One touch and one silence

"Where is the lawyer? Go and get me the dowry list of Tang Bofang's first wife."

"Don't worry!"

"It will be your turn soon."

The lawyer was dragged to the door and pasted the papers in his hand one by one on a notice board brought by the yamen runner behind him.

Nanzhi took the opportunity to ask Yuan Wuqing what kind of punishment they would receive for blocking the government office.

Yuan Wuqing looked at Nanzhi, bewildered. What kind of punishment should she give? Just drive her away?

"There is no punishment, but serious cases will be thrown into prison."

Nanzhi was speechless when he heard this, "What if it's a crime of provoking the government?"

"Yes, I have. I will be fined some silver and spend an extra half month in jail."

Nanzhi heard that there was something going on. "Then where do you think these people came from? Is it someone behind the scenes who is trying to sow discord between them and our Dali Temple?"

“Has this person committed a crime?”

Nanzhi patiently guided Yuan Wuqing, and Yuan Wuqing felt that Nanzhi's words made sense for some reason.

"Old man, since you are a clan elder, you must know what the crime of provoking the government is, right? Are you really the clan elder of Tang Bofang? Why do I feel that he is here to harm you? Why didn't he come, and his wife didn't come either, and let you guys come out to surround the Dali Temple?"

"And the money is his. Even if they can honor you, how much money can they give you? Is it worth it for so many of you to work for him? I see these dozens of people, they are the future of your clan, are you really willing to give them up?"

"Once they are in prison, do you think they still have a chance to pass the imperial examination? They will be put on the blacklist."

Yuan Wuqing: ????

What the hell?

What are blacklists and whitelists?

What on earth was this prince talking about? He knew every word, but when they were put together, how could he not know?

Nanzhi’s last sentence was pure nonsense, but it was precisely the last sentence that scared the old man.

Everything else is fine except the imperial examination.

Wouldn't that be the end of them?

"This is my fault, I hope you won't blame them. I am willing to take full responsibility, I hope you will show mercy."

He had just seen the dowry, a full one million taels of silver. Tang Bofang had never mentioned this matter before. Now, for the entire Tang family, let alone one million taels, three hundred thousand taels would be considered good.

"In that case, I will give you a chance. I hope that old man will use your brain before doing anything next time, and don't let others use you as a knife." Seeing that he knew how to repent, Nanzhi let him go.

"I am ashamed!"

Nanzhi waved to the yamen runners who were escorting the Tang family members, and they released them.

The old man bowed to Nanzhi gratefully and said, "Thank you, sir. I will take my leave. As for this matter, I was also concealed by Tang Bofang's kid. The Tang family did rise because of the dowry of the late lady. As for how much was consumed, I don't know. At that time, they didn't tell our clan that her daughter-in-law brought so much money as a dowry. Otherwise, we would not be ashamed to come here today."

"Farewell!"

After saying this, he took the Tang family's men and left the Dali Temple.

Nanzhi looked at the remaining people and wanted to run away, but he was surrounded by the yamen runners who were waiting for an opportunity.

"Okay, now let's talk about the onlookers. Have you finished watching? Do you want to leave? Leave as soon as possible, or you may not be able to leave soon."

Nanzhi smiled at the crowd, and this smile was so creepy.

Many people were so scared that they left on the spot, fearing that they would be sent to jail.

Nanzhi looked at the twenty or so people left and a smile appeared on her face.

She looked around and found that there were scholars, young people, and a few elderly people.

Nanzhi randomly picked someone who looked good and waved at him.

"You! Come here and tell me why you can't stand it. I'm a good person, so I'll give you a chance!"

The man was frightened by Nanzhi and trembled. He turned around and wanted to run, but his way was blocked by the yamen runners behind him.

Two yamen runners pulled the man to Nanzhi's front and made him kneel down.

Nanzhi got down from the chair and reached out to lift the man's chin.

Yo!

I didn't expect that it was still owned.

Interesting! Interesting!

"Catch him and send him back to the residence of Minister Xu. Ask them to pay for his ransom. Remember to ask for more. You dare to trouble me, how can you not pay a price? As for the silver, share it with these brothers in the Dali Temple. We brothers can't work in vain!"

Nanzhi suddenly felt that sometimes, having status and position is quite good.

At least she could give herself justice.

Nanzhi walked to the people who were captured individually, and raised his hand to grab the skinny guy again. This guy was so worthless that Nanzhi didn't even bother to look at him.

"Don't worry about who this man belongs to. He has killed someone. Interrogate him thoroughly! Kill him if necessary."

After saying that, she walked to the fat and greasy man. Just smelling the odor on him made people feel sick. He was not clean and was always covered in greasy stains. Nanzhi really disliked this man.

She doesn't want to touch it, so let Yuan Wuqing check it herself!

Nanzhi lost interest. Was there someone waiting for her in the room? She had to go check it out.

When Nanzhi turned around, the man who was being pressed down by the yamen runners instantly pushed the two yamen runners who were pressing him away with brute force.

With a murderous look on his face, a kitchen knife appeared from nowhere and chopped at Nanzhi's back.

Liu Yue saw from the corner of his eye that the fat man was trying to launch a sneak attack, so he kicked the kitchen knife out of his hand and kicked the man in the chest several times.

I didn't expect that after a few kicks, this guy didn't react at all and didn't even take a step back.

Yishi and others immediately took action and stepped forward to protect Nanzhi and took him back to the Dali Temple.

Who knew that a few killers suddenly appeared from below and started to chop at Nanzhi with knives.

Liu Yue quickly flew away from the area where the fat man was attacking, picked up Nanzhi, and brought him to the gate of Dali Temple.

When these people saw the man running away, they became bloodthirsty and started hacking at the innocent people around them.

In an instant, wailing was heard everywhere. Nanzhi narrowed his eyes and looked at the dozen people who were fighting with these people together with the yamen runners.

These people are much more powerful than those from yesterday.

It seems that the other party is targeting them and testing their abilities step by step.

The Jinwu Guards also arrived with their men at this time, and soon arrested everyone.

Liu Yue instructed them, "Remove your jaws, there is poison in their teeth."

Soon these people were defeated by Yishi and others.

The captain of the Jinwu Guard walked up to Nanzhi and knelt down respectfully.

"Your Highness, are you okay? His Majesty and the Crown Prince learned that you were surrounded in the Dali Temple, so they ordered me to come and rescue you."

"I am late, Your Highness, please forgive me!"

Nanzhi smiled and said, "It's not too late, it's just in time. Fortunately you guys are here. This fat guy is quite difficult to deal with."

Nanzhi said this and walked up to the fat man, no longer looking down on him. She twisted his ear hard and forced him to look up.

very good!
