119. All in one piece(1/2)

A large ship slowly sailed towards the dock of Hoxi Village.

Jiang Zhen deliberately hired some people to receive merchants from the dock. When he saw the big ship, someone immediately went up to help, let the ship lean on the shore, wait for the ship to dock, and someone went up to ask: "Where do you guys?"

The person who went up to ask asked was pushed away without waiting for their reply. 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 patted his butt and got up from the ground, and then looked at the people in front of him angrily.

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

The movement here naturally attracted the attention of people around.

The escorts under Jiang Zhen took turns to follow the boat. Those who didn't have to go out with the boat would stay at the dock to patrol, and then they would give two days off a month. As for when to ask for these two days off, those under his command could arrange whatever important things were, and he would not approve them.

He Chunsheng is the person patrolling today.

He Chunsheng followed Jiang Zhen for a long time and was already one of the heads in the escorts. Life was getting better and better. In the past, their family could be forced by Liu Heitou and almost destroyed. But now, Liu Heitou is his subordinate. It takes a minute to make trouble for others.

Seeing someone making trouble, He Chunsheng immediately brought people over: "Who are you? What are you here to do?" After the business of the escort agency grew, someone also came to cause trouble. He Chunsheng was quite alert now.

He Chunsheng and others have been following Jiang Zhen for more than a year. Jiang Zhen gave him generous money and the food was good. Although he could not be called tall, he was all dark and strong. They were wearing uniform clothes and had a sense of momentum.

The person who had been pushing people with great momentum before suddenly froze.

Zhou Maohe stood at the bow of the big ship, and naturally saw this scene. He frowned and came to the side of the ship, and shouted: "I am Zhou Maohe, the imperial envoy of the dynasty, who came here to handle the case! Please get out of here quickly!"

The imperial envoy He Chunsheng looked on the boat and saw a middle-aged man in official uniform standing on the boat. Beside him, there were people dressed in yamen runners.

The imperial envoy, who had only seen in operas before, is now appearing in front of him?

He Chunsheng was shocked. After a closer look, he found that the imperial envoy seemed familiar.

A few days ago, someone caused trouble at Zhao Liu's birthday party. He Chunsheng drove the person out. Isn't the person in front of him the person who caused trouble?

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

At first, the people who came down were fine, but later the people who came down... were all dressed up by yamen runners!

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

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

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

"Aunt Zhao, something is wrong, something happened." He Chunsheng said, and then rushed in quickly.

Jiang Zhen was looking at the account book. Seeing He Chunsheng running in hurriedly, Zhao Liu, who was holding Zhao Mingzhu, asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Boss, an imperial envoy came outside!" He Chunsheng said: "Last time Aunt Zhao celebrated her birthday, the person we drove out was the imperial envoy."

"Imperial Envoy?" Jiang Zhen was puzzled. He remembered that the middle-aged man who helped the Jiang family question him was here. That man was actually an imperial envoy?

He, an imperial envoy, helped the Jiang family to question himself what he was doing?

Jiang Zhen's heart was shocked, and almost immediately, he remembered the fact that the Jiang family had yelled to sue him.

Jiang Zhen used to threaten the Jiang family by entering the county government to cut people. At that time, he actually didn't understand ancient laws and even knew nothing about some aspects.

However, later, he specifically looked for the "Da Qi Law" and looked for some other information, and then found that some ancient laws were inexplicable to him.

For example, the "unfilial sin".

In ancient times, the crime of unfilial piety was very serious. In the previous dynasty, there was even a law like "those who swear grandparents and parents". To be explained, it was to insult parents and grandparents and would be hanged.

If you scold your parents, you will be hanged, let alone beat them up...

In addition, parents commit sins, and when their children are exposed, those who are children will also be hanged - the law clearly states, "Those who sue their grandparents and parents will be hanged."

Even if parents and grandparents are still separated or save money privately, they are guilty of unfilial crimes and are in jail.

In other words, if your parents are still here, you can’t even have private money... or it’s a crime!

When we arrived in Daqi, some punishments were changed. For example, if the parents agreed to separate the family, the children could be separated... If it weren't for this law before, it would be difficult for Jiang Zhen to separate the family, but there were still many that had not been corrected.

Of course, although the law exists, it is actually implemented differently.

Only when someone goes to the government to sue, the government will arrest and sentence people, but ordinary people dare not go to the government to sue.

However, isn't the Jiang family an ordinary person?

"Boss, what should I do? He brought a lot of yamen runners here. Those yamen runners 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, Jiang Zhen could not have made any arrangements or was completely unprepared.

He didn't treat the Jiang family, mainly because even if the Jiang family sued him, he wouldn't have any trouble - he married into the Zhao family!

Most of these laws are directed at the son who stayed at home. He has gone to other people's houses, so what else does it have to do with him?

In this world, there is no reason why a married daughter poaches her husband's family to support her parents.

"Jiang Zhen! Is it really okay?" Zhao Liu held his daughter and looked at Jiang Zhen worriedly.

"It's okay." Jiang Zhen comforted.

Zhao Liu believed Jiang Zhen 100%. Jiang Zhen said it was okay, so he felt relieved. However, at this moment, a yamen runner came in outside.

"Who is Jiang Zhen?" asked the head-in-chief.

"I am Jiang Zhen." Jiang Zhen admitted directly.

"Are you Jiang Zhen?" The captain looked at Jiang Zhen in surprise. He was here to arrest Jiang Zhen, and he also heard about Jiang Zhen's charge. After knowing that this man had beaten his parents and brothers and forced his parents to separate the family, he always thought that this man was a vicious person. Unexpectedly, the real person was completely different from what he imagined.

"He is Jiang Zhen, hurry up and take him down!" At this moment, Zhou Maohe brought people in from outside.

"Are you the imperial envoy Zhou?" Jiang Zhen looked at Zhou Maohe: "Mr. Zhou wants to capture me, but what is the charge?"

"You beat your parents, but your parents are still in different places and have a shortage of support for your parents!" Zhou Maohe said: "You are very unfilial!"

"Does Lord Zhou have evidence for the first crime? As for the last two... Lord Zhou knows that I have already married into the Zhao family?" Jiang Zhen said directly.

Jiang Zhen was not guilty at all, and he didn't feel that he had done something wrong at all.

But when Zhou Maohe saw him like this, he was so angry that he felt that this man was simply stubborn!

"Marrying should be the words of the matchmaker from your parents. You married into the Zhao family privately, and this matter is not counted! You can't even think of using this to get rid of the crime!" Zhou Maohe sneered.

Of course, he knew that Jiang Zhen had married into the Zhao family, and therefore he felt that this person was hopeless. Even if a big man couldn't marry his wife, he shouldn't have done himself like this... Of course, Jiang Zhen probably wasn't doing himself. He was just unfilial to his parents, and he actually threw away the surname given by his parents without thinking.

"Tie him for me!" Zhou Maohe said loudly.

Those constables and yamen runners all heard Zhou Maohe. After hearing this, many people surrounded Jiang Zhen and wanted to capture Jiang Zhen.

Jiang Zhen's face darkened.

He could see that this person was deliberately coming to cause trouble for him! I am afraid that this matter will not be good.

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

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

"Stop, what do you want to do?" Brother Zhao Jin hurriedly stopped Jiang Zhen.

The dust on the brick kiln was flying, which made it very easy to get himself dirty. He put on an old clothes outside his new clothes. In the past, he would take off the old clothes first and come over at the brick kiln, but this time he didn't do that because he was too anxious and he looked gray.

"Who are you? Don't hinder us from doing the job." Zhou Maohe's face calmed down when he saw Brother Zhao Jin's dirty look.

"I am his wife. What did he do? Do you want to arrest him?" Zhao Jin asked again.

This person turned out to be Jiang Zhen's wife? Zhou Maohe was stunned and then said, "Did this Jiang Zhen abuse you on weekdays? You..."

Zhou Mao and Ben wanted to ask a few questions, but suddenly they thought that they wanted to be a hundred-stop for their husbands with their wife, so they stopped asking, and said, "Catch Jiang Zhen away quickly! Take him to Hecheng County! I also have to examine the county magistrate of Hecheng County. Why did he shelter this person? He had no way to ask for advice!"

As soon as Zhou Mao said this, a yamen runner wanted to capture Jiang Zhen. Brother Zhao Jin was anxious and grabbed one of the yamen runners' hands and threw him out. After practicing with Jiang Zhen for a long time, his skills were getting better and better.

"Brother Jin!" Jiang Zhen shouted.

Brother Zhao Jin suddenly stopped the movements in his hand and looked at Jiang Zhen.

"Calm down." Jiang Zhen said.

Brother Zhao was very anxious just now, but now he felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on his head and calmed down suddenly.

After Jiang Zhen finished talking to Zhao Jin Ge, he said, "Mr. Zhou, you don't have to tie me up. I will follow you myself. I hope Mr. Zhou, you are really a good official, not a person who doesn't know the right or 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 prisoner at all.

Zhou Maohe couldn't help feeling depressed when he saw Jiang Zhen's straight back. He waved his sleeves and followed Jiang Zhen out.

Brother Zhao Jin watched them leave, his fists tightly clenched. He suddenly turned his head to look at He Chunsheng and asked, "What the hell is going on?"

"The imperial envoy said that the boss committed the crime of unfilial piety." He Chunsheng said that although he had also begun to recognize words, he had never read any books. He really didn't know the crime of unfilial piety.

"Brother Jin, what should I 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 get close. She was almost crying in a hurry.

As for Zhao Mingzhu, she had been stunned just now, but she curled her lips and then she couldn't help but fall down.

This child used to cry with heavy thunder and little rain, and often howled without a single drop of tears, but this time, the tears were like they couldn't stop and they sobbed.

If it were before, Brother Zhao Jin would definitely feel heartbroken, let alone Jiang Zhen, who was afraid he would be a little dear, so he started to coax him.

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

"I think about it..." Brother Zhao Jin said, his face pale.
