At this time, the county magistrate had risen, and the county magistrate's wife had already eaten and was about to eat breakfast, when a servant crawled towards the county magistrate, and a catcher at the gate of the county magistrate stopped the magistrate and drank: "What's wrong, so embarrassed, what kind of system?"

The yacha pulled the head catcher, attached his ear and whispered, the head catcher was shocked: "What? This is a big deal, what you say is true?"

The official said, "My lord, I am absolutely not mistaken, it is absolutely true. ”

After hearing this, the head catcher also changed his face, turned around and galloped into the county office.

"My lord, something is wrong!" The headhunter rushed into the ya, and the county magistrate had just eaten a few bites of breakfast, when he was disturbed, almost choked, and glared at the headcatcher.

The head catcher lowered his neck and announced: "My lord, just now there are hundreds of people wearing white scarves and mourning clothes at the gate of the city, carrying dozens of coffins to the gate of the county seat, saying yes, saying that it is ......."

"What?" The county magistrate was shocked when he heard the words of the arrester, this is a big public security incident, could it be that someone gathered a crowd to make trouble, and immediately urged: "Tell me quickly, what is it?"

Among the people who came were soldiers, also wearing white scarves and mourning clothes. ”

"What? Prepare an ox cart and take me to the county gate. The county commander was shocked, and if there was still a mutiny, he immediately ordered people to prepare ox carts.

At this time, although there were so many people at the gate, the soldiers guarding the city gate, whether they were soldiers or took a step forward, their bodies trembled a little, and they scolded loudly: "Who are you, why do you wear white scarves and mourning clothes, and carry coffins to the county seat to make trouble, do you want to rebel?"

Pei Ziyun stepped forward and scolded loudly: "I am the new person Pei Ziyun, my village was attacked by thieves last night and dozens of people died, today I came to complain, you dare to stop me?"

"Xie Yuangong?" The soldier trembled, his face changed, and he looked at Pei Ziyun, Pei Ziyun's face was pale, and he was wearing a crown of clothes, and he hesitated for a while.

At this moment, Cao San also stepped forward and shouted angrily: "Li Si, are you blind, you don't even recognize Duke Xie Yuan, not to mention that the inspectors are dead, let me tell you, something big happened today, you get out of the way quickly, otherwise you won't be able to afford to suffer." ”

Pei Ziyun led the villagers to take a step forward, and the soldiers did not dare to stop them when they retreated.

This group of people went straight into the county seat, playing mourning music all the way, the street was quite lively, as soon as the mourning dress team entered the city, it was silent for a while, only mourning music and women and children cried, many people came to see, children also crowded, let the adults scold.

As soon as the county ordered the ox cart to be prepared, not far away, the ox cart stopped, and a servant shouted: "Wang Zhutou, where are you going? Don't go, now the road is blocked, Xie Yuangong led people to carry the coffin, saying that he wanted to sue, we have to go and report to the county commander quickly, the matter is really big." ”

The head catcher's face changed, and he was about to speak, when the county magistrate lifted the curtain and asked, "Tell me in detail, what is the situation now?"

The county magistrate listened to the announcement of the official who rushed over again, and after only a few words, his face changed greatly, and he ordered the head to be arrested: "Go back, prepare quickly!"

After a while, the county government arrived, Pei Ziyun saw that the county government was sitting in the north and facing south, hanging a large plaque with golden characters, and the first half of the wall was set up to shout a drum for the people to beat the drum and sound the grievances, so he directly stepped forward and knocked: "Bang, bang, bang." ”

For a while, the sound shook the sky, and a servant had just gone to work in the morning, and he didn't know the situation, so he stretched out his head and asked, "Who is beating the drum, what is the complaint?"

The officer's eyes swept over, the coffin was placed all the way down to block the street, and the funeral procession crowded the entrance of the county office, and he gasped for a while.

"Ascension!" At this time, two rows of yacha had arrived, and the fish rushed in, beating the ground with a killing stick, and the county commander sat on it, and a mirror hung a plaque on it.

Pei Ziyun led the village chief, Cao San entered the lobby, and as soon as the village chief entered the lobby, he knelt down and cried: "My lord, avenge the villain, last night there was a thief who made his debut Zhang Yuyu, led the thief into the village in the middle of the night, killing twenty-three villagers, fortunately, the inspector was in Woniu Village, and led the sergeant to kill the enemy bravely in the middle of the night, but the thief was cruel, and even the inspector was killed on the spot, but the thief did not please well, and the villagers were chased around Cao San, and all the thieves were awarded. ”

Cao San, who was following on the side, also stepped forward and knelt down and shouted: "County Zun, the little official is a military official of the inspection department, and he follows the inspector to inspect the township, and he doesn't want to be attacked by thieves." ”

"Most of this jade is a demon, not only strong martial arts, but also makes the demon law, the inspector fell into the demon law, only to be killed by the thief, and the attacker, among them is the thief on the water rudder, and the monk of the Silver Dragon Temple - the little official caught a few thieves alive. ”

As he spoke, Cao San waved his hand, and the four archers pressed the four black-clothed people up, these black-clothed people were all injured, and at this moment they were pressed to kneel down in the hall, tearing off the turban mask, and one of them was a monk, with a few ring scars, and three of them looked like fierce bandits at a glance.

The county order suddenly had some soft feet, this Yinlong Temple and the river rudder have heard of it, the family is big, and it is said that it has a connection with many dignitaries and nobles, and this case is a big case.

I only listened to the sound of the drum of revenge, and the yacha brought the complaint up, and a batch of men followed by a few Xiucai, and the man pounced and cried: "The county order helps, the county orders the adults help." ”

When the county magistrate saw this group of men with scattered heads breaking in, he picked up the shocking wood and slapped it fiercely, shouting: "Silence"

The scholar raised his head, and it was Tang Zhen who stepped forward and cried: "My lord, I am wronged, I am Tang Zhen who was dismissed from Xiucai's fame, but I am not ridiculous, but I have an inside story, there have been several Xiucai who were framed by this person before, and they fell for Zhang Yuyu's poisonous plan, and they died if they didn't accept it." ”

Behind Tang Zhen, there were several showmen who flocked up and cried loudly.

Just when these few showmen were crying, a few more old women came, and the women came to beat the drum of justice, and these old women came in and cried: "My lord's grievances." ”

The county magistrate asked, "You women are not at home, who do you want to sue when you come to this county office?"

"County lord, I am the mother of Xiucai Zhang Quan, a year ago Zhang Quan drowned in the river, before he died, he left a letter, saying that he was coerced, if something happens, someone will kill him, let us not report immediately, and come to sue again in the future to avenge him. ”

Seeing the evidence presented in the court, the county magistrate trembled with fright - this is a monstrous case!

Out of this big event, the door was blocked by twenty-three coffins in front of the door, and the county master book was all here, listening to it on one side, listening to this big event, all of them turned blue and bloodless.

The county order sits high above the lobby, and the plaque is hanging high.

The chief bookkeeper sighed, pasted it in, and only heard the county order whisper: "Damn, how dare this person, how dare he, this is a threat to the government, doesn't he want to take the imperial examination?"

This situation is obvious, it is Pei Ziyun who joined forces, and the public opinion is raised, the officials, Xiucai, and the bitter master are all here, and they want to cause an iron case, but this move is extremely taboo in officialdom, isn't he afraid that he won't be able to get into the jinshi?

"The county honor, he is a lifter, and the next step to catch the exam is Kyoto, which is a major event for the local area, but not a matter for Kyoto. The Lord Bo reminded him: "Moreover, now that I have heard this matter clearly, I am afraid that I will not be able to suppress it." ”

"Not to mention that the thieves entered the village and killed more than 20 villagers, just the corpse of this inspection is still outside, what is even more terrifying is that this person operated some time ago, and now the order for promotion in the house has come down, and he has been promoted to the county lieutenant, and he has been transferred from the ninth rank to the ninth grade, which is a serious official body. ”

"Da Xu Kaichao was killed by thieves, and this matter can't be suppressed. ”

The county commander trembled, and whispered to the main book: "But there is such a big thing, and the evaluation of several of us can be completed, not to mention the level relocation, even if it is a demotion, it will be difficult to stay in office." ”

"My county lord, it's no longer a matter of whether you can stay in office, it's a question of whether your position is guaranteed or not. As soon as the main bookkeeper's eyes rolled, he had a plan, lowered his voice, and said: "County Zun, for today's plan, the only way to do it is to handle this case in a big way, and it will be done by the county Zun to inspect and investigate, and if you don't want to be a thief, you will do it, and you will plant the matter of Heifeng Village, and sit down." ”

"This thing is that your lordship fights the thieves and tries your best to get rid of the scourge, so who can say that the adults are not, we have killed a county lieutenant, this is a martyrdom, and it is the thieves' deliberate revenge. ”

The county magistrate listened to the words of the master book, first stunned, and then laughed, it is not easy to handle the case lightly, some people gossip, but it has to be handled seriously, dig deep into the case, grasp the suspicion and bite it, how many people can be clean?

As long as you bite it, so many people have died, and so many things have happened, maybe you will be promoted if you don't go to prison without demotion.

The main book stepped aside, and the county magistrate's face was pensive, thinking about the conversation just now, and then continuing to ask about the case, patting the shocked wood, making the hall quiet, and asking: "Sujing, report the case to me, I will inquire one by one." ”

The county order interrogated, the master recorded, every confession was drawn by the party, Tang Zhen looked at the confession, his face was pale, thinking about the hardships of these days, and pressed the handprint fiercely.

The county magistrate looked at the confession and said: "The county has understood the facts of this case, everyone goes back, this thief and the official have already heard about it, and ordered the inspection to inquire secretly, but I never thought that this thief attacked Woniu Village in the middle of the night, killing the inspection and the villagers, I will give an explanation to the people of Jiangping County." ”

The county magistrate stood up and said righteously, and when everyone was dismissed, the county magistrate said to Pei Ziyun again: "This time it is even Pei Juren, I never thought that the demon was rampant, we only investigated, this demon will kill the official while patrolling outside, such a demon, I will go to the court and rain thunder." ”

Disobeys the imperial court to control the Taoist, and the law is cloudy: "The demon is also"

Pei Ziyun couldn't help but wonder, but this county order seems to be something else, but it is beneficial to himself, that is, he thanked the county order again and again.

The county order then transferred to the inner courtyard, asked the county chief to discuss, entered the inner courtyard, and said: "Li Xiancheng, although we all have fights, but now this matter is related to the black yarn hat on our top, what do you say we should do?"

The main book and the county order were staring, Li Xiancheng sat firmly, as if he was thinking, and after a while, he raised his head, with murderous aura in his eyes, and said: "This matter must be confirmed, as for the aftermath, we will not be too late!"
