24: The murder reappears
The so-called "Three Absolute Divine Captures" is the symbol of the law of the Great Wei Dynasty and a legendary figure in the Six Gates. They are "God Hunter" Liu Zhenyan, "King Catcher" Li Xuanyi, and "Hero Catcher" Liu Dufeng.
"God Catcher" Liu Zhengyan was born in the rivers and lakes. He is not only wise and brave, but also has his eyeliner in the three religions and nine streams, three mountains and five mountains. Especially the fast catcher who was on an errand in the yamen, he regarded him as a role model, and everyone rushed to serve him. It can be said that he is the star of the six doors, the idol.
"Catcher" Liu Dufeng is just the opposite. He was born in a famous family, since he was a child, he has been clothed and fed, he wants the wind to be windy, and he wants to be rainy, and he is a rich child who was born with a golden soup spoon. When you grow up and join the public business, no matter where you go to handle cases, you must pay attention to pomp and circumstance. Clothing, housing, food, everything is extremely gorgeous. Although he himself has a chivalrous personality, many people always feel that he is too lofty and ungrounded.
In comparison, "King Hunter" Li Xuanyi is different from the other two. He came from an ordinary background, just an ordinary peasant child. When he first entered the public gate as an errand, he was just an ordinary servant. And he is not for any lofty ideals, any maintenance of justice, etc., just to find a bowl of rice to eat.
Li Xuanyi is not like the other two, each has a famous teacher to teach martial arts. He only began to learn martial arts after entering the Six Gates. After that, Li Xuanyi took one step at a time, and continued to make contributions in the most down-to-earth style. He was promoted from a servant to a squad leader, then to a catcher, and then to a catcher, and then he was transferred from the county seat to the prefecture, and then he was also named in the Criminal Department.
In this process, Li Xuanyi solved one strange case, big case, and important case after another. The prisoners arrested by him range from rats and dogs in the countryside, to the Jiangyang thieves who kill people without blinking an eye in the rivers and lakes, and to many people in the martial arts who have been famous for a long time and have a prominent reputation. Everything you need. Even the big officials in the court have been arrested by Li Xuanyi a lot.
Li Xuanyi has solved more and more cases, and the criminals arrested are more and more promising. But in the end, without exception, these prisoners were all captured alive by the "king catcher" and sent to the government for interrogation and judgment. For decades, there has never been a prisoner who can escape at the hands of Li Xuanyi.
It is certainly a hundred times easier to catch someone if you are about to kill someone than to arrest someone. But as long as it falls into the hands of the "king catcher" Li Xuanyi, there is absolutely only one end - being escorted to the prison waiting for sentencing.
But at the same time, Li Xuanyi also "doesn't know how to be a man". Many times he caught the prisoner, but openly and secretly, there were constantly hints that he was "open to the net". And for this all sorts of benefits are promised. What kind of gold and silver beauties, like they don't want money, desperately send them to him.
But in the end, Li Xuanyi didn't want anything, and no one's face was sold. As long as the prisoner is caught by him, there will definitely be only one end, that is, to go to prison obediently.
To do this, it is conceivable how deep Li Xuanyi's martial arts cultivation is and how great his ability is.
Of course, in this way, Li Xuanyi also offended many people. These people didn't dare to confront him directly, but they were secretly desperately trying their best to delay and stumble through small means.
Therefore, although Li Xuanyi is getting more and more famous, even the Son of Heaven has heard of it more than once. But Li Xuanyi himself has always been just an ordinary head catcher, and he doesn't even have a decent seventh-grade official body.
But Li Xuanyi himself doesn't seem to care. He is not rich, and he has to support the high hall and his wife and children at home. But he was never greedy, but sincerely felt that it was enough. I don't have the heart to climb up desperately and get promoted and make a fortune. No matter what position he was in, or what errand he was assigned, he was conscientious and dedicated to it.
Such all kinds of behaviors have the wind of holy kings such as Da Yao, Da Shun, Da Yu, and Cheng Tang in the three generations of antiquity. Therefore, Li Xuanyi was called "King Hunter" by people all over the world.
Speaking of which, Li Xuanyi has been famous for a long time. It has been more than 30 years since he joined the public service. At the beginning, the four major stalls such as amorous and tender, and the soul snatcher, used to revere the "king catcher" very much, and also wanted to enter the six doors together.
But in the end, the four of them still followed the arrangement of Mrs. Zhuge and entered the Xiuchun Building to do things. If they didn't enter the Xiuchun Building, but entered the six doors, then there would be no four major stalls in the world today, and they would have been replaced by four famous catches.
entered the public office in his teens, and after more than 30 years, no matter how he calculates, Li Xuanyi must be nearly 50 years old. But at first glance, he still looks like he's in his early thirties. He has the skill to stay in the face, which proves that his internal cultivation is also very profound.
Cheng Li has long heard of the reputation of this "king hunter". And for such a person, Cheng Li is also very admired and respected. At least, if Cheng Li is always content with poverty and does not pursue more and better enjoyment, he will never be able to do it.
Therefore, Cheng immediately warmly beckoned Li Xuanyi and Zhang Zhifu to take their seats. Then he ordered his soldiers to bring fragrant tea and snacks.
Li Xuanyi doesn't drink tea or eat snacks. Ning said: "Yan Guogong, the officials are here today, not to eat and drink, but to run errands." Excuse me, Yan Guogong. Where were you last night? Who were around? Who can prove that you actually went to these places?"
The prefect was taken aback, and hurriedly shouted: "Li Zhutou, how can you speak to Yan Guogong like this? Quickly apologize?"
Although Li Xuanyi is just an ordinary head catcher, he is far from the prefect of the fifth rank official. But he has handled countless cases in his life, even the emperor's relatives and relatives, and they have all become his subordinates. So of course he won't take the reprimand of Governor Zhang's mansion to heart.
If what the prefect said was legitimate, reasonable, and reasonable, then Li Xuanyi would obey it. But if it is not legal, unreasonable, or unreasonable, then Li Xuanyi will only treat it as if he has not heard of it and will not give face at all. It is precisely because of this that he has not been able to rise for so many years.
Cheng Li knew from the archives of Xiuchun Building that Li Xuanyi was such a person. Therefore, he did not feel resentful of Li Xuanyi's attitude at all. replied seriously: "Last night, I had a banquet with Governor Zhang, Li Zhixian, and the deputy general Cheng Weibo next to me, and then left separately.
I saw that it was still early, so I wandered around Taean Mansion for a while. Later, I went to the 'Dai Zong Tower' in the city and sat for a while. Just ask. ”
Li Xuanyi stared at Cheng Li with his eyes and asked, "What about after that, did Yan Guogong go to Bixia Yuanjun Temple on the outskirts of the city?"
Cheng Li frowned, faintly feeling that something was wrong. Jaw head said: "I have indeed been there, and I have watched a good show." However, in the Bixia Yuanjun Temple, no one knew that I had been there. What's the matter, King Li Zhu, is something happening over there?"
Li Xuanyi nodded coldly and said solemnly: "Yes, in Bixia Yuanjun Temple, something did happen." From twenty-seven sects on the rivers and lakes, a total of three hundred and thirty-five lives, all of them died in the Bixia Yuanjun Temple overnight. On the walls of the temple, five big characters were written: Murderer Cheng Li!"
