It is said that Fuju and Yang Fengming used the technique of singing and singing, and succeeded in deceiving, and after obtaining the salary, they were very happy, and after seeing the three carriages coming, and the people immediately loaded the car, they did not go back to Yanchi County, and they did not eat lunch, and randomly escorted nine boxes of silver, together with Luo Xinyao, and rushed back to Lingwu. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It is said that Zhang Congbin was worried about raising money everywhere to no avail, and when he found out, he was ecstatic and overjoyed, and immediately took someone to greet him in person.

Seeing this, Fuju was naturally very excited, and immediately handed over the salary to Zhang Congbin, and personally led people to throw Luo Xinyao into the prison, and specially arranged a cell for people to treat with good wine, good food, and no mistakes, so that he left with peace of mind and went home for dinner.

Zhang Congbin counted the salary, and saw that everyone had worked hard for a day, and when they hadn't eaten lunch until this Shen Shi, he was sorry in his heart, and he was happy to find the silver, so he immediately took people to the best restaurant in Lingwu City and feasted them for dinner.

Fuju and Yang Fengming were very enthusiastic, and it was not easy to sweep everyone's interest, so they led everyone to go happily at random.

Zhang Congbin entered the restaurant, and after arranging five tables of banquets, he did not accompany Peng Qingshan and them, but randomly sat at a table with Fuju and Yang Fengming, waiting for the restaurant to serve wine and food on the table.

The owner of the restaurant was happy, and randomly commanded his men, no matter what, as long as there were meals in the store, all the meals were served to each table, 'ping pong', the time was not big, and the wine, meat and vegetables were all over the table.

Zhang Congbin was anxious, and without waiting for the store to put things together, he poured wine at random, pushed the cup and changed the glass, and drank the wine.

After the three of them drank a few glasses, they randomly opened the chatterbox, and while eating and drinking, they talked about the seizure of the silver.

It is said that when Xu Xianhuan, the deputy envoy of Lingwu Jiedu, heard that Luo Xinyao was arrested and the silver had been recovered, he was not only taken aback, but also frightened, he was really afraid of something, he should have killed Luo Xinyao at the beginning, and now he regrets it later, "Liu Xiang, what did Luo Xinyao confess to Fuju in addition to saying that he was paid?" ”

Liu Xiang pondered for a moment and said: "Master, according to what I have observed, Na Fuju is bent on the matter of paying money, and he has not yet asked Luo Xinyao for details, otherwise, they will not take action." ”

Xu Xianhuan asked thoughtlessly, "Steward Liu, what do you think about this?" ”

Liu Mingtang said viciously: "Lord Xu, what can I do, the only way out is to let him Luo Xinyao not speak, so that he will not cause any harm to you, and you will be safe." ”

Xu Xianhuan worried: "But now, he is not already in the prison of the government office, how can we do it?" ”

Liu Mingtang persuaded: "Lord Xu, no poison and no husband, good and small non-gentleman, we have reached the parietal eye, if we are still afraid of wolves and tigers, then wait for death, now we must not do anything, and fight to the death, otherwise, at this time tomorrow, we will cry without tears."

Xu Xianhuan said: "That, that, that's the case, then fight to the death, Liu Xiang, you call Xu Xiangrong, you two quickly go and inquire where Luo Xinyao is locked, and after inquiring about everything, come back and report to me." ”

"Okay, then I'll go." Liu Xiang agreed and went out randomly to call Xu Xiangrong.

Xu Xianhuan saw him leave, and randomly instructed Liu Mingtang to go over, "Steward Liu, please go to Sanqing Temple in the west of the city, tell the master Xu Zhuan, and let him take Liu Ye and Li Yong to the city tonight, how about it?" ”

Liu Mingtang readily agreed: "Master Xu, this is no problem, it is about to get dark, I will go now." ”

Xu Xianhuan instructed uneasily: "Okay, you can go quickly, but, Steward Liu, when you get there, you must explain the matter clearly to them, and let them make all preparations when they come." ”

"I understand this, don't worry, you won't make a mistake." Liu Mingtang assured, randomly went back to the room to change his coat, and after walking out of the mansion gate quickly, he raised his legs and walked towards the west gate of the city.

After Xu Xianhuan looked at leaving, he randomly arranged for other people to monitor Zhang Congbin's eating in the restaurant.

But Liu Mingtang walked out of the west gate of the city quickly, and in view of the sunset falling in the west, he was afraid of delaying things, so he randomly walked and ran, and quickly rushed to Sanqingguan.

Sanqing Temple is located in the northwest of the city, about five miles away from the city, its building seat is facing south, the main building Sanqing Hall is dedicated to the ancestor of Sanqing Dao, the first Tianzun, Lingbao Tianzun, Daode Tianzun, and the green dragon, the white tiger, the Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu and other immortals. Inside the pavilions, corridors, layer upon layer, the scale of the self is incomparable, looking at it from afar, it is majestic momentum.

It is said that Liu Mingtang trotted all the way, quickly grabbed before the sun set, and arrived at the temple gate of Sanqingguan, without hesitation, he raised his legs and walked into the Taoist temple.

The Taoist who watched the door was about to close the door, and suddenly saw that someone rushed in, and he didn't see it clearly, he thought he was still the person who burned incense and worshiped the Buddha, and hurriedly persuaded the past, "I said donor, it's getting late, the Taoist temple is about to close, you come in now, it's not the time to make incense to worship the Buddha, please don't go inside, if you want to burn incense sincerely, come again tomorrow." ”

When Liu Mingtang heard this, he randomly stopped his steps and reprimanded him, "Daochang Li, God, it's not completely dark yet, why don't you even know me, it's not too late for you to speak after you see it clearly." ”

That Li Daochang often saw Liu Mingtang enter, and he knew people well, so he hurriedly said with a bad opinion: "It was originally you, Steward Liu, I'm really sorry, I didn't see it clearly, it was you, alas, Master Liu, don't you usually come in the morning, why did you come here at this time today?" ”

Liu Mingtang said casually: "Today's matter is a bit special, Lord Xu, I just ordered it down, so I came out late, alas, are you watching the Lord and he is watching?" ”

Daochang Li hurriedly responded: "Yes, yes, yes, I didn't go out on business two days ago, and I just came back this morning." Master Liu, do you want me to send you over? ”

"No, I'm not the first to come to your Taoist temple, I'm not familiar with that place, you can do it, I'll just go over by myself." Liu Mingtang said and raised his legs and walked inside.

"Okay, okay, then you can go." Then Daoist Li said and went about his own business.

Let's say that Liu Mingtang followed his familiar path, walked quickly, beat around the bush, and didn't work hard, and came to the courtyard where the backyard watcher lived. "Daochang Xu, Daochang Xu, Daochang Xu, are you in the house?"

The main surname of Sanqing Guanguan is Xu Mingzhuo, born with thick eyebrows and big eyes, small nose and ears, and his face is a little vicious, he is in his forties, and he has a figure of seven feet five or six. He was originally a practitioner, because after falling in love with a woman, he was strong and competitive in the jealousy with others, angrily killed the other party, after being captured by the government, Xu Xianhuan saw that his kung fu was strong, and he was a person who was righteous and righteous, and he was a person who knew how to repay his kindness, and he liked it in his heart, Xu Xianhuan then used the power in his hand to design and save his life, and let him hide in this Sanqingguan, Xu Zhuan in order to repay his life-saving grace, since he did not distinguish between good and bad, he had everything to say, and for the convenience of acting, through the power of Xu Xianhuan, drove out all the original cultivators, recruited a new group of like-minded people to live in, and then renovated the Taoist temple and built a Taoist temple into a place where they could do whatever they wanted.

And said that Xu Zhuan was in the room with Liu Ye, Li Yong and others to eat and drink big fish, suddenly heard the shouting, and hurriedly walked out of the house, when he saw that it was Liu Mingtang, the chief housekeeper of Xufu, he was surprised and strange, and after a while, he couldn't help but ask puzzledly: "Butler Liu, the day has come to such a time, why are you still running to us, what is the matter, you can talk about it tomorrow, it is not bad for this night." ”

Liu Mingtang smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Yang Guan, the situation is forced to come." ”

Xu Zhuan was puzzled: "Yes, what is so urgent, please come into the house and speak." ”

"Okay, good," Liu Mingtang said and walked into the house.

When Liu Ye, Li Yong and others saw it, they immediately got up and said hello. "Steward Liu, you're here, you haven't eaten yet, please sit inside."

Liu Mingtang didn't expect Liu Ye and the five or six leaders to be there, so he was happy, and he could respond casually, "Alas, Liu Ye, a few of you are here, that's great." ”

"Yes, Steward Liu, come here at this time, depending on the situation, you must not have eaten dinner yet," Liu also instructed: "Zhou Xing, you go to the room, add a bowl with chopsticks for Steward Liu, and let him sit down and eat with us." ”

Liu Mingtang hurriedly dissuaded: "Zhou Xing, don't, don't go, I didn't eat or eat." ”

That Zhou Xing was six or seven meters tall, with a fat head and big ears, and sharp-beaked monkey gills, and after being blocked, he was surprised, "Steward Liu, what's the matter, it shows that we have used chopsticks?" ”

Liu Mingtang complained: "Zhou Xing, Zhou Xing, what do you want, why don't you want to think about it, I came here at this time, can I eat your meal?" ”

Zhou Xing also suddenly felt that his words were inappropriate, and explained: "Steward Liu, don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else." ”

Xu Zhuan hurriedly asked, "Steward Liu, what happened in the city?" Why are you so busy? ”

Liu Mingtang picked up a teacup and drank all the water in it in one go, and then, after putting down the teacup and waving his hand to wipe the water droplets from the corners of his mouth, seeing that there were no outsiders in the house, he randomly opened the window and said brightly, and said bluntly: "Lord Yang Guan, do you still remember the incident more than half a month ago, at the junction between Yanchi and Lingwu, you personally robbed the silver?" ”

Xu Zhuan smiled: "Steward Liu, it's only been a few days, of course I remember, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Mingtang smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Yang Guan, that incident happened." ”

"What?" When Xu Zhuan heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and asked in surprise, "Steward Liu, what's going on?" You tell me carefully. ”

The housekeeper Liu Mingtang pinched his head and tail, and said from the middle: "Master Xu Guan, before you robbed the silver, Lord Xu, didn't you specially arrange for Luo Xinyao, the chief catcher of the salt pond, to participate in assisting you?" ”

Xu Zhuan responded: "Yes, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have gotten out so quickly, what's wrong?" ”

Liu Mingtang said: "Lord Xu Guan, Luo Xinyao, this kid has now been arrested by Zhang Congbin, he not only told the location where the silver was hidden, but also in order to break the guilt, ask for Zhang Congbin's leniency, and personally led Zhang Congbin to take the silver back, after Lord Xu found out, he was angry, and decided to take advantage of Luo Xinyao's opportunity to confess to you tonight, so as to kill Luo Xinyao and destroy him, so as to prevent future troubles." Therefore I came in haste, that all of you should enter the city. ”

"So that's the case," after Xu Zhuan understood, he said angrily: "Steward Liu, speaking of Luo Xinyao, the first time I saw him, I said that he Luo Xinyao couldn't do it, Xu Xianhuan still didn't believe it, if he wanted to listen to me and kill Luo Xinyao randomly after the matter was completed, would there be such a thing?" I didn't let it, but now it's okay, something is wrong. ”

Liu Mingtang persuaded: "Master Xu Guan, the matter has come to this point, and it is too late to say it, so let's take care of the present first." ”

Xu Zhuan stopped complaining, knowing that if he wanted them all to enter the city, he would never rob the prison alone, and asked puzzledly: "Steward Liu, Lord Xu, what do you mean now, what does he want us all to go into the city?" ”

Liu Mingtang said bluntly: "Lord Xu Guan, what Lord Xu means is, let me tell you that he is going to rob the prison tonight, and he wants you to assist him, in case the prison robbery fails, he will not do anything, and he will rush into the Jiedu Mansion to kill Zhang Congbin." ”

Xu Zhuan said: "It turns out that Lord Xu wants to play big, that's great, to tell the truth, he should have been like this a long time ago, Steward Liu, please go back first, let's pack up and prepare, and then arrive, tell Lord Xu, we will never make a mistake, and as before, we will still gather in the Liu family's broken house not far from Xu's mansion, waiting for Lord Xu's order." ”

Liu Mingtang said: "Okay, then Master Xu Guan, let's settle it, I can go back." ”

Xu Zhuan said: "Okay, I still have to prepare, I won't send you." ”

"It's okay, you're busy, I'm leaving." Liu Mingtang said that he left Sanqingguan and went back to the city by twilight.

Xu Zhuan saw him leaving, and randomly issued an order to Liu Ye, Li Yong and others to enter the city.

Liu Ye, Li Yong and others did not slack off, they randomly returned to their residences, shouted to their men, brought their own weapons, a group of more than 30 people, and left Sanqingguan, taking advantage of the twilight, three by two and two into the city.

Saying that the anxious Xu Xianhuan was like an ant on a hot pot, anxiously waiting at home, when he saw Liu Mingtang coming back happily, he was restless and suddenly felt much better, and after randomly stepping forward and asking about the situation, he put his heart in his stomach, and signaled Liu Mingtang to go to the backyard to eat first, and then he randomly planned a plan of action to rob the prison and kill Luo Xinyao.

It is said that Xu Zhuan led his subordinates to take advantage of the nightfall, and after entering the city and gathering in the Liu family's broken house, they randomly went to Xu's mansion to listen to Xu Xianhuan's arrangement.

Xu Xianhuan was naturally happy when he saw him coming, and he randomly told his bold plan.

After Xu Zhuan heard about it, he made some reminders and supplements to a place, and the two of them prepared randomly.

Time passed in an instant, and the sky, in the blink of an eye, darkened, and the entire Lingwu went into darkness.

It is said that when Xu Xianhuan heard that the bell on the upper floor had entered the first watch, and when he heard that Zhang Congbin and the others were still eating and drinking in the restaurant although they had been confused, he immediately issued an order to rob the prison, and without hesitation, he personally led Xu to transfer them, as well as the family members, a total of forty or fifty people, taking advantage of the opportunity of the lack of blacks on the street at night, divided into four teams and quickly walked to the prison cell of the government office.

The prison's dark door was closed, and except for two dead wind lamps on top of the gate, swaying from side to side in the cold wind, everything seemed lifeless, and there was no movement.

After Xu Xianhuan arrived at the door of the cell first, he first commanded his subordinates to guard everything everywhere, and he was already familiar with the prison situation, so he was not in a hurry and stepped forward to call the door.

The doorkeeper on duty was surnamed Li Mingtie, in his thirties, with a melon seed face, and his figure was lean and lean, he was standing at the door of the room, gossiping with a few companions in the room, and suddenly heard the sound of the door, and felt surprised, and quickly got up and took a lantern and looked at the door, when he opened the observation hole, he saw Xu Xianhuan, the deputy envoy of Naijiedu, followed by more than ten people, he was surprised and strange, and couldn't help but ask, "It's you, Lord Xu, it's been more than a day, you are here at this time, what's the matter?" ”

Xu Xianhuan said calmly: "It's you on duty tonight, Li Tie, I am entrusted by Lord Zhang, I want to interrogate Luo Xinyao at night today, please open the door." ”

When Li Tie heard this, he was a little puzzled in his heart, so he asked casually, "Is this the case, Lord Xu, we didn't receive his notice?" ”

Xu Xianhuan said: "Li Tie, this, I was also drinking in the restaurant, Zhang Dacai told me, if the magistrate is a senior to crush people to death, although it is late, I must not come, otherwise, I will come tomorrow." ”

"That's the case, Lord Xu, you don't wait, I'll come when I go." Li Zun said and turned around and went back to the house, and after a while, he took the key, turned around and came back and opened the prison door.

After Xu Xianhuan led people into the prison door, he asked randomly, "Li Tie, what room is Luo Xinyao locked in?" ”

Li Tie went straight and said, "He's on death row in the innermost place." ”

Xu Xianhuan said: "Yes, then please bring him over, I will borrow your torture room to ask, how about it?" ”

Li Tiedao: "Lord Xu, who are you, no problem, I'll take you to custody." Xiao Ran, Xiao Dong, Lord Xu, Luo Xinyao will be interrogated tonight, you two come with me and bring him over. ”

"Okay, Brother Li," with a reply, the two young jailers happily walked out of the room, followed Li Tie, and summoned Luo Xinyao to go.

Xu Xianhuan was not at ease, so he randomly asked Zhou Xing, Zhang San, and Li Si to follow. In order to prevent other jailers from taking the opportunity to escape, Liu Ye and others were randomly allowed to control all the jailers in the cell and did not allow them to move back and forth.

When Li Tie and the others went, they escorted Luo Xinyao, who was up and down, that is, there was no rope and no rope tie.

It is said that Luo Xinyao entered the torture room, and when he saw that the presiding judge was Xu Xianhuan, he was shocked, and his soul was scattered, and he immediately crawled to his knees with a 'plop', kowtowed like pounding garlic, and even begged for mercy continuously, "Lord Xu, no, Master Xu, I didn't betray you, all this is a misunderstanding, they deceived and defrauded, and I have no intention of betraying." ”

Xu Xianhuan reprimanded angrily: "Luo Xinyao, you didn't betray us, so what do you mean by saying that you are paying silver?" ”

Luo Xinyao defended aggrievedly: "Lord Xu, this is all your tutor Yang Fengming deceived me, saying that you have been arrested, and so on, and intimidated me many times, I, I have no choice but to confess the silver, as for the rest, I didn't say anything, you have to believe me and save me out?" ”

Xu Xianhuan never expected that Yang Fengming would also be involved, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and hated it to the core, so he couldn't help but blurt out: "What a Yang Fengming, he actually secretly went against me, see that I don't kill him." Luo Xinyao, Luo Xinyao, he is a leader, you actually believe his words, you are really a useless person. ”

Luo Xinyao said: "Lord Xu, I didn't believe it, but they beat me, and I couldn't stand that crime, so I said it." ”

Xu Xianhuan said angrily: "Yes, if you say so, Luo Xinyao, if they beat you again, then you can't stand the crime, and you will betray us." ”

Luo Xinyao hurriedly defended: "Lord Xu, no, I will never do it." ”

"Master Xu, what are you talking about with him, you can't kill him." When Xu Zhuan saw this, he was angry, and as he spoke, he waved the steel knife in his hand, and the knife in his hand fell, which resulted in Luo Xinyao's life.

The jailer Li Tiezheng was puzzled by the content of the conversation between Xu Xianhuan and Luo Xinyao, and suddenly saw his subordinates wielding a knife to kill Luo Xinyao, he was naturally shocked, and he didn't dare to open his mouth to ask, and for a moment, he didn't say a word, and hurriedly walked out secretly. And as soon as he arrived at the door, a steel knife flashing with cold light forced him, so frightened that he stepped back step by step, and when he saw Xu Xianhuan getting up and leaving, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and cried and begged. "Master Xu, please spare my life under the knife, I won't tell everything, and besides, I will definitely repay me in the next life."

"Li Tie, Li Tie, I really want to let you live, but the experience of the past has made me no longer trust anyone, and you should never open your mouth." Xu Xianhuan said, waved his hand and gave the order to kill the jailers.

After Xu Zhuan received the order, he randomly commanded his subordinates to kill more than a dozen jailers in the cell, and then, after some processing, in order to destroy the scene, he immediately set fire to it according to Xu Xianhuan's order.

After Xu Xianhuan saw that the fire was ignited, he hurriedly evacuated the cell, and then, taking advantage of the fact that no one knew, he called to open the city gate and personally sent Xu to transfer them out of Lingwu City, so he went home in a hurry. After he arrived home, in order to prevent Zhang Congbing from jumping over the wall to arrest him, he randomly transferred his own pro-army guards to protect his home.

When Zhang Congbin said that they drank one by one and were confused, dizzy, and left without exhaustion, when they walked back, they suddenly saw a sky-high fire coming out of the mansion, they were shocked, and the wine woke up immediately, shouting hurriedly and hurried back, when they saw the fire in the prison in the southwest corner of the mansion, they felt surprised and strange, and as soon as they arrived, when they saw Lu Zhengchun in the backyard guarding the backyard at home and leading people to direct the firefighting, they were surprised and puzzled, and couldn't help but ask, "Zhengchun, What's going on? ”

Lu Zhengchun hurriedly explained: "Master Zhang, I don't know what's going on, but after seeing the fire in the backyard, I brought someone over." ”

Zhang Congbin hurriedly said: "Yes, then you can go back, you don't need to put out the fire here." ”

"Okay," Lu Zhengchun agreed, and if he didn't stay, he would randomly take someone to withdraw to the backyard guard.

Zhang Congbin commanded randomly: "Qingshan, you quickly lead everyone to fight the fire." ”

"Okay, my lord," Peng Qingshan echoed and agreed, and randomly ordered everyone to find pots and buckets, climb the house and go up to the house to save the fire, however, because the fire was too big and fierce, one pot or two buckets were spilled on it, and it was useless. Not only did it not help, but it was like pouring oil on it, making the fire more fierce and vicious.

Zhang Congbin observed, seeing that the fire was fierce and windy, and it could not be extinguished, because the fire was burning outside, and in an instant, it was not extinguished, so he randomly asked Peng Qingshan to change the firefighting method to prevent the fire from expanding outside.

After Peng Qingshan heard the order, he didn't dare to delay, and immediately ordered everyone to be afraid of the burning fire, and desperately sprayed water on the houses in front of the fire to prevent the fire from burning to other houses.

The fire, the raging fire, was stopped on all sides, and it suddenly stopped going, and stayed in place and burned, however, although it did not go any further, the burned place also burned for more than two hours, and it was not until the fourth watch that the ammunition was exhausted, and the burn was slowly extinguished.

When Zhang Congbin saw that the fire was slowly extinguished, his heart that had been hanging suddenly put down, and in order to investigate the cause of the fire, he randomly summoned the jailer on duty, "Li Tie, Li Jing, you call them all over, I want to see how they are on duty, they actually let such a fire ignite, find out the reason, I will definitely punish them severely." ”

It didn't take much effort, so Li Jing stepped forward and replied, "Master, all the jailers on duty tonight are not at the scene. ”

"What, not at the scene?" When Zhang Congbin heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and said in surprise: "Is it that they all know about this fire, they are guilty of unforgiveness, and they are all afraid of crime and abscond, Li Jing, you take the two of you, go to Li Tie's house to have a look first, and if he is at home, arrest him back." ”

"Okay," Li Jing agreed, took the two catchers and went straight to Li Tie's house.

Zhang Congbin turned around and randomly ordered: "Qingshan, you take two people to check the cell to see if there are any prisoners who have escaped by taking advantage of the chaos, and if there are, send someone to arrest them quickly, and they must not be allowed to escape and cause trouble." ”

"Okay," Peng Qingshan agreed, and randomly called two people, quickly entered the prison, and carefully checked each door lock from door to door.

Let's say that Peng Qingshan and the three of them checked all the doors in less than half an hour, and when they saw that the innermost door was wide open, but there was no one inside, they were shocked, and hurriedly reported to Zhang Congbin.

It is said that Zhang Congbin and Fuju saw that the fire was about to be extinguished, and they were anxious to see that the sky was about to brighten, so they randomly ordered their subordinates to enter the fire and put out the remaining fire. After hearing the report suddenly, Fuju couldn't help but be taken aback, stopped his hands and feet, and asked, "Qingshan, what are you talking about, the innermost prison door is wide open, and there is no one inside?" ”

Peng Qingshan said: "Yes, the two of them can also testify, right?" ”

The two men said in unison, "Yes, the prison door is wide open, and there is no one inside." ”

Fuju was shocked: "It's so bad, then inside is Luo Xinyao, who I just locked in." ”

"What?" When Zhang Congbin heard this, he couldn't help but be taken aback, and said in surprise: "Brother Fu, don't Li Tie and the others are in the same group as Luo Xinyao, they did this deliberately in order to rescue Luo Xinyao." ”

Fuju said: "Brother Congbin, don't guess, this is impossible, don't you want to think about it, how capable Li Tie and the others are, would they do such a thing, according to my judgment, all this is done by someone else." ”

Zhang Congbin was surprised: "Brother Fu, who would do that?" ”

Fuju said: "This problem, only if you find any of Li Tie and any of them, the truth will be revealed, for now, let's clean up the scene first and see if the fire is overblown." ”

After Zhang Congbin nodded in agreement, he randomly arranged for Peng Qingshan to take someone to clean up the place where the fire was started.

Time is like an arrow, fleeting, night, in the blink of an eye, there is already darkness in the direction of light.

"Master Zhang, I'm back." With a greeting, Li Jing came back from Li Tie's house.

Zhang Congbin saw that he was empty, and couldn't help but ask, "Li Jing, how is it, has Li Tie gone home?" ”

Li Jing said: "Master Zhang, I asked his wife, and she said that Li Tie has never returned home since he went to work. ”

Zhang Congbin said to himself in surprise: "Yes, it's strange to say so, he didn't go home and wasn't at the scene, so where would he go?" ”

"Lord Zhang, it's not good, there are people burned to death here, and it's not one, several" An exclamation suddenly came from the crowd that was cleaning up.

"What?" After Zhang Congbin was puzzled, he was taken aback, and hurriedly looked over with Fuju.

But I saw that there were several burnt corpses in the ash heap, which were so miserable that it was unbearable to see, and a scorching smell permeated the air, which was suffocating.

In response to the new situation that suddenly appeared, Zhang Congbin randomly ordered: "Everyone, don't clean up, Li Jing, immediately notify the servant and let him come here quickly, Qingshan, the five of you, stay and protect the scene, the others have been tossing all night, they are already tired, go back and rest first, there will be something to call you." ”

The crowd had been busy for two or three hours, and they were already exhausted, and after hearing this, they naturally rejoiced in their hearts, and randomly left the scene and went back to rest.

The sky, as the sun rose, gradually brightened.

After a while, Li Jing came back with a gang of Yan Yuxun.

He was born with a round face, big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, two bright eyes, and handled many difficult cases.

It is said that Yan Yuxun led his assistant to inspect the scene for more than an hour and a half, and after inspecting and understanding the situation at the scene, he then entered the Jiedu Mansion and reported the situation to Zhang Congbin.

Zhang Congbin, Fuju, and Yang Fengming were guessing wildly in the mansion, and when they saw Yan Yuxun coming in, they asked first, "Yan Yanzuo, after the inquest, how did those people die?" ”

Yan Yuxun said unhurriedly: "Lord Zhang, after several of our on-site investigations, there are a total of fifteen people in it, all of them died by knife stabbing, and after identification of their identities, they are the missing jailers Li Tie, Xiao Ran, Xiao Dong and others, and Luo Xinyao. As for the others, due to the severity of the fire, no trace was left either. ”

Zhang Congbin, Fuju, and Yang Fengming listened to it, and they were suddenly sad, worried, since they never thought that they would be empty, and they were annoyed that the things they planned when they were drinking suddenly came to naught, however, although the three of them also thought that this might be Xu Xianhuan taking advantage of their dinner in the restaurant, but because he Xu Xianhuan was not an ordinary person, and he had already taken precautions, he did not dare to act rashly and do whatever he wanted without any evidence in his own hands and without any of his handles. And blindly ordered to arrest people.

Although Zhang Congbin was angry in his heart, he had no good way, so he had no choice but to listen to the persuasion of Fuju and deal with the burial of Li Tie, Xiao Ran, Xiao Dong, and Luo Xinyao first.

After returning home, although there was no handle left in the action, he couldn't sleep, and sat straight in the study all night, watching the dawn, Zhang Congbin did not take arrest action against himself, and his hanging heart was suddenly put down, in order to find out Zhang Congbin's situation, he randomly sent Liu Xiang and Xu Xiangrong to the Jiedu Mansion to inquire about the situation.

After Liu Xiang and Xu Xiangrong heard the order, they didn't dare to be slow, and when they left Xu's Mansion, they randomly pretended to run and exercise, and went to Jiedu Mansion to find out the situation.

In front of the gate of Jiedu Mansion, because a fire last night had already alarmed the neighborhoods, as soon as the sky was brightened, many people gathered one after another to bluff and gossip to watch the excitement.

After Liu and Xu arrived, in view of the crowd and constant noise in front of Jiedu Mansion, in order to find out the situation in the cell, they randomly got into the crowd and slowly leaned towards the door of the cell. After Zizi couldn't see anything else, the two left randomly and went back to report to Xu Xianhuan.

And said that Xu Xianhuan had already eaten breakfast, and was talking about last night's events with the housekeeper Liu Mingtang in his study, and after watching the two come back and listen to their reports, they knew that Jiedu Mansion was cleaning up, and there was nothing else to do, and the hanging heart suddenly put down, and after signaling the two to eat, he discussed with the housekeeper Liu Mingtang, he knew that his own affairs happened in the Jiedu Mansion, and if he didn't visit, he would be able to say that he couldn't say it, but he was afraid that Zhang Congbin would take the opportunity to make trouble, so he randomly discussed it with the housekeeper Liu Mingtang, and sat in charge of it. After preparing to meet him by force, he randomly pretended to know the news that the government was on fire, and went to Jiedu to make the yamen comfort Zhang Congbinming, but he actually inquired about the truth.

Zhang Congbin gritted his teeth with anger and hatred in his heart for his arrival, but he was still polite and polite on the surface of the reception, and he was full of smiles.

Xu Xianhuan pretended to be comforted, after finding out that Zhang Congbin had found nothing, he was very proud in his heart, for the fire, gossip short, after a rough chat for a while, he randomly excused himself not to disturb his work, left the Jiedu Mansion, and went back to the house, for Zhang Congbin has no evidence at the moment, can not deal with his own situation, he knows that he will never let himself go unpunished, stop here, he will definitely find his own fault, put himself to death and then quickly, but also in order to get rid of Zhang Congbin as soon as possible, so as to sit on the Lingwu Festival to make this position, After returning to the house, he randomly planned to arrange a conspiracy to get rid of Zhang Congbin.

It is said that Zhang Congbin was proud of Xu Xianhuan, and he wanted to cut him with a knife in his heart, in order to obtain evidence, so as to get rid of him as soon as possible, he randomly arranged Fuju to investigate Xu Xianhuan.

Here, it is not to mention how Xu Xianhuan's side acted, nor how Fuju investigated, not to mention how the two sides fought-for-tat and verbally fought each other. But although Yang Fengming was surprised by Luo Xinyao's killing, there was no evidence, and there was no way to do it. When things calmed down and saw that life was back to the same as before, in order to clear his wrongs, he randomly disguised himself as a beggar and went to the gate of Xu's mansion to monitor and investigate his own affairs.

The sky is high and the clouds are light, the wind blows and the clouds disperse, and in the blink of an eye, more than 20 days have passed.

Although Yang Fengming never stopped monitoring the Xu Mansion regardless of the wind and rain, but the result of nothing, but he was annoyed, just when he planned to change his strategy and think of another way to investigate, the day's Shen was halfway through, the housekeeper Liu Mingtang walked out of the Xu Mansion alone, and walked out of the city from the West City Gate leisurely.

Yang Fengming followed closely, and when he saw him going out of the city alone, he was secretly happy that he had nothing to do in his heart, and he didn't rush out of the city at random, and quickly chased after him.

That Liu Mingtang walked briskly westward along the avenue, about two miles away from the city, but seeing that he seemed to be convenient, he turned around and went into a forest on the side of the road.

Yang Fengming didn't know what he was going to do, although, but he was confident that he could deal with Liu Mingtang, and after approaching the woods, he randomly went into the woods without hesitation.

In the forest, because of the large trees and dense forests, the branches are luxuriant, curved and circling, and the sky is dark, the forest is dim and dark, gloomy, and indistinct.

After Yang Fengming entered the forest, he didn't find Liu Mingtang's figure, which surprised him, he couldn't help but walk inside, just when he just walked to an empty place in the middle of the woods, a reprimand came from behind him, "Boy, don't look for it, I'm here?" He couldn't help but be taken aback, and hurriedly turned around and looked over. When he saw that the person who came was Liu Mingtang, but he was not alone, and there were five or six other wolf-like men holding wooden sticks behind him, staring at him, he felt a little surprised, in order to find out his intentions, and then, after revealing his identity, he pretended to be surprised and said: "This, I am not looking for someone, but I came in conveniently." ”

Liu Mingtang sneered: "Yang Fengming, let's talk about it, what do you want to do when you follow it here today?" ”

When Yang Fengming heard this, he was taken aback, and pretended to be confused at random: "This master, what nonsense are you talking about, I am not called Yang Fengming, but a nameless beggar, don't recognize the wrong person." ”

Liu Mingtang reprimanded and testified: "Yang Fengming, don't pretend in front of me, don't think that we don't recognize you, tell you, from the moment you arrived in front of the Xu Mansion, that is, you don't want food, and you don't want money, we have paid attention to you, the reason why we haven't taken action, I wanted to give you a chance to repent and reform, I didn't expect you to get an inch, and dare to follow me, I really don't know how high the sky is high, to tell you the truth, the reason why I went out of the city at this time, all of this, we set up a good bureau, just to lead you out, I didn't think you would really be fooled, this is really providential. Yang Fengming, Yang Fengming, today you'd better be obediently tied up and let me deal with it, and you may be able to save your life, otherwise, you will definitely be unable to escape with your wings, and you will die without a place to be buried. ”

It turned out that when they went to Xufumen, they didn't want food or money, which had already aroused their suspicions, no wonder they hadn't found anything for many days, they had been defending against the enemy.

After Yang Fengming understood everything, he saw that it was meaningless to disguise himself, and in an instant, he reached out and took off the broken straw hat on his head, stood up straight, and sneered majestically with angry eyes: "Okay, you Liu Mingtang, even if you have recognized me, then let's open the window and say something, today you had better tell me why you framed me in the first place, otherwise, don't say that there are six of him to help you today, even if there are six more people, you Yang Ye and I will not pay attention to it." ”

Liu Mingtang said: "Okay, you Yang Fengming, you are still hard-mouthed when you die, even if you don't see the coffin and don't cry, then you will die, Liu Ye, you don't do anything, what are you doing in a daze." ”

"Okay, Steward Liu, we'll end up with him." The leader Liu also agreed, waved the wooden stick in his hand, and a vicious tiger pounced on it, and then hit Yang Fengming.

When the other five people saw this, they also immediately joined in, and they all attacked Yang Fengming and killed him.

Yang Fengming would not sit still and be arrested, so he picked up the dog-beating stick in his hand and shot back. In an instant, a fight with great disparity between strength and weakness began in the woods.

Since ancient times, it is difficult to defeat four hands with two fists, and it is difficult for a good tiger to fight a group of wolves, and it didn't take long for Yang Fengming to fall into danger.

If you want to know how Yang Fengming lives and dies, let's see the next time.
