    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.  ¡òThe top 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 densely packed with prisoners in Tingwei Temple, just like black and impermanent.

    "Let those people standing on the roofs and walls come down. Those who are celebrating the New Year, don't scare people!" 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.  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 happened to meet him.  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 post of Grand Silu in Huaiyuantang controls the criminal law and justice of the family. Huaiyuantang asked Zhang Yuanshan to be the Tingweicheng of Tingwei Temple. For Zhang Tie.  Just complement each other.

    ¡°Compared to Zhang Tie, Zhang Yuanshan is more sophisticated and experienced in criminal law and justice.  There is also the cold, solemn and capable ability that he developed in the Huaiyuantang Xinglu Pavilion, which is the best complement to Zhang Tie.

    Count Changfeng is very good at arranging people.  In the days when Zhang Tie was no longer in Youzhou City, Zhang Yuanshan was in charge of Tingwei Temple, and everything was in order. There was no trouble in the entire Youzhou territory and within the scope of Tingwei Temple's responsibilities.

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

    In this alley, there are some debris from residential areas piled up.  Those debris are all chicken coops, briquettes, broken boxes and other things. Just like other places, no matter how good Taixia is, no matter how big Youzhou City is, there are also poor and rich people in this city, and some people  The residence can be resplendent with pavilions and pavilions.  Some families can only squeeze into a house of tens of square meters in an ordinary residential area - here is where the latter kind of people gather.

    In a big city like Youzhou City, there are not flowers and sunshine everywhere, but in places where there are no flowers and less sunshine.  There are also people surviving.

    The falling snowflakes covered the debris in the alley, and there was almost a foot of snow piled high.

    The ground in the alley is a little dirty, which is the 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 clear lines on the soles of the leopard-head boots worn by the Youzhou prisoners

    Those footprints left in the snow.  He was also talking silently, before Zhang Tie came here.  How many criminals have entered this alley?

    Even the residents in the nearby residential area did not expect that this place would one day gather so many people from the Sansi Yamen who were like wolves and tigers in the execution.  No matter which continent you are on, if you can do well in this profession, 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 bunch of little villains and bullies?  Fierce person.

    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 has drawn up their curtains, and those who are brave enough only dare to stand behind the curtains and look around quietly.

    Reaching the bottom of the alley and turning 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 to be only thirteen or fourteen years old. When Zhang Tie turned him over, the face had lost all the color, and corresponding to it, that person  The clothes I was wearing had a pool of bright red near my heart.Because the weather was too cold, the blood on that person was frozen before it even flowed out, so there was not 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 after a year and a half in prison, and he still had a chance to start a new life. Why would this happen, Zhang Tie sighed in his heart.

    "This person'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 the skills of pickpocketing. Lu Xiaoshuang was just  Following Wang Wu, Wang Wu made a living by pickpocketing. Two hours ago, someone saw Wang Wu and Lu Xiaoshuang walking into this alleyway. In the end, only Wang Wu left!" Zhang Yuanshan introduced the following feedback!  According to the latest situation, "Wang Wu's body was also found in his home. He had committed suicide by swallowing medicine. In addition to Lu Xiaoshuang, Wang Wu had seven or eight thieves under his command. All of those thieves have been arrested by the court at this time.  Weisi is arresting him and is currently interrogating him!¡±

    Zhang Tie listened.  Without saying anything, he just put his hand on Lu Xiaoshuang's face.  He seemed to want to close Lu Xiaoshuang's eyes.

    In the eyes of the people around him, there was nothing strange about Zhang Tie's actions, it was just an expression of compassion from Mr. Ting Wei. Therefore, Zhang Tie's hand covered Lu Xiaoshuang's head for a few seconds, and everything happened naturally.

    No one knows 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 helpless poor people. They are sent to the Yitang in Youzhou City to be taken care of and taught by the Yitang. All Wang Wu¡¯s property is confiscated.  Send them all to the Yitang. In addition, I will send 100,000 gold coins from my salary this year 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.  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, and he bowed down to greet 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 in the future. 100,000 gold coins are not a small thing.  The amount, even if the money is only deposited in the bank every year, the interest is enough for Youzhou Yitang to adopt and educate thousands more orphans and beggars every year.

    Youzhou City's Yitang was only officially established and put into operation these 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, follow me to other places in Youzhou City, and see if there is anything else that needs attention in Youzhou City."  It¡¯s time to celebrate the New Year in this place, let the people of Youzhou City have a peaceful New Year!¡±

    ¡­¡­

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

    In the next more than an hour, Zhang Tie really took a group of officials and criminals 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, more than a hundred clandestine Fox Clubs suddenly appeared.  Shupei is a ruffian and bully who usually doesn't have a good reputation.  I'm afraid those people will have 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 better behaved than mice after seeing a cat.?That's not an exaggeration at all.

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

    Waiting for the others to leave, Zhang Yuanshan came over, his face a little more serious, "Sir, there is something fishy about what happened today!"

    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. There are so many people spreading words to the outside at any time, and 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, 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!"

    After hearing Zhang Tie¡¯s words, Zhang Yuanshan swallowed back what he was saying, and then bowed to exit.  As a person who has experienced the world, and in a strict institution like Tingwei Temple, he knows very well what he should say as Zhang Tie's deputy.  Do something.  There is indeed something fishy about this matter, but Mr. Tingwei seems not to want to make this matter too big during the Chinese New Year.  If we pursue it further, then.  That¡¯s it for now.  In the final analysis, only two insignificant people died.

    "By the way, is there anyone on duty at Tingwei Temple during the New Year days?" 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 others see our Huaiyuantang¡¯s jokes. As a disciple of an important institution like Tingwei Temple, at this time, we have to make a show to show others!¡±

    "Yes, I will make arrangements 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 how the entrance of Tingwei Temple faces south and north, and also let those who have never seen me see what I, a Tingwei of Youzhou, look like.  I don¡¯t want others to gossip. I didn¡¯t expect these terrible 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 at Tingwei Temple for training during the Chinese New Year.  But no one dared to ask Zhang Tie to stay in Tingwei Temple to exercise during the Chinese New Year.  It is estimated that Zhang Taixuan did not dare to tell Zhang Tie.

    ¡­¡­

    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 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 get on the airship and leave, some people in Youzhou City breathed a heavy sigh of relief.

    On the airship, Zhang Tie looked at the Youzhou City that 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 between other people's hands.

    Those people are very efficient and very well organized.

    Lu Xiaoshuang has been following Wang Wu for these years, and he also vaguely knows and sees some things.

    Especially before death

    At that last moment, what Lu Xiaoyan 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¡ª¡ª

    "We are going to do big things in Youzhou in five days. At this time, we must not make any mistakes. That Zhang Mu is known as the Tiger of Youzhou, and a new official has taken office. He is just about to light a fire. Tingwei  There are many tricks in the temple prison. We have to guard against it. You will be wronged later. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, please tell them now.!  "

    "May Patriarch Tongtian rule the world, and in the next life, my disciples may wish to be the boy holding flowers in front of Patriarch" This voice was breathing heavily, with an inexplicable fanaticism.

    "Okay, I will tell the ancestor that this is the brain-breaking pill given by the altar master. If you take it, there will be no pain and you will be relieved"

    "Thank you, Protector Zuo. Please inform the altar master on behalf of Wang Wu that he will not be able to attend the golden basin hand-washing ceremony on the first day of the new year for his old man. Wang Wu will not be able to toast him in person"

    "Go with ease"

    In just a few words, Lu Xiaoshuang's consciousness fell into complete darkness with a sense of unwillingness

    Zhang Tie knew that the Brain-Breaking Pill was a very advanced poison. Compared with ordinary poisons, taking the Brain-Breaking Pill could not only quickly destroy a person's vitality, but also destroy the tissue structure of a person's brain, leaving a person  The human brain dies at the fastest speed. This is the fastest and cleanest way to die. Even if you die, it is impossible for anyone to learn anything from your brain.

    In the Hawaiian subcontinent, people who use Brain-Breaking Pills are dead soldiers or spies. Once they are caught, they will be killed with Brain-Breaking Pills. Moreover, the performance of suicide by taking Brain-Breaking Pills is similar to the use of "powerful rat poison".  "Similarly, unless a brain autopsy is performed, it is difficult to tell what the person took to commit suicide.

    Therefore, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Zhang Tie did not even go to explore Wang Wu¡¯s body, but made the matter as minor as possible

    Zhang Tie did not expect that during this trip to Youzhou City, one of his unintentional actions would suddenly put him in contact with the people of the Tongtian Sect and lead him into the Tongtian Sect's conspiracy.

    The so-called major event of Tongtian Sect is of course causing chaos, nothing else.

    Zhang Tie didn¡¯t even know whether this was his own luck or the Tongtian Sect¡¯s bad luck

    At this time, there must be someone in Youzhou City nervously paying attention to every move he makes

    Therefore, Zhang Tie simply left openly and let those people breathe a sigh of relief first

    However, the Tongtian Sect¡¯s control over its followers can make people like Wang Wu feel comfortable with death at critical moments, which also gave Zhang Tie a slight chill in his heart
