Chapter 144: Fenglai County

Fenglai County is a large county. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info There are many people coming and going, and the city is prosperous. Now is the era of peace and prosperity, and the imperial court has lasted for more than 100 years. Therefore, the counties in various places are relatively prosperous, stable and peaceful. On the gate of the general county town, there are no soldiers guarding the city. Unlike the capital, because the people who come and go are more idle, and the emperor and important officials of the imperial court are in the capital, there are still soldiers who guard the city day and night.

Wen Aya and the four of them walked for two days in a row, and the soles of their feet were a little painful. Especially Bi Shuge, because he was seriously injured two days ago, his body has not yet recovered. Therefore, along the way, he was the most uncomfortable and painful. Therefore, as soon as he entered Fenglai County, he did not follow Wen Aya and others to the county office, but found the largest restaurant and booked four first-class guest rooms to rest.

Wen Aya originally wanted to go directly to the restaurant to rest, but she thought that the cannibalistic Wen Aya could retaliate at any time. Therefore, she went directly to the county government again. Of course, before entering the city, she had already dressed herself up as the dignity she had when she entered Epiphany Village, and Huo Qian's appearance was also slightly more tolerant.

They did this because Wen Aya looked exactly like the cannibalistic Wen Aya, and Huo Qian was a famous Jiangyang thief. If the two of them are not easy to tolerate and enter the yamen like this, they will be arrested by the yamen immediately.

When the three of them came to the county office, it was already twilight. There were two guards in front of the door, and when they saw Wen Aya and others walking towards the yamen, they immediately held the hilt of their swords, stretched out a hand each, and stopped Wen Aya and the others from shouting majestically: "The yamen is heavy, and idle people are not allowed to enter." ā€

Bai Muzhen stepped forward and saluted, and said, "Two big brothers, we have a matter of human life that is at stake and want to see the county magistrate, and I hope you will go in and report it." Let him come out quickly, so that we can report to him. ā€

"What kind of life-threatening matter?" one of the big brothers glanced at Bai Muzhen with a suspicious face.

"I wonder if Brother Cha has heard of a heart-eating incident in Ginkgo Village some time ago?"

"Of course I've heard of it. When the other cha eldest brother heard this, he quickly nodded and said, "In that matter, we sent four arresters and one servant to the past, and we quickly caught the prisoner who ate people's hearts." Originally, our arrest was to bring the prisoner back to the Ya Nei for trial and execution, but because she had done a lot of evil in Ginkgo Village, which caused outrage, the villagers of Ginkgo Village beat her to death on the spot. How to ......"

As he spoke, he stopped and looked at Bai Muzhen and the others and asked, "Are you talking about this matter?"

"Exactly!" Bai Muzhen replied, "We are from Ginkgo Village, and we also brought a letter from our pavilion chief. In this letter, it has been stated that the prisoner who eats people's hearts was not killed by the people of our village. Then, she has now come to Fenglai County. It is inferred that its purpose may be to find four catchers and servants to take revenge. Therefore, please send the eldest brother to hand over this letter to the prefectural magistrate, and ask him to meet him, we have something important to tell us. ā€

When the two big brothers heard this, their faces immediately sank, knowing that if what Bai Muzhen said was true, then this matter could be described as particularly serious. So, one of the two hurriedly took the letter from Bai Muzhen's hand, and flew back to ask the others to go to the county commander's house to ask the county commander to return to the yamen.

Another big brother looked at Bai Muzhen and said solemnly: "Whether what you say is true or not, but before you confirm it, please just stand here and wait." ā€

He glanced at Wen Aya as he spoke, and saw that she was dressed in expensive but not floating clothes, with a noble and elegant temperament, knowing that such a person was either rich or expensive, so his tone of voice remained cautious.

Wen Aya and the three of them nodded, and then stood aside and waited.

The three of them waited for a while, and then they saw a person running out of the yamen quickly, it was another cha brother who had just gone and returned. The eldest brother ran to Wen Aya's side and looked at the three of them: "The three of you are invited, our adults are already waiting inside." ā€

After speaking, he whispered a few words to the eldest brother who was standing aside, and then took Wen Aya and the three of them towards the ya, and he said as he walked: "Our adults have already returned to the house, and we are also preparing to eat. But when he saw the letter you had brought, he did not even eat, and hurried back to the ya, and is now anxious to see you. ā€

Wen Aya and the others heard that there was another door in the yamen, and the county magistrate entered and exited the yamen through that gate. Therefore, they will not be able to touch the county magistrate until they are at the main gate of this yamen.

Since Wen Aya and others did not come to report the case, but to send a letter, it was not an official matter. Therefore, the place where they were received was not the place where they were ascended, but the backyard of the yamen. In the atrium of the backyard, there is a stone round table and four stone benches. There were two people sitting, and behind them stood seven or eight catchers. They saw Wen Aya and the three of them come in, and the two who were sitting hurriedly got up.

One of them was a middle-aged man, of medium build, wearing a gray robe, with some dark skin, a stubbed face, and dry eyes, and a shrewd appearance. He saw Wen Aya and the three of them coming, and hurriedly said: "This official is Lord Yang of Fenglai County, and he is very anxious to receive a letter from your pavilion chief. I wanted to ask the three sons in detail about what happened. ā€

He made a gesture of invitation and asked the three of them to sit down.

Huo Qian was originally a Jiangyang thief, and the most hated thing in his life was the yamen. But today, as Wen Aya's servant, he had to follow him into the yamen. At this moment, when he entered the yamen, of course, he didn't dare to sit down, lest he would feel very pressured to sit face to face with the county magistrate. He stood behind Wen Aya awkwardly, not even raising his head.

The county magistrate and the rest of the people couldn't help but be surprised when they saw it, and they couldn't help but glance at him, but they didn't care. What's more, as soon as Bai Muzhen sat down in front of them, they suddenly had a feeling of wind in the dragon.

This son, although he is not very luxuriously dressed, has a pair of deep and deep eyes, as if he has countless stories, which people dare not despise. Therefore, as soon as Bai Muzhen sat down, the eyes of the county magistrate and the rest of the people turned to Bai Muzhen.

The county magistrate looked at Bai Muzhen and said, "I don't know the surname of the son?"

Bai Muzhen said: "Under the surname Mu, the name is Bai." I didn't take the words, and the adults called me Mu Bai to applaud. ā€

"Oh, it turned out to be Mu Gongzi. The adult nodded and asked, "Mu Gongzi is from Ginkgo Village?"

"No, we are from the capital. Two days ago, I passed by Ginkgo Village, and the pavilion chief of Ginkgo Village knew that we were coming to Fenglai County, so he entrusted us with a letter to you. ā€

The adult was slightly disappointed when he heard this: "So, Mu Gongzi doesn't know about the cannibalism of Ginkgo Village?"
