Chapter 70: The Chin Case

Zhou Jiarui's crime was to swindle, pretend to be an official, and offer a reward of 500 taels of silver for his arrest.

Seeing this, everyone was surprised and delighted, happy that Mr. Zhou woke up, and fled outside, it should be safe, surprised that this goods caused such a big mess, it seems that intellectuals are not fuel-efficient lamps, as long as they get to the soil that suits them, they will make trouble more than anyone else.

The four of them led their horses into the city, and the soldiers defending the city didn't even look at them, although Omi City also made trouble with the Boxers, but the overall atmosphere was much more peaceful than that of the Jingshi, the shops were open as usual, and the streets were full of traffic, as usual.

People are sleepy and tired, first find a place to rest and eat, the last time to eat Yuejianglou is good, the four of them came to the tavern, handed over the horses to the little maid to take care of, and ordered to use good forage bean cakes to serve, a few masters went to the second floor to order, all the way to the boat and car, did not eat seriously, Lei Meng took the menu and did not look at it, let Xiao Er pick up all the dishes he was good at.

They didn't enter the private room, they sat around a table of eight immortals in the hall on the second floor, surrounded by diners, and the sound of bragging and chatting was endless, but it was also lively and cheerful, and suddenly Liu Yanzhi's ears moved, and he heard a table of guests by the window talking about Lin Huaiyuan, the prefect of Omi.

"Do you know that Lin Huaiyuan's case is a case that the Queen Mother Lafayette personally inquired about, and when it was reported here, Lafayette approved the fold the next day, and the edict sent by the six hundred miles was urgent, and Lin Huaiyuan's top was picked up on the spot, and his reputation was reversed, which is a big crime that is full of beheading."

The person who said this was a thin man with a lively spirit, a melon skin hat and satin coat, and a folding fan in his hand, which suddenly closed and suddenly opened, foaming at the mouth, and others who listened to it were stunned.

"Then isn't Lin Huaiyuan going to be beheaded?" The fat man sitting next to him asked.

"That's not it, the Lin family is finished, even with the nine clans are unlucky, but now it's the twentieth century, civilized society, our Qing Dynasty also has to be in line with international standards, not Xingzhulian nine clans, the Lin family has no one, there are two concubines and a daughter in the house, all of them are locked in the prison of the governor's yamen, waiting to be assigned to Ningguta and the armored people as slaves."

The fat man's eyes lit up: "I heard that the daughter of the prefect of Lin is a beauty, and she is assigned to Ningguta to give those who eat food and serve as soldiers, so it is better to sell it to Yihong Courtyard as a kiln sister, and our brothers can make up a few silver taels, and we can also taste the taste of the prefect's daughter." ”

A few people laughed lewdly, as if they had eaten a fishy wild cat.

The thin man continued: "Do you know what heinous crime Lin Huaiyuan has committed? ”

The fat man said: "I heard that there was a court prisoner in the mansion, or a prisoner who ran away when the law was changed." ”

The thin man said: "That's a rumor outside, my third brother-in-law's brother-in-law is the criminal master of the governor's yamen, and the case he handled, the person Lin Huaiyuan harbored was a person from the palace, with the clothes and belt of Lord Guangxu......"

Speaking of this, his voice was lowered, but Liu Yan's straight ears still heard it.

"The person who can't keep it is Guangxu himself, you think, the emperor has run away, something is going to go wrong outside, the Queen Mother Lafayette must not be anxious, Lin Huaiyuan is hiding the emperor, tight-lipped like a bottle, he wants to be the head of the country, thanks to the prefect's yamen Zhang Bantou has the eyesight, at the critical moment, the righteous annihilation, the secret report to the governor, three hundred taels of white silver in hand, not to mention, the governor looks the other way, the future is limitless."

Liu Yan was furious when he heard this, Lei Meng looked at him with a strange expression, and touched his leg under the table: "What's wrong?" ”

"Lin Huaiyuan was dismissed and imprisoned, and we killed him." Liu Yanzhi recounted what he had just heard.

"It's he who wants to believe that it has something to do with us." Zhang Wenbo said, "Don't you want to do a lot of things again, go to the prison to save people, let me state first, I won't participate." ”

"I'm not participating." Guo Yuhang also said, "When I came, Professor Dang explained, don't interfere in history, we have already caused a lot of trouble, don't make trouble, the most important thing is to go back safely." ”

Liu Yanzhi didn't argue with them, people were not obliged to accompany him on the adventure, and he didn't have any feelings for Lin Huaiyuan, the prefect of the Qing Dynasty more than a hundred years ago, but he couldn't bear it when he thought of Miss Lin's pitiful appearance.

"I'll stay, and you go back as planned." Liu Yan said stiffly.

"Let's look for Mr. Zhou together, and if I can't find it, I'll talk about anything else." Lei Meng took out the leader's style and made the final decision.

A quarter of an hour later, the four of them were full of wine and food, and called Xiao Er to settle the bill, this sumptuous meal only cost three taels of silver, came out of Yuejiang Building, found a hotel to stay, and the Gaosheng Inn where they stayed last time could not go again, and found a hotel in the south gate to stay.

On the third watch, Liu Yan changed his night clothes and went out, and went straight to the governor's yamen, the middle of the night in the provincial capital was silent, only the sound of the husband knocking on the bang came from afar, and a black shadow rushed up the high wall of the governor's yamen, and landed gently, in front of him was a black pressure building, but for people who broke through the Forbidden City at night, this is pediatrics.

The layout of the yamen is generally similar, the prison is located on the far west side in front of the yamen, Liu Yanzhi saw the prison temple and knew that he had found the right place, opposite the cell, the door of Hessesen was closed, and it was estimated that Lin Huaiyuan's family was locked inside.

There is a huge copper lock hanging on the door, Liu Yanzhi has received special lock-picking training, and the safe can be opened, not to mention this old-fashioned lock, he easily opened the copper lock, pushed the door in, the cell was empty, there were no prisoners in the two rows of cells, and there was no body odor in the air that the human body did not bathe all year round, indicating that there were no officials here.

This trip was empty, Liu Yanzhi pondered for a moment, decided to go to the mansion to have a look, and when he came to the outside of the mansion wall, he heard the noise of people, several drunks staggered over, peeking at the road, the road was narrow, and one of them was Zhang Bantou.

Zhang Bantou was wearing civilian clothes, and he was also proud of the spring breeze when he was drunk, and several of the people next to him were the servants of the soap class, who slapped the horse all the way and helped the team leader in.

The office of the yamen is divided into three classes and six rooms, Zhang Bantou is the head of the soap class, has his own separate room, he enters the room and inserts the door, falls asleep, sleeps for a while, feels thirsty, walks to the table and picks up the teapot, and is about to pour it into his mouth, when he sees a black figure sitting opposite, which frightens him out of his body.

"Come on......" Before he could shout, Zhang Bantou's throat was pinched, and a cold dagger rested on his neck.

"If you want to die, don't make a sound."

Zhang Bantou nodded desperately, that little bit of alcohol was all gone, he couldn't guess that a thief was so bold and dared to come to the mansion to commit a crime, could it be that he came to seek revenge? I don't have any serious enemies, but ......

"The good man spares his life, there is a hundred taels of silver in the cupboard, and he has not touched a penny, although he takes it." Zhang Bantou said in the smallest voice.

Liu Yanzhi was disgusted, this person was extremely cunning, he obviously got a reward of three hundred taels of silver, and he concealed two hundred taels when he died, and it was reasonable to be able to betray his master.

"Let me ask you, where is Lin Huaiyuan's family locked up?" Liu Yanzhi asked.

"The Yamen." Zhang Bantou replied without hesitation, he guessed correctly, the other party is not a thief, but an anti-thief! I came to avenge Lin Huaiyuan.

"Terrace?" Liu Yanzhi repeated, he didn't understand what kind of institution this was.

"It's the prosecutor who raises the sentence." Zhang Bantou explained, "It is under the control of the governor's yamen, the people who decide the case are under the control of the yamen, and the prefect Lin and his family are all locked up there, and I can lead the way if you want to go." ”

"Where's our host?" Liu Yanzhi continued to ask.

"I don't know, when the governor Yamen came to pick up people, the surname Zhou disappeared, and even ran away with the maid Xiaocui."

"Why did you betray Governor Lin?"

Zhang Bantou couldn't answer this question with his mouth open, even if he had a thousand reasons, he couldn't stand Lin Huaiyuan's kindness to him, and he couldn't say anything about betraying the lord to seek glory.

"You wolf-hearted thing." Liu Yan slashed the dagger and cut the major artery in Zhang Bantou's neck.

Zhang Bantou covered his neck, the blood arrow soared outward, because the trachea was also cut, the sound was released, he stumbled a few steps, fell to the ground and died, his eyes were still wide open.

Liu Yanzhi opened the cabinet, turned out two large silver ingots of fifty taels from it, put them in front of Zhang Bantou, took a brush from the table and dipped it in blood, and then wrote eight big characters on the whitewashed wall: The seller seeks glory, and it is not a pity to die.

After doing this, he calmly left, and went straight to the Yamen of Zhentai, which was near the governor's yamen, with high walls and deep courtyards, heavily guarded, and there were actually two soldiers with knives standing at the door in the middle of the night, carrying lanterns at the door, and the lampshade was written in Song script "Punishment according to the judge." ”

Liu Yanzhi still climbed over the wall to get in, and as soon as he landed, a black dog pounced on him, the biting dog didn't like to bark, opened his big mouth and showed Bai Sensen's fangs and beckoned to Liu Yanzhi's thigh, how did he expect a big foot to come on, the black dog was kicked out, his ribs were broken, and he swallowed in the air.

After a lot of twists and turns, Liu Yanzhi found the location of the cell, the place where the people were locked up was different from the official office, the windows were equipped with iron mullions, there was no padlock on the outside, it was inserted from the inside, and a faint light came out of the crack in the door.

Liu Yanzhi observed that there was no one around, stepped forward and pulled out the dagger, inserted it into the crack of the door and opened the latch, and took out the oil bottle that had been prepared for a long time, dipped the feather in soybean oil and brushed it on the door shaft, and then gently pushed the door open.

The two jailers were eating wine in the side room, and there was pig's head meat and peanuts on the table of the Eight Immortals, as well as a pot of good wine.

"Zhang Bantou is a conscientious person, and he knows that sending some wine and food to our buddies is not in vain Lin Huaiyuan's anti-thief cultivating him."

"If he really has a heart, he shouldn't have sold Governor Lin's mansion, because he can say it, and he is embarrassed to let us take care of Governor Lin's family, me, why don't you divide our brothers for three hundred taels of silver."

"I heard that he took two hundred taels of silver to pay some miles up and down, and wanted to buy the family of Governor Lin's house, and eighty percent of them were concubines who fell in love with others."

The two jailers spat and spat on it, completely oblivious to anyone coming.

Liu Yanzhi didn't talk nonsense, stepped forward and hit the heads of the two together, and with a bang, the two guys collapsed to the ground softly, with a severe concussion, and it was estimated that they would have to sleep until dawn.

There were official knives and keys hanging on the wall, and dozens of five-inch-long iron keys were worn on huge iron rings.
