Just over two hours later, Zhang Tie once again saw the young thief who stole his money at the end of a remote alley in a residential area east of Youzhou City. ◎Dian Dian Novel, 2+3wx

When Zhang Tie arrived, although there was still wind and snow in the sky, the 100 meters around the alley, including the walls and roofs, were already covered with people wearing solemn black uniforms and carrying bows. Weapons such as crossbows and sabers are as densely packed with prisoners in Tingwei Temple as black and impermanent.

"Let those people standing on the roofs and walls come down. Those who are celebrating the New Year, don't scare them!" Before walking into the alley, Zhang Tie calmly ordered the people around him.

After listening to Zhang Tie's words, the people around him just made a gesture, and the prisoners of Youzhou City who were standing on the eaves of the roof disappeared one by one.

The person waving next to Zhang Tie was an old man. His eyebrows were as serious as iron, his eyebrows were a bit sinister, and his face was unsmiling. This old man was Ting Weicheng of Tingwei Temple in Youzhou, who was equivalent to Zhang Tie's deputy, Zhang Tie. When he is not in Tingwei Temple, it is Tingweicheng who is in charge of Tingwei Temple.

Ting Weicheng of Tingwei Temple in Youzhou is no stranger to Zhang Tie. The two have known each other since they were in Huaiyuan County. That time, Zhang Tie returned to the Zhang family's old house for the first time after becoming a knight, and they happened to meet each other. The old man's eldest wife had a birthday. Because of the Wang family's daughter, some unscrupulous sons of the Zhang family caused some dirty things during the birthday banquet. At that time, Zhang Tie Zhao came to rescue him and also taught a few unscrupulous sons and grandsons in the old house a lesson. It was none other than Zhang Yuanshan, the chief minister of Jinhaicheng at that time.

The position of Da Si Lu in Huaiyuantang is the family's criminal law and justice. Huaiyuantang asked Zhang Yuanshan to be the Tingweicheng of Tingwei Temple. For Zhang Tie, they just complemented each other.

Compared to Zhang Tie, Zhang Yuanshan's sophistication and experience in criminal law and justice, as well as his cold and capable ability gained from working in the Huaiyuantang Criminal Law Pavilion, are the best complement to Zhang Tie.

Earl Changfeng is very good at arranging people. During the days when Zhang Tie was no longer in Youzhou City, Zhang Yuanshan was in charge of Tingwei Temple. Everything was in order. In the entire Youzhou territory, nothing within the scope of Tingwei Temple's responsibilities had happened. A bit of trouble.

It was precisely because of this that Zhang Tiecai was particularly angry at Tuntang's sinister impeachment.

In this alley, there are some debris from residential areas piled up. Those debris are all chicken coops, briquettes, piles of briquettes and broken boxes. They are the same as other places. No matter how good Taixia is, no matter how big Youzhou City is, , in this city, there are also poor and rich people. Some people's residences can be splendid, with pavilions and pavilions. Some people and their families can only squeeze into a house of tens of square meters in ordinary residential areas - here , which is where the latter kind of people gather.

In a big city like Youzhou City, flowers and sunshine are not everywhere. In places where there are no flowers and less sunshine, there are still people living.

The falling snowflakes covered the debris in the alley, and the pile was almost a foot thick.

There is some dirt on the ground in the alley, which is snow that has been melted by the footsteps of countless people. On the snow that has not yet completely melted, you can even see the leopard-head boots worn by the Youzhou prisoners. The clear lines on the soles of the boots...

The footprints left on the snow also silently told how many criminals had entered this alley before Zhang Tie came here.

Even the residents in the nearby residential area did not expect that this place would one day gather so many Sansi Yamen like wolves and tigers to arrest people. No matter which continent they are in, anyone who can do well in this profession

If you are a good person, it is probably difficult to find a few people who can make people look like and feel amiable. How can such a person be able to suppress a group of petty evildoers and bullies?

On this snowy day, the prisoners from Tingwei Temple in Youzhou City appeared here, like black vultures, always carrying some ominous aura that made ordinary people afraid. People in nearby residential areas, at this time,

Every household had their curtains drawn, and those who were brave enough only dared to go behind the curtains and look around quietly.

When he reached the bottom of the alley and turned a corner, Zhang Tie saw the young man with whom he had just met in the morning.

The man looked like a discarded broken tree root, lying face down next to a pile of debris packed in burlap bags. A layer of snowflakes had accumulated on his body, and he was no longer breathing.

There was silence all around.

Zhang Tie sighed, squatted down in front of the man's body, and turned the man's body over.

It was a young and thin face, looking only thirteen or fourteen years old. When Zhang Tie turned him over, the face had lost all its color, and corresponding to it, that person

There was a pool of bright red blood on the clothes he was wearing around his heart. Because the weather was too cold, the blood on that person had been frozen before it even flowed out, so there wasn't much blood on the ground around that person.

The man's eyes were still open, staring at the gloomy sky, with an expression of pain and surprise on his face.

Zhang Tie looked at this face seriously. He did not expect that the young man he had just met this morning would turn into a cold corpse at this time. It was just an ordinary theft. Even if he was caught

, he was released from prison after a year and a half, and he still had a chance to start a new life. Why would this happen, Zhang Tie sighed in his heart.

"This man's name is Lu Xiaoshuang. He is homeless and unemployed. A few years ago, when the Northeast Protectorate decided to build Youzhou City, it was said that millions of people entered Youzhou. He came with the construction army and those who wanted to find opportunities.

, was originally just a beggar, doing small things like running errands and spreading messages for people in the city to earn a living. Two years ago, a gangster in Youzhou City, Wang Wu, took him in and taught him pickpocketing skills. Lu Xiaoshuang was just

Follow Wang Wu and make a living by pickpocketing under Wang Wu. Two hours ago, someone saw Wang Wu and Lu Xiaoshuang walking into this alleyway together. In the end, only Wang Wu left!" Zhang Yuanshan introduced the following feedback from the side.

According to the latest situation, "Wang Wu's body was also found in his home. He had committed suicide by taking medicine. In addition to Lu Xiaoshuang, Wang Wu had seven or eight other thieves under his command. All of those thieves have been arrested by the court at this time.

The arrest was made by Wei Temple and is being interrogated at the moment!"

Zhang Tie listened. He didn't say anything and just put his hand on Lu Xiaoshuang's face. He seemed to want to close Lu Xiaoshuang's eyes.

To the people nearby, there was nothing strange about Zhang Tie's actions, it was just Lord Ting Wei's expression of compassion. Therefore, Zhang Tie's hand covered Lu Xiaoshuang's head for a few seconds, and everything happened naturally.

No one knew that what Zhang Tie "saw" and "heard" in his mind at this moment was already a different scene.

Zhang Tie lowered his head and seemed to be watching Lu Xiaoshuang. Naturally, others could not see the strange light flashing in Zhang Tie's eyes.

After Zhang Yuanshan finished speaking, Zhang Tie's fingers trembled slightly, and then he wiped it down gently. When Zhang Tie's hand left Lu Xiaoshuang's face, Lu Xiaoshuang had already closed his eyes.

Zhang Tie stood up and sighed again, as if he was losing interest, "Find a place and bury him properly. Just use the few gold coins you found that I lost to buy a good coffin. In addition,

There is no need to interrogate those little thieves. They are all poor and helpless people. They were sent to the Yitang in Youzhou City and asked to be taken care of and taught by the good people of the Yitang. All Wang Wu’s property was confiscated and the materials obtained were confiscated.

Send them all to the Yitang. In addition, I will give 100,000 gold coins from my salary this year. They will also be sent to the Yitang of Youzhou City, so that the Yitang will pay attention to the homeless young people and beggars in and outside Youzhou City. You must order them.

Don't let the traitors take advantage of you and lead you astray!"

After listening to Zhang Tie's words, Zhang Yuanshan's face straightened, he bowed his hands and greeted Zhang Tie, "Sir, you are kind!"

It can be said that because of Zhang Tie’s words today and the donation of 100,000 gold coins, homeless teenagers and beggars in Youzhou City will have another way out from now on. 100,000 gold coins are not a small thing.

The amount, even if this money is only deposited in the bank every year, the interest will be enough for Youzhou Yitang to adopt and educate thousands more orphans and beggars every year.

The Yitang of Youzhou City was officially established and put into operation only two days after the dispute over the governor of Youzhou came to an end. Naturally, everything was started from scratch, and there were many things that could not be taken care of. In the past, Youzhou had not been upgraded.

Before the founding of the People's Republic of China, there was no righteous hall in the newly built Youzhou City.

Zhang Tie smiled and seemed to have forgotten this "little thing", "Okay, go back and follow me to other places in Youzhou City to see if there is anything else that needs attention in Youzhou City."

It’s the New Year in our place, let the people of Youzhou City have a peaceful New Year!”

…

Lord Tingwei was about to leave here, and a wolf-like prisoner and an official from the Third Division in Tingwei Temple naturally followed suit. Naturally, someone would carry out the words Zhang Tie told him.

In the next more than an hour, Zhang Tie really took a group of officials and prisoners from Tingwei Temple and walked around Youzhou City in the wind and snow. Although it was not as fast as a tiger crossing the street,

But wherever the big shots from the Sansi Yamen went, the ordinary people in Youzhou City stayed away and did not dare to approach them easily.

Within these few hours, Youzhou City experienced a brief but fierce "severe crackdown" before the Chinese New Year. In the prison of Tingwei Temple, there were more than a hundred clandestine Fox Clubs.

Shu Heping is a gangster who usually has a bad reputation. Those people are probably going to spend the New Year in prison. In front of ordinary people, these people usually act arrogantly, but in front of the arresters and officials of the Sansi Iron Yamen, these people are simply

It's no exaggeration to say that a mouse is better behaved than a cat.

After walking around Youzhou City, Zhang Tie returned to Tingwei Temple.

After the others left, Zhang Yuanshan came over, his face a little more serious, "Sir, what happened today is a little strange!"

Zhang Tie's eyes moved, but he laughed and said lightly, "It's indeed a bit strange. I'm looking for someone here, but something happened to the person over there. It seems that among the three yamen of Youzhou City

, someone is showing off to the outside world. There are so many people spreading words to the outside world at any time. Small things have become big things. After the New Year, you should do a good screening. Although some of the people working below in Tingwei Temple are people from all walks of life.

Everyone has a close relationship with each other, but it’s not good if the staff is too mixed. Those who should be eliminated should be eliminated!”

Zhang Yuanshan looked at Zhang Tie's face and seemed to want to say something else, but Zhang Tie had already waved his hand, "Let's end this matter here. It's the New Year, so don't make it difficult for everyone to have a good New Year!"

After hearing Zhang Tie's words, Zhang Yuanshan swallowed back the words in his stomach, and then bowed to exit. As a person who has experienced the world, and in a strict institution like Tingwei Temple, he is very

I understand what I should say and do as Zhang Tie's deputy. There is indeed something fishy about this matter, but Mr. Tingwei doesn't seem to want to make this matter too big during the Chinese New Year. If we continue to pursue it, then...

That's it. In the final analysis, only two insignificant people died.

"By the way, are there any people on duty at Tingwei Temple during the Chinese New Year?" Seeing Zhang Yuanshan about to withdraw, Zhang Tie seemed to have remembered something and asked in a casual tone.

"During the Chinese New Year, the lower officials will be on duty at Tingwei Temple, and the officials in the other three divisions will also be on duty in shifts."

"That's good. The young deacons from Huaiyuan Hall who entered Tingwei Temple should not go back during the Chinese New Year. They should exercise more in Tingwei Temple and become more familiar with the business at hand. I don't know how many people are watching now.

We, Huaiyuantang, don’t let people see our Huaiyuantang’s jokes. As a disciple of an important institution like Tingwei Temple, as a disciple of Huaiyuantang, at this time, we have to make a show to show others!"

"Yes, I will arrange it later!" Zhang Tie made sense, and Zhang Yuanshan accepted the order.

Zhang Tie nodded and said with some self-deprecation. "Today I came to Tingwei Temple and walked around again. Originally, I just wanted to see again whether the entrance of Tingwei Temple faces south or north, and let those who have never seen me see it.

See what I, the Youzhou Tingwei, look like, and save others the trouble of gossiping. I didn’t expect such bad things to happen, forget it, I have to go back to Golden Crow City..."

Zhang Tie dared to let the children of the Huaiyuantang family stay in Tingwei Temple to exercise during the Chinese New Year. But no one dared to let Zhang Tie stay in Tingwei Temple to exercise during the Chinese New Year. In this case, Zhang Taixuan probably did not dare to follow Zhang Tie

Say it out loud.

…

Half an hour later, Zhang Tie got on the airship again. After leaving Youzhou City, all the officials from Tingwei Temple went to see Zhang Tie off.

Lord Tingwei came to Youzhou City once and did a little beating, which not only cheered up the officials in Tingwei Temple, but also made Youzhou City a little cleaner before the New Year. There is no doubt that this year,

During the Chinese New Year, the number of cases of things being lost at home and outside the home in Youzhou City will definitely be greatly reduced.

Watching Zhang Tie board the airship and leave, some people in Youzhou City breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

On the airship, Zhang Tie looked at Youzhou City, which had shrunk again under his feet, with a cold light flashing in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth pursed tightly unknowingly.

Although the people below said that they had found his wallet and gold coins and showed them to him that the wallet was real and the gold coins in the wallet were real and the number was the same, Zhang Tie knew that those gold coins were not his.

The gold coin, the gold coin he marked with the trace, is still somewhere in Youzhou City.

For such a long time, after Lu Xiaoshuang touched the wallet and handed it over, those gold coins had already been transferred back and forth to other people's hands twice.

Those people are very efficient and very well organized.

Lu Xiaoshuang has followed Wang Wu for many years and has vaguely known and seen some things.

Especially before death...

At that last moment, what Lu Xiaoxiao saw in his eyes was Wang Wu's face that suddenly became ferocious, and then there was a sharp pain in his heart.

Lu Xiaoshuang fell down, and the last voice he heard was a strange voice and the last few words of Wang Wu's conversation——
