angry. He didn't want to let go of the person who had done it before.
A basin of water was poured down. The person on the ground woke up again. His throat made hoarse sounds. He struggled to turn his head and looked at Zhang Xiaobao with eyes full of fear.
Cherries couldn't watch this bloody scene. She turned her head to the side. Wang Juan squatted down with a smile and asked sweetly, "Handsome young master, do you still like me?"
The people around who knew about Wang Juan's past understood that this person was finished. Cuckoo smiled. His voice was so pleasant. He was probably not far from death.
"Young master, young master, what happened to you? Who? Who was it? Who hurt my young master like this? Finished, you're finished. Do you know who my young master is? My young master is the eldest young master of General Zuo Wuwei, Duke Huo, Kaifu Yi, and the three ministers. You're finished. Quickly hand over the murderer. "
Four people squeezed in from outside the crowd. They ran to the person lying on the ground and shouted to the people around them.
Zhang Xiaobao nodded and said, "Good, what a high-ranking official. So he's the son of Wang Maozhong's housekeeper. How impressive. He clearly knows that Cherries is a member of the Zhang family, but he still dares to speak like this. It seems that he doesn't put the Zhang family in his eyes. How impressive. Come, break the legs of these four people for me."
The people around them were frightened when they heard the names of the officials. Just as they were worried about Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, they heard that Zhang Xiaobao still didn't want to give up.
The two bailiffs hesitated for a moment, then gritted their teeth and rushed forward. They raised their sticks and smashed them. They had to knock them down first so that they wouldn't break their legs. Otherwise, they wouldn't wait for them to make a move.
The four people also jumped up and fought with the two bailiffs. They seemed to have similar skills, but four people outnumbered two people. After taking two hits from the sticks, the bailiffs' weapons were grabbed by others. Now that they were fighting again, they obviously didn't have the upper hand. The bailiffs anxiously wanted to find help, but Old Man Pi and Old Man Yao weren't there. The guards also didn't follow, so there was no one to help them.
At the crucial moment, before Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could kill them, He Yiwei shouted, "Someone is bullying our Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. Go, beat them to death."
The people who were worried a moment ago finally didn't care about the other party's identity. They surrounded them and punched and kicked them. There were even women who stretched out their hands to grab them.
The four people struggled for a while, but they were finally outnumbered. They were beaten down by the people. There were even children who imitated Zhang Xiaobao and threw dirt at their faces.
He Yiwei wiped his sweat and stood in front of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan to protect them. In his heart, children were children. They couldn't beat adults.
When the people finished venting, two of the four people fainted. The other two were covered in blood. The two bailiffs whose faces were swollen didn't forget to carry out their duties. They came over and broke the four people's legs.
Cheng Er spat out a mouthful of blood and sucked in a breath of cold air. He cursed, "Why don't you take a look at where you are? Is Baoxin County a place where you can behave atrociously? Everyone, Cheng Er thanks you. Now that this matter is over, Cheng Er invites everyone to Feng Wu Pavilion for a meal. "
Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan stood out from behind He Yiwei. They tidied their clothes and bowed to the people. The people's hearts were useful. They clearly knew the other party's identity, but they still rushed up to fight. These were the people under their rule. If they didn't let them live a good life, they would be letting down today's matter.
When the people saw that Xiao Bao and Cuckoo, who were the most adorable in their hearts, weren't injured, they felt relieved and returned the greeting. They had a good fight, but they still dared to bully Xiao Bao and Cuckoo. They were simply tired of living.
Among the five people lying on the ground, one of them was very strict and could still speak. He said firmly, "Just you wait. My master won't let you off. Even if you admit your mistakes now, it's too late."
"Haha, good. Your bones aren't soft. Admit your mistakes? Let me tell you, I don't plan on letting you go back alive. If you weren't Wang Maozhong's subordinates, I would still let you go. Since it's him, you will all die here. I will send your corpses back to Wang Maozhong and let him go to Xingqing Palace to file a lawsuit. "
Zhang Xiaobao knew that Wang Maozhong and Gao Lishi didn't get along. Wang Maozhong looked down on eunuchs. Since he had acknowledged his godfather and received benefits from his godfather, he had to give his godfather some face. He couldn't always receive without paying.
Wang Juan also said to Zhang Xiaobao indifferently, "It seems that the conflict will be brought forward. Now is not a good time. It's good to leave a good impression on Li Longji first. Go to Luoyang and ask him to transfer 300 people from the first protection team who have never experienced a battle. Expand the second protection team and guard the house well. I'll see if Wang Maozhong will send people to cause trouble."
He Yiwei sighed. He now knew that he had to pick a side. The immortals were going to fight, and none of them were easy to deal with. Juan Juan wanted to transfer the guards over, and he guessed that it was going to be a big fight. He did not know if Wan Qi would come over.
After Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan finished bowing, they cupped their fists and said to the people around them, "Today, I, Zhang Xiaobao, am grateful for everyone's help. I hereby swear to the heavens that within a year, if I can't let the people in the county live a good life and provide for the old and the young, I will be struck by lightning. Everyone, disperse. Cuckoo and I will take responsibility for today's matter."
As soon as these words were said, the people couldn't take it anymore. They shouted one after another. This was everyone's matter. If they wanted to take responsibility, then they should take responsibility together. Xiao Bao and Cuckoo didn't need to worry. They didn't need to be afraid of how many people the other party sent.
There were outsiders who, after asking about the matter, felt like they were dreaming. Wang Maozhong's men were all beaten up when they came. There were so many people around them who were shouting for help. Could this be Xiao Bao and Cuckoo's ability?
"Drag these five people down and interrogate them. Ask them why they came here and ask them about other things. Then let them sign their names." Zhang Xiaobao looked at the five people lying on the ground and said to the two yamen runners. At this time, the yamen runners didn't need to do anything. The people would help.
They now thought very clearly. Wang Maozhong was powerful, but Xiao Bao and Cuckoo weren't bad either. Moreover, the people they beat were the servants. No matter how powerful Wang Maozhong was, he wouldn't dare to go against the Zhang Family and Wang Family for a few servants. The servants weren't important. Of course, the servants of the Zhang Family and Wang Family were important. This matter was caused by Cherries, who usually taught the people on their side how to hatch chicks.
The most important thing was that Wang Maozhong couldn't let them live a good life. Xiao Bao and Cuckoo could. If they didn't protect Xiao Bao and Cuckoo, who would they protect?
The five people were dragged away like this. They should be interrogated to get a lot of information that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan needed.
Zhang Xiaobao turned his head and looked at He Yiwei, who already knew which side to take. He said, "County Magistrate He, you have done a good job in governing the county. First of all, congratulations to County Magistrate He for being an official in Wannian County next year."
County Magistrate He was very happy. He understood what Zhang Xiaobao meant. If he settled the county's matters this year, his position would be confirmed next year. If it were anyone else who said such words, he would laugh in disdain. However, Zhang Xiaobao said it differently. The Zhang Family and Wang Family had the ability to arrange positions for others, but he didn't know what benefits they would use in exchange.
Just as he was about to agree, He Yiwei suddenly thought of something. Hence, he replied, "Registrar Zhang, I actually want to work under a higher-ranking official. For example, an official in Luoyang. I wonder if Young Master Zhang can fulfill my wish?"
"County Magistrate He, have you thought it through? Some people are not allowed to betray others, be it now or in the future. "Zhang Xiaobao understood He Yiwei's words. He wanted to be an official with his father.
"I've thought it through. As the saying goes, a son doesn't despise his mother for being ugly, and a dog doesn't abandon a poor family, much less a person." County Magistrate He immediately expressed his loyalty.
"That's good. Next year, the Ministry of Personnel should be short of manpower. I'll have to trouble County Magistrate He first." Zhang Xiaobao was prepared to let his father be an assistant minister in the Ministry of Personnel next year, so he could bring He Yiwei along.
He Yiwei replied gratefully, "Good, good. That's good. I won't feel aggrieved. I won't feel aggrieved at all."
He really didn't feel aggrieved. He would be able to enter the capital next year. It was indeed not bad. The Zhang Family and Wang Family could decide what officials they wanted. If they said they would enter next year, they would definitely be able to enter. How bad would it be to follow such a person?
"Xiao Bao, Cuckoo, why did you get into trouble again?" At this moment, the Old Man Pi and company rushed over with their guards. The moment the Old Man Pi appeared, he asked Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan unhappily.
"Grandpa Bi is here. Someone has taken a fancy to Cuckoo and wants to marry her as a concubine. My family's Cherries is also not going to let her go. The eldest son of Wang Maozhong's Butler is very powerful. What about Xiao Bao?"
Zhang Xiaobao said 'aggrieved'.
The Old Man Pi and company didn't ask in detail. When someone came to report that Xiao Bao and Cuckoo were fighting with someone, they didn't have time to ask and directly brought people over. Now that they heard Zhang Xiaobao's words, their eyes widened.
"The eldest son of Wang Maozhong's Butler? You guys beat him up? "
"We beat him up. Not only him, but also the other four people. We beat them up. All of their teeth were knocked out and their legs were broken. What should we do, Grandpa Bi? Will there be trouble?" Zhang Xiaobao looked worried.
"They beat them up well. Only their legs are broken. What about their arms? Cuckoo, let Grandpa take a look. It's all Grandpa's fault. Grandpa is too late and let Cuckoo be wronged. "
Old Man Chang interrupted and pulled Wang Juan over. He looked left and right, afraid that she would get hurt. His heart ached.
Wang Juan felt that the three old men were really interesting. She stuck out her tongue and said, "Grandpa Zhang, don't worry. Cuckoo didn't make a move. Everyone helped to beat them down."
"Well, I guess so. If Cuckoo made a move, the five of them would have been dead. Don't worry, leave it to Grandpa. Since they bullied Cuckoo, they're just a few servants. Don't go back."
Old Man Chang touched Cuckoo's head. Although he was always scheming with Cuckoo and Xiao Bao, when something really happened, he couldn't let the two little guys be wronged. Who would dare to be Cuckoo's concubine?
Old Man Yao also chimed in. "Wang Maozhong sent people over to apologize this time. I'll pretend that nothing happened. If he dares to cause trouble again, I'll see how many people in Tang still remember me."
"I'll impeach him now." Old Man Pi didn't want to ask more about the specific situation. He knew that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan weren't people who would take the initiative to cause trouble. Usually, when they met an opponent, they would take a step back and give the opponent a chance to choose. Why did He Yiwei come over? It was because he didn't do a good job in the past and sent himself to be punished.
Xiao Bao and Cuckoo didn't say that they would do anything to He Yiwei immediately. Fortunately, He Yiwei was sensible and knew what to do immediately. If someone was thinking about Cuckoo, even if it was just words, Xiao Bao wouldn't agree. Usually, Xiao Bao often cooked for Cuckoo.
Yes, it was Wang Maozhong's fault. They had to impeach him directly.
After the three old men comforted Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, they went back to write letters. Old Man Pi and Old Man Yao directly impeached Wang Maozhong. Old Man Chang wrote a letter to Zhang Jiuling and asked him to help. This time, regardless of who was in charge, they had to suppress Wang Maozhong. Without Wang Maozhong, Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan could replace him. Without Wang Maozhong, who could replace him?
When Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan saw that the three old men had gone to help, they felt that today's opportunity was very good. With a call, the people who helped were all invited to the Fengwu Pavilion to treat everyone to a meal.
The owner of the Fengwu Pavilion first wrote a letter and sent it away. Then, he arranged the place and asked the chef to cook well. The Fengwu Pavilion would treat this meal.
The five people who were captured and interrogated were miserable. The bailiffs personally took action. Their methods were numerous. They were interrogated separately. As long as someone said something different, they would immediately be punished.
If it was just this, it would not be a big deal. However, the bailiffs were ordered to get more useful information. How could it be useful? Naturally, they would say whatever they were told.
After a round of interrogation, they obtained a lot of information. The five people who were tortured to the point where they did not look human said whatever they were told. In the end, they pressed their fingerprints.
After the bailiffs finished interrogating them, the people brought by Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan continued to interrogate them. They were like light bulbs that did not sleep. Every once in a while, they would change people. Some of the questions they asked were questions they had asked before, and some were questions they had never asked before.
After three days of continuous interrogation, as long as the five people opened their mouths, they would ask what Wang Maozhong had done. It was very uniform. If they asked anything else, they would not get anything.
Anyone who knew this situation was more and more afraid of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan. This method was proposed by the two of them. Zhang Xiaobao finally did not kill them, but making them look like idiots was probably worse than killing them.
Wang Juan also came up with a lot of ideas. She was most familiar with this kind of torture at that time. Unless a person had been specially trained and needed the help of drugs, ordinary people would not be able to withstand this method.
"Xiao Bao, it's easy now. What are you writing?" Wang Juan asked Zhang Xiaobao after seeing the things that were interrogated.
"I'm writing a method to extort a confession. Give it to my godfather. This should be very useful to him. Is it really unacceptable to be a eunuch?"
