Chapter 4 Catching Snakes with a Net
After walking through the long and gloomy stone road, going up I don't know how many steps, turning I don't know how many turns, his eyes lit up, and the group finally came to a very large house, the house was very magnificent, carved beams and painted buildings, towering and towering, and there were many officials standing at the door. The pen %fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info walked for a long time, he was already out of breath, first, he had steel shackles on his body, and secondly, the pipa bones were locked, and he lost all his internal strength, like a walking corpse.
In the courtyard next to the big house, there are several plum trees, with green leaves, and the dead branches are covered with green plums, which are as beautiful as green lanterns. The sound of high-pitched cicadas in my ears is elegant and beautiful.
Li Rumo thought that he was imprisoned in the deep prison at the bottom of Heishui City, and he was arraigned for the first time today, but it was already the height of summer, not only did he sigh long, everything was like a dream. Suddenly, Li Rumo smelled a strange fragrance of flowers, and when he turned his head to look, on the other side of the house, was a huge flower bed, which was filled with countless plum blossoms, in the bitter cold Xi'an City on the border of the north, plum blossoms were a rare thing, Li Rumo had only seen it in famous families before, but he didn't expect that in the middle of summer, it would look so beautiful, I don't know what strange tricks were used.
Li Rumo was escorted into the big house by the soldiers, which was where the yamen of the prefect of Xi'an City was located. A soldier slammed the back of his knife into the back of his heart, and he involuntarily knelt in front of the hall, his face almost rubbing against the green bricks on his feet. The soldier shouted loudly: "The murderer of the Qian Mansion in the south of the city, the Jiangyang thief Li Rumo brought it!" However, no one on the desk agreed.
After a while, the official shouted again: "Your Excellency, the death row prisoners of the Hanlin Mansion have been brought." When Li Rumo secretly looked up, he saw a middle-aged man sitting on the desk, wearing an official uniform with a hundred birds and a phoenix python, holding a wolf pen in his hand, and was sitting on the desk to review the folds, it was the prefect of Xi'an City, before Li Rumo entered the cage, he secretly inquired about the situation of the prefect, and knew that his surname was Wan, a single word, and a Jingshiren.
"Good, good, good!" Wan Zhifu said with a smile on his face, I don't know if he is saying that it is better to play the chapter or bring the prisoner up.
After Wan Zhifu said this, he buried his head in the fold and looked at it, but he didn't take the murderer in the audience seriously, but when he saw him, his brows were tightly knit for a while, his face was worried, and his joy was overflowing for a while. There is a person standing behind the prefect, looking at the costume is the master, his expression is serious and neat, but his face is very delicate, and he does have a bit of the demeanor of Jiangnan people. Since ancient times, there is no master who cannot become a master, the master is famous all over the world, and the lawsuit money and food are all connected, seeing that the master in front of him can sit firmly on the throne of the master of the Yamen of the Xi'an Prefect, he will definitely not be an ordinary person.
Li Rumo was very angry in his heart, thinking that he had been so despised in Xi'an City? I knew that the prefect of Xi'an City was such a mediocre and confused dog official, and he should have entered the prefect's yamen in the first place, seized his belongings, insulted his women, cut off his dog's head with the last knife, and set a fire to burn the best and highest prefect's yamen in Xi'an City clean, how could there be today's shame? But his pipa bone was locked by iron cables, and his whole body was lost, and I could only be slaughtered by others for fish and meat, and I had no choice but to do it. An hour passed, and no one in the lobby said a word except for the laughter and scolding of Wan Zhifu. Outside the window, the cicadas chirped slowly, and the fragrance was bursting, Li Rumo knew that only the fragrance of plum blossoms was so fragrant.
After a long time, Wan Zhifu finally raised his head and glanced at Li Rumo, as if he was very puzzled, he asked lightly: "What crime has this little dog thief and little rotten person committed in the hall?" "The accent is an authentic Kyoshi accent.
The official with the knife was just about to report it, but he heard a crisp voice say: "Lord Hui, this person's name is Li Rumo, four months ago in the south of the city, the Qian Shangshu Mansion burglarized, the intention was **, the crime was revealed, and he killed eighteen people in the Hanlin Mansion and set fire to countless houses. It turned out that the master behind the prefect was answering, listening to the accent from Zhejiang, respectful, decent and safe. Li Rumo secretly complained in his heart, he knew that no matter how confused the official master was, the master behind him, especially the master of Shaoxing, should definitely not be underestimated.
"Ah, a felon?!" The Lord of Wanzhifu showed horror in his eyes, and shouted loudly: "Hurry up and let the soldiers come forward to guard." ”
Master Ye was motionless, and said lightly: "Back to the master, the prisoner's pipa bone is locked, and even if he has great skills, he can't escape from the palm of your hand, master." ”
Li Rumo saw that the Wan Zhifu in front of him was immoral, and the official spent a few words, he didn't know who he was and what crime he had committed, so he put himself in the court, he was simply pedantic and confused, but the corrupt officials and corrupt officials he had seen before were not so sparse, but he was sneering in his heart, looking at how this obscene dog prefect judged the case. Wan Zhifu lowered his head slightly, and whispered: "Bold fanatic Li Rumo, hurry up and honestly confess the matter of your bloody Hanlin Mansion." ”
Li Rumo shouted loudly: "Back to the master, I didn't plot **, I didn't kill anyone, I never went to the Qian Mansion at all, I, Li Rumo, am definitely wronged!" ”
Wan Zhifu asked: "Bold thief, you dare to quibble with more than ten lives in your hands, it's just that the stones in the pit are smelly and hard." Say, "Where were you on the night of August 15?" ”
"On August 15, I was in ...... Let the grass people think about it. It turned out that the August 15th that the prefect asked was the day when Li Rumo was taken down and sent to Xi'an City Prison in a daze after he was dashing in the "Qin Wa Pavilion" in the Ecstasy Cave.
Li Rumo thought of spending a lingering night with Hengbo that night, although a big man was prostituting in a brothel, which was not very refreshing, but compared with eighteen lives, it was better to recruit prostitutes than to lose one's life, and at this moment, he could only bring this matter out and remove the suspicion of killing eighteen lives.
He pondered quickly in his head, and in order to keep his head firmly on his neck, he still readily confessed that he had spent the night in a brothel.
Li Rumo replied: "Back to my lord, on August 15, the villain was in a brothel in Xi'an City. ”
"A brothel? In that brothel? Wan Zhifu really raised his head at this time, his eyes lit up, it seems that lust is the nature of men, and they are all interested in this kind of thing. Li Rumo saw that Wan Zhifu above the court was in his forties, with a thin and handsome appearance and two beautiful beards, but he was a beautiful man with a dignified appearance. Wan Zhifu saw Li Rumo spitting and spitting, and said impatiently: "Today, eight cases have been tried in a row, all of which are small cases of rape and thieves trying to make money, and my neck is about to be broken, master." Hurry up, don't mother-in-law. ”
Li Rumo raised his head and replied: "Back to my lord, on the night of August 15, I stayed there all night in the Qinwa Pavilion in Xi'an City, and I didn't go anywhere else. I was wronged, and I had nothing to do with the Qian family's murder. ”
Wan Zhifu said with a smile on his face: "Bold Li Rumo, you said that you were a prostitute in Qinwa Pavilion, and I believed it, master?" Do you have a witness? ”
"Absolutely." Li Rumo shouted loudly: "That night, it was Miss Hengbo from the Qinwa Pavilion who was serving the villain. If you don't believe it, the lord can send someone to find Miss Hengbo to testify in person. ”
"Come on, hurry to the Qinwa Pavilion and bring Miss Hengbo." Wan Zhifu drank a word, threw down a wolf toothpick, and a catcher came from outside to receive the order, picked up the order stick, walked out of the gate quickly, flew on the horse, and the horse's hooves stepped on the bluestone road outside.
Li Rumo thought in his heart, the Wanzhi Mansion of Xi'an Mansion in front of him seemed to be dumbfounded, stupid, cowardly, and amorous, but he was stupid and cute, not as insidious and cunning as other government masters, corrupt and perverted the law, speaking of which, this dog official still has a bit of official morality, and he has a good impression of him in his heart.
At this moment, Wan Zhifu lowered his head carelessly, and looked at his face intentionally or unintentionally, Li Rumo's heart was as tough as iron, and he looked at Wan Zhifu's eyes, and suddenly, there was a trace of viciousness hidden in Wan Zhifu's obscene and helpless gaze, which suddenly stabbed his heart like a poisonous needle, and he broke out in a cold sweat, why did this happen? What is the background of this prefect? Why does the eye make people tremble? But in an instant, Wan Zhifu's eyes began to look left and right, and it seemed to return to the previous muddy nightmare. Half an hour later, the sound of horses' hooves sounded again on the bluestone paved road outside the door, and the official ran in, put a large burden on the desk of the Wan Zhifu, retreated to the side, and stood with his hands down. Li Rumo faintly felt that something was wrong in his heart, the master took a step forward and slowly opened the burden, to everyone's surprise, there was a bloodstained human head in the baggage, it was none other than Miss Hengbo of the Qin Wa Pavilion.
Li Rumo's head "Weng", he didn't understand how this could happen? A few months ago, she had a spring breeze with herself, but now she is wandering in the underworld and becoming a headless ghost, what is it for? The official reported that Miss Hengbo was killed on the night of August 15, and the body was separated, and Qin Waguan was afraid of getting into a lawsuit, so he threw the head and corpse and the bloody steel knife into a dry well. Miss Yokoba's head is taken from the dry well.
Li Rumo's mind was in a mess, and he vaguely felt that he was shrouded in a huge net, and the person who manipulated the net was extremely vicious. He originally thought that as long as he invited Miss Hengbo, he could clear his suspicion of killing people in the Qian Mansion, but he never thought that Hengbo would be killed, and he was thrown into the Yellow River, and he couldn't be washed away anyway.
He was wondering, only to hear Wan Zhifu shout: "The bold criminal Li Rumo, who dares to deceive this mansion and not let you suffer a little, you will not recruit." ”
