One hundred and ninetieth chapters only perish together
It is easy to find County Magistrate Ai. Zhu Da and the others saw it as soon as they entered the main hall of the inner house. Ai Zhengwen was wearing an official uniform and a black hat, sitting upright on the main hall. At a glance, he looked quite righteous.
This posture of wearing a robe and wearing a black veil on his head, and sitting upright is very intimidating. For most people in the world, officials are overwhelming, and this is not a joke. The moment they lifted the curtain and entered the house, only Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun continued to move forward, and the servants subconsciously paused for a few steps.
When I got closer, I found out that the magistrate's face was covered in cold sweat, his whole body was trembling, and he tried to keep his face tense, but the corners of his eyes and mouth were constantly twitching, a lively portrayal of a fierce and cowardly appearance.
"...you...you, can't...do you... want to kill the officials and rebel?" County Magistrate Ai stammered and questioned.
"I dare not." Zhu Da answered frankly.
This answer made the people in the room stunned, thinking that you didn't dare to come to the door to do anything. For a moment, the servants didn't dare to move. Then Zhu Da turned around and waved his hand, urging with a smile, "Don't be idle, go and circle the people, don't be too presumptuous when catching the female family."
Seeing Zhu Da's confident state, the servants dissipated their doubts and immediately became busy. Zhou Qingyun followed a few people to the back hall.
"Since you know that killing officials and rebelling is a serious crime to kill the nine clans, you dare... don't hurt my little one..." Ai Zhengwen then reacted. After saying a few words, he saw the servants entering the inner house area without any concern and shouted out immediately. When he noticed Zhu Da's smiley expression, he stopped and said with a tense face: "Since you know the pros and consciences, you still do such a traitor, trespassing into the court, and invading officials is also a crime of beheading and exile."
"No, you trespass into the court and violate officials. As long as the subordinates are not insulted and the officials are not disabled or killed, everything has been discussed. If they are really tortured, they will be investigated later. The unlucky one is the official." Zhu Da replied with a smile. County Magistrate Ai was stunned. He didn't expect Zhu Da to deal with this.
This matter is simple, but the people in the two capitals of the Ming Dynasty may only have such knowledge, Nanjing, Suzhou and Songjiang Prefecture, and only litigators and civil servants in other places have such judgments. Zhu Da is a young man who has not talked about the world, and his adoptive father, Qin Chuan, has never been to court, so it is impossible for him to know how to give such an answer.
But at this time, County Magistrate Ai was no longer as nervous as he began. The other party expressed his fear of killing the official and rebelling, and was willing to argue and reason. Then there was a lot of room for maneuver in this matter, and he was even at an advantage. When Ai Zhengwen thought of this, he couldn't help but sit up a little. The panic and despair on his face went all out, becoming more majestic and awe-inspiring. He coughed, reminding Zhu Da to pay attention. The other party was looking around, looking at the private house. He looked over and raised his hand and slapped him in the face!
Zhu Da was not polite, and did not leave any strength left. He slapped the magistrate in the face. With his strength, the slap was really heavy. Ai Zhengwen was tilted and almost fell off the chair. When he finally came over, his left cheek was already red and swollen, and the corners of his mouth were bloodshot. His hands subconsciously covered his face but hurt again. He hurriedly let go and looked at Zhu Da in great horror.
"You just think I dare not kill the officials and rebel, so you dare to use the king's law to seek money and kill life. Why do you think I have to wait for death?" Zhu Da's smile on his face did not change, and his tone asked in a normal tone.
This calm attitude and the slap just now made County Magistrate Ai even more terrified. He was not supposed to be a person of this age. Ai Zhengwen suddenly realized that he had made a wrong judgment. He thought that he was in the overall situation and talked endlessly with Master Hu. He thought that he opened a big net to get people. At that time, he would get money and kill people. He thought that he was an official, he was arrogant and looked down on all living beings, but he didn't expect that the other party was so terrible. He went into the mountains to hunt tigers. Don't think that the tiger skin and bones are valuable, but you should prepare for the funeral and think about the consequences of being eaten by a tiger in advance. The young man who was smiling in front of him was a tiger that ate people.
"...you...you...you...you...want to kill the official?" When asked again, Ai Zhengwen spoke in a tone and even cried.
"No, I won't kill you. Killing you is a big deal. I can't ask for help after I get into trouble. Besides, in Datong Border Town, the border troops will chase me and encircle me. They still want the money you can't get."
Hearing this answer, Magistrate Ai did not relax or be grateful at all. He was slapped by the slap just now. He no longer dared to make a judgment, but he was scheming in his heart. As long as he could save his life, as long as he could escape safely, and let you be rampant now. At that time, he would use the people and even ask the official army to fight for money, and even pay for family property. If he violated the rules of civil and military affairs, he would arrest you and cut you into pieces...
County Magistrate Ai was feeling harsh, but he heard Zhu Da say, "I can't kill you, but I can't leave. As long as you leave this yamen, you will use the regiment training, or even the official army, and you will definitely kill me soon."
When he was told about the central matter, Ai Zhengwen, who was sitting on the chair, trembled and his face turned extremely gray. Zhu Da could naturally guess why he reacted, but he sneered twice and continued, "I can't kill you, and I can't leave, so I have to stay in this house and disturb you for a while. The magistrate, if you want the whole family to be safe, then don't do anything to kill."
"Zhu Da, no, Mr. Zhu, Mr. Ai is willing to swear to the sky, make a poisonous oath, and make a swearing. He will never have any intention to Mr. Zhu in the future. If he violates his oath and is willing to be punished by the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth, today's affairs have hurt each other's decency, so let's forget it, forget it!" Ai Zhengwen bowed his hands in a vague manner, with a humble attitude, and made a full sense of seeking others.
"If you and I turn it upside down, will I swear you will believe it?" Zhu Da asked with a smile.
Magistrate Ai was going to answer accordingly, but after seeing Zhu Da's eyes, he immediately stammered and couldn't speak. Zhu Da shook his head and smiled: "Live together like this, our brothers guard the magistrate day and night. After you leave office, you will give you dozens of Cheng Yi. Please rest assured on weekdays. No one will be rude to your family, nor will you infringe on your property. As long as you don't seek death, we will not bother with you."
Ai Zhengwen was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but sighed, covering his face and was speechless. If he had such an experience and was unwilling to become a fish meat, he would have to do this.
"Please be content with Master Ai. If you didn't have this official robe to protect your body, your whole family would have gathered underground tomorrow." Zhu Da still spoke calmly, but made County Magistrate Ai tremble all over. He sat upright at the government office and listened to the news that the Fang family was destroyed and set fire, and he always felt a little untrue. But looking at the crowd who rushed in with a fierce slap in the face, the cruel incidents became real and substitutable, and Zhu Da's words began to make him frightened.
Speaking of this, there were crying and begging for mercy, and there were also urging and scolding. After a while, I saw the maids and others of the Ai family being driven into the main hall and into the side room next to me. The people of the Ai family were extremely frightened. As soon as they saw Ai Zhengwen sitting there, they subconsciously asked for help. After seeing his master's swollen cheeks and depressed expression, they could not say anything.
After a while, when he heard the movement of the woman, County Magistrate Ai became really nervous at this moment. He has been beaten and his weapons have become cold. Who would care about the chastity of his own women? These rough men are all young and full of energy, so who can control it? If they lose their reputation, their reputation will be over. It’s okay for the yellow-faced woman to say that she has married a concubine who has only been two years old.
When the female family entered the house, Ai Zhengwen felt relieved. Several female family members were dressed neatly. Although they were crying, they could not see any harm. They would come over after seeing him. However, Zhu Da's servants forced everyone with short spears. The spear blade was very frightening, but they also kept a certain distance.
"I have nothing to do, just be obedient. Don't cry and delay it." County Magistrate Ai waved his hand, which surprised the crying family members. He also entered the side room while urging him.
"Young Master Zhu, can you separate my family members from the servants, and make men and women defend themselves, and spread bad reputations. Ai must restrain his family and make everyone honest and obedient."
"No rush now, I will give you this face, but it's hard to deal with people when they are separated. Anyone who wants to go out to report the message and ask for reinforcements is troublesome. At that time, you must kill your whole family and then go out of the city. You have to think clearly about the consequences." Zhu Da explained in detail.
"I know, I know, please rest assured Mr. Zhu. Ai will definitely control his family and not do stupid things. Ai will be transferred to the post in two years at the latest. If he can survive in the past two years, his life will be important after all. Since Mr. Zhu knows the general idea, Ai will not ask for trouble."
Once things are unfolded and the interests are clear, it is easy for people to make any choices. Zhu Da nodded and said, "It's not easy for me. I originally had to do a great career, but now I have to live with your family for a few years."
While he was talking, there was another noise outside. A man was pushed in without hesitation and lay directly on the ground. The man's long gown was damaged in several places, and his face was bruised. He looked up and shouted: "It was Ai Zhengwen's instructor, he was trying to murder Mr. Zhu when he saw the money. It was..."
This was Master Hu. He shouted and saw that the atmosphere was not right, and then he stopped talking. County Magistrate Ai's face was already as blue, and his swollen left face was still rosy.

"Smoke, smoke and dust, some riders come over, and there are still many people!"
"Did you recruit a group training team?"
"No one in the village has so many horses. Could it be the Tartars? Close the city gate quickly and beat the gong quickly!"
