The area outside Guzimen in Bianliang City was not too busy, and there were only a few pedestrians on the road. Fang Jinshi was thinking about asking someone to ask where the market was, when a subordinate of Liu Rumei who was walking behind him asked. Pulling on his clothes, Fang Jinshi turned around in confusion. The big man pointed to the top and said, "Master Fang, is someone calling you up there?"
Fang Jinshi followed his finger and looked up, and saw an officer on the second floor of a restaurant on the roadside holding the railing and looking down. Seeing him raise his head, he shouted loudly: "Fang Zhushi, Fang Zhishi, Fang Zhushi "The envoy" It turned out to be Fang Hongde, the chief official of Kaifeng Prefecture whom he met last night. Fang Jinshi just walked with his head down, and he didn't hear him shouting from above.
Fang Jinshi raised his head and said, "It turns out to be Brother Feng. I was just walking and didn't hear you calling me. No wonder."
Feng Hongde quickly came down from the second floor of the restaurant and walked to the street. He cupped his hands and said, "We are really destined to be Fang Zhishi. I didn't expect to see you here again. Let's go in and have a drink together?"
Fang Jinshi quickly declined: "That won't happen. Brother Feng seems to be busy with official duties. Don't waste your time by drinking. I'll invite Brother Feng next time."
Feng Hongde said: "There is no official business. The Hucao Yamen collects the cowhide and horn tax. They found that there were people selling cowhide in the market outside Guzimen to deduct the tax for the farmers. They were afraid that some unruly people would cause trouble, so they asked us to transfer some here. Send people to give them a strong momentum and show off their power."
Fang Jinshi was moved after hearing this and asked, "Brother Feng, are you familiar with this Guzimen Market?"
Just as Fang Jinshi was about to speak again, an official from a distance ran over in a panic and shouted: "Quick, quick, quick, the fight is about to begin."
Feng Hongde's expression tightened, and he ran to the restaurant and shouted. Thirty or forty official servants who were having a drink in the restaurant poured out one after another and ran to the west. Feng Hongde quickly gave an urgent greeting to Fang Jinshi and led the officials Went together.
Liu Rumei said to Fang Jinshi: "Let's go and see the excitement."
Fang Jinshi thought about it and went to inquire about Zhu Noi Jiu, so he agreed and led everyone to follow the officials.
Several people came to the west market. Fang Jinshi and others saw a lot of people gathered in front of a stall from a distance, so they walked closer to take a look. They saw that several meat stalls here were in a mess, and the sheds they had built had long been pulled down. A lot of pork and mutton were thrown on the ground. Seven or eight officers either fell to the ground and pretended to be dead, or sat on the side to breathe and rest. There was also a man who was covering his bleeding forehead with his hand and telling something to the officers who had just arrived for support.
Gou Hongde stood on the spot, looking at the back room of the butcher shop with a sullen face. Not long after, seven or eight officials pushed and shoved a tall and thin man out of the inside. He had a legless futou wearing a soft hat, a red nose, and a somewhat ugly appearance. His upper body was tied several times with chains by the officials, and his hands were not free. He was dragged to the open space outside the venue by the officials.
Before Fang Jinshi could say anything, Liu Rumei shouted from the side: "It turns out to be that monk." This man's face was so impressive, especially the red nose. Fang Jinshi and Liu Rumei had just met Luo Laohu not long ago. When Song Qian saw this man, he was wearing a monk's robes and had no head. He came to deliver medicine to Luo Huhu and take care of the doctor. At that time, Song Qian also said that the monk smelled of lard, and there were lard stains on his clothes and shoes. It turned out that this fake monk was also Kill pigs and sell meat.
There are very few people who kill pigs while serving as monks and offering sacrifices to others. Liu Rumei said to Fang Jinshi, "Look at the red nose of this butcher monk. Could it be the pig with the nose you are looking for?"
Fang Jinshi had already thought of it, scratched his head and said, "I'm afraid 90% of the time it's him."
Several more officers came forward, crossed their sticks on the man's shoulders, and pushed him down to the ground. The butcher sat on the ground with angry veins on his forehead, as if he was extremely unconvinced.
??Feng Hongde looked at the butcher and asked the policeman next to him who was bleeding and covering his forehead: "Is he this person?"
The police officer said: "It's him. His nickname is Pig Nose Nine. He is a well-known rogue in the neighborhood. He is very fierce."
Pig Nose Jiu said: "Didn't he tell you just now? So is Pig Nose Jiu."
"That's your nickname. What's your nickname?" Go Hongde pulled a stool and sat in front of him. Pig Nose looked at him without answering. Gou Hongde said again: "I don't think so, right? Then I won¡¯t ask any more questions. I¡¯ll arrest him as a bandit and lock him up for a few years.¡±
Pig¡¯s nose quivered for a moment, and he said bitterly: ¡°The younger one¡¯s surname is Cui, and the older one¡¯s name is Cui Wenyu.¡±
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Such an elegant name, not bad. "He didn't expect it, nor did he expect to enter the stone when he was standing not far away. What's more important is that the pig-nosed nine is actually named Cui. As he spoke, two policemen carried dozens of pictures from Cui Wenyu's butcher shop. The cowhide came out and was thrown in front of me.
Feng Hongde kicked the cowhide in front of him and asked, "What else do you have to say?"
Cui Wenyu said: "I have nothing to say, but I don't understand. Since cowhide can be used as armor, the imperial law prohibits private transactions in cowhide. It can only be sold to the government. However, the imperial court also levies a tax on cowhide and sinews. Anyone who grows crops For every ten hectares of land, one cowhide including the horns must be paid, and the government strictly controls the slaughter of farm cattle. Where does the cowhide and horns confiscated from the farmers come from? Let me explain clearly."
Gou Hongde was stunned. In fact, he also knew that the imperial court had inconsistencies between the beef tendon tax law and the imperial laws. In peacetime, everyone naturally focused on collecting taxes. For such a small violation of the imperial laws, Most of them just let it go. At this time, Cui Wenyu questioned him face to face. Of course, Gou Hongde could not criticize the court's legal system in public. He stood up and said: "You are a little unruly person who dares to arbitrarily discuss the court's laws. You refuse to pay taxes and even beat the court officials. It seems that you are used to wandering around the countryside and don't realize that the court's laws are strict."
Cui Wenyu said: "You dissatisfied villain, you can ask the neighbors here, when did I go wild in the countryside, but the official came to my shop, took away the cowhide indiscriminately, and said he would close my shop and re-open it." As a punishment, I just keep some cowhide in my house, and there is nothing in Song Xingtong that prohibits this."
Feng Hongde smiled and said: "You still know the laws of the Song Dynasty, which is very good. Then go to the court and talk to the magistrate." After saying that, he waved his hand to ask the officers to take him away. Cui Wenyu said anxiously: " Mr. Chai, why don¡¯t I accept the punishment? It¡¯s not easy to earn money with hard work, so I hope Mr. Chai will show his kindness. I will treat these injured Mr. Chai and pay them money for treatment. I just ask Mr. Chai not to close down my shop."
Feng Hongde said: "You can tell the official these things, but if you ask for mercy now, I'm afraid it will be too late."
Just when Cui Wenyu was about to say something, an officer behind him slapped him on the head and cursed: "If I had known today, why would you be so arrogant in the first place?" This slap suddenly made his head go soft. The hat fell to the ground. When the officials saw that he had a bald head under the hat, they couldn't help but burst into laughter. The people watching also laughed together.
An officer touched his head with his hand and smiled and said: "It turns out he is still a fake monk. Is he killing animals and selling meat while being compassionate at the same time? How can he achieve Zhengtong in this way?"
Cui Wenyu dodged his palm, shouted in a low voice with fire in his eyes: "Master, please don't bully others too much."
The police officer smiled and said, "I bullied you, so what?"
Cui Wenyu shouted loudly and bumped into the official. The official was knocked back a few steps and couldn't get up for a long time. Cui Wenyu bumped his shoulder left and right, knocking the official who was holding the chain on his shoulder several times and knocked him to the ground. Seeing that something was not going well, Gou Hongde drew his knife in his hand and shouted: "Stop." Cui Wenping came towards his knife with an iron chain in his hand. Gou Hongde cut open the iron chain that bound his right arm, and Cui Wenyu With his right hand, he grabbed an officer next to him and threw it at Gou Hongde. He was afraid of accidentally injuring his companions, so he had to withdraw his sword and go to catch it. Cui Wenyu stepped forward and hit him, knocking three or four officers away. The officers all came forward to besiege him. Cui Wenyu held an iron chain and struck the lower legs and legs of the officers. The officers immediately turned over a large area to make way for him.
Cui Wenyu broke out of the siege. There were many people in the market, and he had already disappeared before the officials caught up with him.
Li Bagan stood watching from a distance and couldn't help but praise: "This man is really good at his skills."
